War fund bill talks collapse | Chicago Tribune:

WASHINGTON -- Negotiations to pay for the war in Iraq fell apart Friday as the White House accused Democrats of 'being dug in' on a timeline for withdrawing U.S. troops while Democrats charged that President Bush refused to accept any accountability for how the war is proceeding.

During a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill, Democratic leaders offered to drop billions of dollars in domestic spending if Bush would agree to a timetable to pull troops out of Iraq, a schedule he could waive if he deemed it militarily necessary. Top White House officials, including Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, rejected the proposal.
