[0:01] I'm Russ Mitchell. In his strongest
[0:03] language yet, President Bush warns
[0:04] Democrats in Congress. They are failing
[0:06] the American military and the American
[0:08] people.
[0:09] >> The price of that failure will be paid
[0:11] by our troops and their loved ones.
[0:13] >> Democrats counter. You're out of touch,
[0:15] Mr. President.
[0:16] >> He is president of the United States,
[0:18] not King of the United States.
[0:20] >> Late word tonight, a deal to release the
[0:22] 15 British soldiers held by Iran is

[1:06] Democrats turned up the heat in what has
[1:08] become a battle of wills with enormous
[1:10] stakes. At least 3,257 US soldiers and
[1:13] Marines have been killed since the 2003
[1:16] invasion. And the Iraq war has cost US
[1:18] taxpayers an estimated 378 billion
[1:21] dollars. At the heart of this latest
[1:23] battle is how much more money should be
[1:25] spent and who will decide when to bring
[1:27] the troops home. We have two reports
[1:29] beginning with Bill Plant at the White
[1:30] House.
