I sincerly hope the Dems don't back down on giving Bush a funding bill that requires a time table for being done with this mess. Let Bush refuse to support the troops if he dosn't like it!
You still have not heard from him, I resurrected this thread in light of the funding bill on the floor of Congress at the moment.

As of today the reconciliation committee working on the bill has made the withdrawal timetable non binding, and Bush says he will veto it anyway.

I hope that the Republicans in Congress wake up to the FACT they are not doing their duty. They should be willing to unanimously accept the bill because it provides the funds, does not require withdrawal, and expresses the will of the people, to withdraw.

Bush says he will veto the bill even it it is only advisory on the timetable for withdrawal, because, he thinks the Generals should make the decision. HE FAILS TO MENTION THAT THE GENERALS TAKE THEIR ORDERS FROM BUSH. He is the Commander In Chief. IF CONGRESS TELLS HIM TO TELL THE GENERALS TO GET OUT OF IRAQ, HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS TO TELL THEM. CONGRESS IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT.
