The Dems should send the bill back exactly like it is currently written. No changes. Let him veto it until he has no more money for blood.

Would that be option B ?
Because they’re already drafting the same bill with the troop withdrawal timeline removed.

Some kind of reality check about the difference between principles and political theatre might be in order.

You gotta love the AP and how they can spin things. This one was a real head spinner. ““President Bush vetoed legislation to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq”. The legislation was not to pull troops out of Iraq, the legislation was to fund the “war” (occupation) in Iraq. That is a headline I would have assumed to come from Faux Noise, not from the AP. But, you know, it’s that damn liberal media that causes all our problems.

Some people were suprised by those poll results showing news blog readers being less informed that Rush Limbaugh listeners and 3rd last among all polled.
Others apparently took it is a challenge to become less informed.

Seriously, every news source you could possibly find outside of Turkmenistan is telling you the same thing and has been for a week and you’re citing one of them as “spin”.
Rock bottom here we come baby.

whenever the going gets tough for Righty, they sneak around in the bushes and kill the leaders of their opposition

must be rough, being stuck with loser ideology – serving as lickspittle pawns in their plutocrat overlords’ fantasies – ignoble, and unworthy of the role the Founders cast “We the People” in.

We need to bring our brave Troops home NOW.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi need to bring impeachment back on the table. First Cheney the evil one and than the six year old temper tantrum Bush and his wacko Admin.

Yeah, and it would have been 1050 days if the Dems were in office. The difference would be that the Dems wouldn’t have created 10s of thousands of new extremists and we wouldn’t have to worry about anybody “following us home”.

President George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President,

Today, in your veto message regarding the bipartisan legislation just passed on Operation Iraqi Freedom, you asserted that you so decided because you listen to your commanders on the ground.

Respectfully, as your former commander on the ground, your administration did not listen to our best advice. In fact, a number of my fellow Generals were forced out of their jobs, because they did not tell you what you wanted to hear — most notably General Eric Shinseki, whose foresight regarding troop levels was advice you rejected, at our troops’ peril.

[...]

As someone who served this nation for decades, I have the utmost respect for the office you hold. However, as a man of conscience, I could not sit idly by as you told the American people today that your veto was based on the recommendations of military men. Your administration ignored the advice of our military’s finest minds before, and I see no evidence that you are listening to them now.

I urge you to reconsider your position, and work with Congress to pass a bill that achieves the goals laid out above.

Respectfully,

Major General Paul D. Eaton, USA, Retired

AWESOME, except for the excessive use of the word “respectfully”. I’d have to cut my tongue out if I EVER used that word in context with Der Shrubinator.

You moron, need to understand that you have to have an enemy to be surrendering. Who is the enemy in this civil war created by Dubya?

You also need to understand that the Congress does not work for Dubya the drunken AWOL coward…that stupid stooge works for us, the people and we don’t want his fucking war.

Go enlist, asshole.

I used my fucking brain, shit for brains, and then I read “Bush on the Couch”, Justin A. Frank, MD.

A moron and an alcoholic enabled by feebled minded people like you.

No more. No more innocent life at the hands of the terrorists.

Pelosi and Reid are either well-intentioned or politically motivated, but their elevators don’t go to the top. They’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic. They’re stupid. Hence, the veto of the surrender legislation.

The surrender monkeys were told to go back to work and come up with a bill that contains no surrender clause.

What??? The war was about OIL????? What about spreading democracy?

Heh. Glad I live in a city and have access to public transit.

…now you’re talkin’ BnF…

…After we’ve confiscated as much REPULSIVESCUM ill-gotten war profiteering gains we can get…

…THEN we can split it with the Iraqi victims…

…But the Bushites MUST PAY financially as well…
