8. they do not need a veto proof majority-- that is a smoke screen....
A veto-proof majority is needed ONLY to override a presidential veto, but Pelosi and the dem House have the authority RIGHT NOW to simply pull the plug on the war against Iraq. The House must ORIGINATE any supplemental appropriations-- for crimes against humanity, mind you-- and the easy way out of the problem is to simply block appropriations. End of war.
