I do know the President is the commander-in-chief of all the US military, but Congress is the entity that funds our military?
There has to be some way to make Congress's opinion null and void. To me, what Congress is demanding Bush do is just an opinion. Whether they circumvent the law and make it real just doesn't matter to me. It's still an opinion. It just gives me all the more reason to purchase a few firearms to defend myself for when the Radicals come.
I agree with you, especially when you realize that the Senate will likely filibuster it, and ten the President can veto it.
But the MSM will spin it to make it look like the President is ignoring U.S. laws and will scream the war is illegal if troops stay in Iraq. Or they will cut off the funding and claim the President has to abide by their legislation. The worst they can do is shut down the government over it by tying it to the bidget or other spending bills with lots of popular/necessary items. But it will all be spun to make Bush look like he is breaking the laws they make.
It should be made clear to them that if they do they will receive no more support from the party.
Americans to surrender by fall 2008-
now you troops in Iraq, just keep on fighting with all your hearts. sarc
Could this be the issue that pushes Lieberman across the aisle?
Democrats also are including funds for a health care program for low-income children. The program is popular among governors of both political parties, but the Bush administration has not signaled its acquiescence to the additional money.
So if Bush vetos the bill, the dems will scream he is denying health care to children.

You got it. I don't blame a soldier or Marine one bit if he holds back now with idiots like this in Congress conspiring to pull the rug out from under you.
Hey...I am laughing cause I just thought of that Comcast commercial with the turtles, The Slowskis. In the latest one he is pushing a laptop accross the lawn and the Mrs. Slowski the turtle says" Push harder!"
And he says" YOU push. YOU push real good!!"
That's what I'm hoping for. Couldn't happen to a more deserving crowd.
If they want to push something, they can go push a rope...
Well put.
"Jack congress is only giving you 12 hours to find the nukes instead of 24."
Let this be their high water mark.
Well they better! Otherwise we are going to win this war!
Oh the HORROR!

I hope he coes cross the aisle. I hope he remembers who was good to him in the last election, and it certainly was not the democrat party at any level. I felt bad to see him treated like that. It was shameful, but then the d emocrat party has become so shameful.
It may be disloyal but it's not stupid.
Ah, the Culture of 'Cut & Run' makes it official.
you see this?
