Bush again promises to veto a bill that includes a timetable for withdrawing from Iraq:
WASHINGTON — President Bush renewed his veto threat on an Iraq spending bill on Wednesday in the face of a defiant Senate that is set to pass legislation that includes an order for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq beginning 120 days after the bill is signed into law.
That's never going to happen, Bush says.
Bush's threat comes one day after Senate Democrats narrowly won a vote to keep in place a timetable that calls for the beginning of U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq within 120 days of passage of the measure. It also offers a suggested by nonbinding goal of removing all combat troops by March 31, 2008.
I pray he stands by his decision, although the bills passed in both chambers of Congress has done much to hurt the war effort. I think he will veto the bills. He has been very strong in his support for the war. If only wish that he would address the security of our borders with the same commitment.
