Bush will veto, but the arrogance of the Dems is shocking even after all they have done so far. This is completely unconstitutional!
WASHINGTON — In another sign of Republican unease with the president’s Iraq policies, a third GOP senator expressed support Thursday for pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq under certain conditions.
Sen. Olympia J. Snowe announced she would sponsor a bill to require American commanders to plan a withdrawal within 120 days of the bill’s enactment, unless the Iraqi government meets a series of benchmarks.
“The Iraq government needs to understand that our commitment is not infinite,” said Snowe, a moderate from Maine who frequently departs from the party line.
President Bush has insisted that Congress not impose any limits on his conduct of the four-year-old war. But Snowe has taken issue with that view.
“It is our business as well,” she said Thursday.
