The Democratic House leadership is demonstrating that they want debate as much as the Democratic leadership in the Senate:

A House vote on Iraq this week will be limited to the question of supporting President Bush’s troop escalation, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Sunday.
Hoyer’s comment drew a vehement objection from House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, who said House Democrats had promised to allow a vote this week on a Republican alternative opposing a cutoff of money for the war.

I bet they are just as afraid as Reid was that the Democrats will vote overwhelmingly to promise to fund the troops. Cowards! Why don’t you just debate the issues? What are you afraid of? (The answer is obvious: the wrath of their base.)
