Today George Bush vetoed the war spending bill which included a timeline for troop withdrawal. The bill was initially passed by the Democratic-controlled Congress last month. He made his decision public and included that he believed the Democrats had approved a plan that set a “rigid and artificial” deadline that “would impose impossible conditions for our commanders and troops in combat.”
“I recognize that many Democrats saw this bill as an opportunity to make a political statement about their opposition to the war,” he said. “They sent their message,” but now, he warned, Congress should begin working on a new bill so that troops can get necessary funds.
