They can simply release a statement.

"We are unwilling to fund these efforts any longer. We will provide money for withdrawal if necessary, but the House will consider no more bills providing funding to the Iraq war."

As for Bigtree's point about "Not sending a clear message", I'm assuming he means an "Order." Even with a 67 vote bill, Bush will assert Commander in Chief authority to ignore it, and Roberts and Alito will back him up on it.

Since that is not feasible, both from the votes in the senate and from the Supreme Court, then this path is a far better idea, and an alternative to impeachment for those who are unsupportive of it, but would like to end the occupation.
