Troop Funding Bill clears House.

The House of Representatives passed a Bill that allows the funding President Bush request for continued funding for the war in Iraq. The bill also calls for Troop Redeployment to begin in March of '08 and to be finalized by August of '08. The measure narrowly passed in a sharply divided House by a margin of just 218 for and 212 against.
President Bush has promised to veto the bill, accusing the House of playing "Political Theatre" and "abdicating their responsibility". Bush also said, “These Democrats believe that the longer they can delay funding for our troops, the more likely they are to force me to accept restrictions on our commanders, an artificial timetable for withdrawal and their pet spending projects, This is not going to happen.”
The House is trying to follow the will of the people who elected them. It's convenient to accuse them of failing the troops, but by Vetoing a bill that funds the troops and sets a deadline for redeployment almost five and a half years after an invasion that was supposed to take six months tops, isn't is the President and his policies that are ultimately failing the troops?
If El Arbusto Vetoes the spending bill he will be denying funding to the troops. There are no ifs ands or buts about that one. This man's presidential legacy will be one of short sighted foreign policy, a near successful grab for absolute power to the Executive Branch of Government, disassembling the Constitution, the very fabric of our national freedom, torture of prisoners of war, abuse of the brave fighting men and women of our armed forces by sending them into battle with substandard equipment and now by denying funding because the House is legislating the will of the people and holding him accountable to it.
It's quite a resume.
The people of this nation should realize that EL Arbusto has been playing politics with the future of this nation for four years. He has shown at every turn how little he cares for the Citizens of this nation and for the Constitution he swore to uphold and protect.
El Arbusto is a champion of the Saudi royal family, big business and yes, big oil. I am sure he is planning his retirement in a nice secure compound somewhere in South America while the next administration is left to clean up the mess he made of our country and our relationship with the world.
Why should refusing to fund the brave men and women who are fighting his Police Action for profit cause him to lose sleep when he can blame it on other people? He's been pulling that rabbit out of his hat since he took office. America, aren't you tired of that trick yet?
