I hope Bush vetoes the entire bill and I would love to start a recall of EVERY Senator who voted for it.

Band of sissies realizes elections are around the corner. What a pack of spineless turds.

snip:

In its statement on the veto threat, the White House said the measure would "restrict the president's authority to protect Americans effectively from terrorist attack and bringing terrorists to justice."

Terrorists are rejoicing, that the US CONGRESS is going out of their way to protect the terrorists, instead of the American people.

I don't think Bush is aware he even has Veto power.

[oolatec]

Unless this is vetoed, we have just lost the war.

Figures McLame is the one behind this.

And Powell is enthusiastically supporting them. I am glad he is no longer in the administration.

Jabbing at the administration in which he served, retired four-star general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell backed McCain's amendment, which he said in a letter would "help deal with the terrible public diplomacy crisis created by Abu Ghraib."

Band of sissies realizes elections are around the corner. What a pack of spineless turds.

And so the MSM vultures wins a major victory for the terrorists and the ACLU.

Dramatic as your statement is, I am afraid you are exactly right.

This is worse than it looks. Over the last year, the MSM hypes "abuses" at Gitmo for political purposes. Then the people start believing it, polling shows people 'concerned about abuses at Guantanamo', and our elected officials all try to get out in front of it.

Laugh if you want to, but this vote was brought to us courtesy of the New York Times, et al.

[FairOpinion]

My question is, will they accept responsibility, if we have another attack, which may have been prevented by interrogating some terrorists we captured?

Remember, if the FBI had been able to look at Moussaui's computer, they may have discovered and foiled the 9-11 attack.

Now Congress wants to shackle intelligence gathering again, even after seeing what happened on 9-11.

Don't get me started...

Mr. President:

You know how you've never used your veto pen? Here's a damn good time to try it.

Who are the 10 patriots??

[FairOpinion]

Does anyone know who voted for and against?

I tried to find it, but I couldn't. I am sure it's there, is you know how to look

[RockinRight]

Has this made it through the House yet?

[Graymatter]

I hope Bush vetoes the entire bill...

What a breakthrough in genetic engineering that would be. Next thing you know they'd be regenerating spines in Congress.

[NeoCaveman]

President Bush's threat to veto the larger bill that the language is now attached to -- a $440 billion military spending measure.

Maybe Bush will finally veto something???

[FairOpinion]

"McCain's allies included Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), a former military lawyer, and Armed Services Committee Chairman John W. Warner (R-Va.)."

This is total crap. These worthless Senators are more worried about our enemies than they are our own troops.

What a bunch of wussies! I met several of my son's fellow Marines last weekend at a welcome home party for my son and let me tell you. Anyone of these fine young men are more valuable to our country than the entire worthless Senate put together.
