President Bush is expected to quickly
sign the emergency Iraq War

spending bill approved by Congress last
night, but first, at the start

of this memorial day weekend.. he
took a trip to Bethesda Naval

hospital to visit wounded US soldiers.

(natz Senate vote)

The passage of the 120 billion dollar

legislation is seen as a

significant victory for the President.

He vetoed an earlier version of the
bill that included timetables for

U-S troop withdrawal and he remained
steadfast until those provisions

were removed.

Sot:

(Roberts Bridge/Capitol Hill)

The bill does outline numerous
benchmarks that the Iraqi government
will

be expected to reach.. but it only
funds the war until September...when

democrats plan to resume their push to
bring troops home.

(natz al-Sadr)

locator: Kufa, Iraq

The radical Shiite cleric Muqtada
al-Sadr is another person who wants

U-S troops out of Iraq. He came out of
hiding today and in a fiery

speech once again demanded the
withdrawal of the occupation forces.

(natz Iraq)

But American forces don't plan on
leaving anytime soon.. and they're

pushing forward in their massive
search to find two missing soldiers ..

ambushed earlier this month south of
Baghdad. The body of the third

missing soldier was found in the
Euphrates River this week . and the

U-S military now says six more troops
were killed in recent days�adding

to the mounting death toll of troops
who will be mourned this memorial

day.

had all kinds of problems right at the
start of practice, as he lost control
of his Ford entering turn four.

And by the time he got out of it, he
was in the wall.

The crash forced him to go to a
back up, but he should be fine.

Until now, Reggie had eluded some of
the world's most famous gator
wranglers-- even the late Steve Irwin
was going to try to catch him.

Reggie was released into Lake
Machado in 2005 by a former policeman,
who could no longer care for him
because he'd grown too big.

Park officials spotted Reggie on dry
land yesterday.

They taped his mouth shut, and fire
officials helped transfer him into a
waiting vehicle.
