"The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday sought to block the Bush administration from using $658 million it requested in an emergency war spending bill to build an embassy in Baghdad, a move that could delay construction.

The House voted 258-170 in favor of a measure, introduced by a Republican, that would stop the money being used for embassy construction, maintenance and security."
