David Beckham To Join Los Angeles Galaxy
BLITZER: The world's most famous athlete is crossing the pond. England's David Beckham will leaving his Spanish team, Real Madrid, in June to join Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy. Here with reaction from around the world is our Internet reporter, Abbi Tatton -- Abbi.</s>ABBI TATTON, CNN INTERNET REPORTER: Wolf, the headlines that you cannot miss in the U.K. today, David Beckham leaving to come here, joining the Los Angeles Galaxy when his season ends with Spanish team Real Madrid this summer. Now, if you are lost, we are talking about soccer. That's the sport that the rest of the world calls football and which David Beckham is arguably the most famous, the most followed, the most photographed player. But it's not just Beckham that's going to be headed stateside. It's the Beckhams. David Beckham and his wife Victoria -- that's wife Victoria, AKA, Posh Spice. Who could forget the Spice Girls? They're both going to be heading this way. And you better get used to them. Beckham has signed a five-year deal, and he's reportedly earning in excess of $250 million -- Wolf.</s>BLITZER: That's nice, $250 million. Jack Cafferty would take a $250 million paycheck, right?</s>JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: It sure is something to look forward to, isn't it, Wolf, that guy and his -- one of those Spice Girls coming here? I can hardly wait.</s>BLITZER: Yes.</s>CAFFERTY: The question is, how much longer will President Bush be allowed to prosecute the war in Iraq on his own terms? Pearl in Florida writes, "President Bush will do as he wishes until he's stopped. A child out of control cannot be reasoned with unless he's not allowed to continue his behavior. The Congress has the means and methods of stopping the catastrophic plans of escalating the losing war in Iraq. Whether it will be a legal vote against the decision, cutting off funds, or his last recourse impeachment, it can and must be done." Bill in Idaho writes, "We need to do to Bush what we did to Nixon. We baby boomers need to take care of one of our own. We need to finish the revolution we started in the '60s, only this time we're not flower children. We're pissed off senior citizens. Toss this warmonger out of office." Steve writes, "I think President Bush has laid out the challenges with Iraq from the very start. He said the terrorists were ruthless, evil, and kill innocent civilians. They kill Americans just for the fun of it (9/11). Everything was fine on the initial entrance to the war in Iraq as long as it looked like we were winning. Three thousand soldiers is a drop in the bucket for the price that is due for our freedom." "Now the Democrats want to cut and run. What a bunch of pansies." Chuck in Pennsylvania writes, "How long will Bush get his way in Iraq? Until about Easter, I think. Then Congress will be nailing his carcass to an impeachment tree. I hope." And Steven in Washington writes, "President Bush will continue on his chosen reckless path as long as Congress allows him to. The real reason he's opposed to stem-cell research is that he's afraid the research will discover how to grown backbones for Democrats."

One of the toughest statements so far critical of the president, it didn't come from a Democrat. It came from Chuck Hagel earlier today, a Republican, a Vietnam War veteran, someone who is bitterly opposed to this troop increase.</s>CAFFERTY: And he's not running for president in 2008, unlike some of his Republican Senate colleagues who are.</s>BLITZER: Well, I'm not so sure. Chuck Hagel -- you know, every senator wakes up every morning, they look in the mirror and they see a future president of the United States. We'll see, Jack. Thanks very much.</s>CAFFERTY: Sure.</s>BLITZER: Let's go to New York. Lou Dobbs standing by.
