Bush's Iraq war funding request collapsed in the House Thursday as anti-war Democrats and Republicans unhappy about added domestic funding combined to kill — for now — $163 billion (€105 billion) to support U.S. troops overseas. The unlikely coalition formed when Republicans...

And even if they were, Hillary Rodham Clinton still couldn't catch up with Barack Obama's growing lead in delegates. The Democratic Party's Rules and Bylaws Committee, a 30-member panel charged with interpreting and enforcing party rules, is scheduled to meet May 31 to...
