| NCO   |  Rep. Hoyer: Vote on Iraq Will Be Limited My Way News - Rep. Hoyer: Vote on Iraq Will Be Limited Feb 11, 10:22 AM (ET) WASHINGTON (AP) - 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. Hoyer, D-Md., said such a vote would occur later. "Live up to your word," Boehner told Hoyer. Democrats, Boehner said, "won't even let us have a substitute. ... Give us a vote this week." The lawmakers appeared on "Meet the Press" on NBC.
