President Bush Vetoes democrats Sneaky War Funding Bill
President Bush vetoed a $124 billion measure yesterday that would have funded overseas military operations but required him to begin withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq as early as July.
Bush carried through on his veto threat just after the legislation arrived at the White House, calling the timetable a "prescription for chaos and confusion" that would undercut generals. "Setting a deadline for withdrawal would demoralize the Iraqi people, would encourage killers across the broader Middle East and send a signal that America will not keep its commitments," he said last night. "Setting a deadline for withdrawal is setting a date for failure."
"The democrat pork in the bill is an insult to the intelligence of the American people."
democrats passed the legislation on the barest of party-line votes and harbor no hope of overriding Bush's veto.
Next result - democrats once again waste taxpayers' money over hot air.
