Democrats Shouldn't Put IMF Bailout Over Troops

Angry Republicans on Capitol Hill are charging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California with putting the interests of international lending organizations ahead of the needs of U.S. troops in the field.

Democrats in the House have put supplemental legislation to support troops
in Iraq and Afghanistan on hold as they try to round up the votes they need to put a $108 billion global bailout of the International Monetary Fund onto this piece of "must pass" legislation.

The House passed an initial troop funding bill in May on a 368-0 bipartisan vote.

Capitol Hill Republicans say the only reason for sticking the IMF bailout on the new troop funding bill is that it is the only way to get it through the Congress
