Democrats Call Iraq War a "Grotesque Mistake" in House Debate
The House erupted in impassioned election-year debate over the Iraq war on Thursday. Republicans defended the conflict as key to winning the global struggle against terrorism, while Democrats called the war a failed policy, lamenting the lives lost, billions of dollars spent and the bruised US image since the war started.

Senate Approves Another $65.8 Billion for War
The US Senate on Thursday easily passed a $94.5 billion compromise emergency bill to fund the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and rebuild after last summer's hurricanes. When Bush signs the legislation into law, $65.8 billion will be rushed to the Pentagon so it can continue combat in the two countries through September.
