| Rep. Hoyer: Vote on Iraq will be limited AP - A House vote on Iraq this week will be limited to the question of supporting President Bush's troop escalation, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (news, bio, voting record) said Sunday. Hoyer's comment drew a vehement objection from House Minority Leader John Boehner (news, bio, voting record), R-Ohio, who said House Democrats had promised to allow a vote this week on a Republican alternative opposing a cutoff of money for the war. Hoyer, D-Md., said such a vote would occur later. "Live up to your word," Boehner told Hoyer. Democrats, Boehner said, "won't even let us have a substitute. ... Give us a vote this week." The lawmakers appeared on "Meet the Press" on NBC. source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070211/ap_on_go_co/us_iraq [link] | ||||
