Bush, Democrats engage in crossfire on Iraq funds

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President George W. Bush piled pressure on Democrats on Saturday to approve $100 billion to fund the Iraq war without attaching a troop pullout timetable, while Democrats called on him to compromise. 

In his weekly radio address, Bush again attacked Democrats in control of the U.S. Congress for not approving legislation he can sign to allocate the money, saying the resulting delay could lead to longer tours of duty for troops in Iraq.
