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, escalating the most serious confrontation between the White House and Congress over war policy in a generation.
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."
So we are have some successes? I am not trying to be funny I am asking someone, anyone to show me where we have done something right. I recall just hearing on on NPR that many of the projects that were built after the occupation of Iraq are failing or have not even been completed.
Our contractors are near criminal in their undertaking either bilking the US with inflated invoices or not even preforming the service they were contracted to preform. Some of them, the VP's company has even served our own troops water that was contaminated.
So Mr. President, what is the end game, more of the same and what will that get us in the long run. I does seem that your buddies are all making a bundle could that be the point of this war.........
