Iraq Spending Bill Is on Its Way to the White House

The Senate and Congress have sent President Bush the Iraq spending bill that he's promised to veto.  We hear about the debate, the "surge," timetables for troop withdrawal, and the importance of public opinion.  Also, the UN criticizes Maliki government over Iraq's increasing violence and, on Reporter's Notebook, a committee of Congress has subpoenaed Condoleezza Rice to testify about the justification for war.  She's not inclined to comply.
