Presidential Veto


President Bush has just vetoed the supplemental war funding bill passed by Congress with timetables for troop withdrawal. Democrats must now move toward a war funding bill that will need to be reviewed in 2-3 months, so that this issue will be revisited in June-July.

Bush's war of choice in Iraq has been a disaster, and the Congress must hold the President responsible. Support for the war is waning in almost all circles, and though there is not enough support for total troop withdrawal at this point, pressure will continue to build.
