AP reports: “President Bush vetoed legislation to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq Tuesday night in a historic showdown with Congress over whether the unpopular and costly war should end or escalate.” It was the second veto of his presidency.
UPDATE: Two generals who commanded U.S. troops in Iraq respond to the veto.
