• Fact Sheet: America and Our Allies Are Working Together to Keep Our Nations Safe
It has now been 85 days since President Bush requested that Congress pass emergency funds for our troops.
Today, President Bush vetoed the UNCONSTITUTIONAL pork filled monstrosity of an excuse for an emergency funding bill for our beloved troops.
Thanks Justa - I just got home and have been office bound. Was his speech wonderful?
….. Jewels1091 - CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Sorry...I didn’t know he was going to veto it tonight. Tons of new stuff came in after 6:30.
Hey there kitkat.
LOL! Hi STAR!
Yeppers! 5th to be exact. ;*)
Hello ohio! Very rough day.....

Rack Dubya veto on Lord ha ha Botox Queen Nancy on veto on war on terror
Haven’t seen one. Just checked again.
i’ll have to pick a good picture for the toaster!
Yes it has. Now I hear they are going to wait ANOTHER 5 days before trying to get a veto proof majority on the SAME piece of garbage.
Did I hear that right?
Has anyone stopped to think ...who would have thought 10 years ago there would be Iraqi military sitting side by side with ours?????
Good point, Jewels. Who would have thought it 4 years ago, for that matter?
Ummmm, listen for yourself and let us know what you think. The lack of responses on the thread may be an omen.
Hello 7of9.
That way rough?
But then again, the Commander in Chief came through with flying colors and stood firm as always in support of our brave military.
And then there's the report that al Masri is dead and that the SUNNIs did it.
So all in all I think we end on the plus side. But I'm a hopeless optimist, you know. :)
WHERE DOES THE PRESIDENT GET HIS ENERGY — I want some!!!
just a nobody:

THE PRESIDENT VETOES THE DEMONCRATS ‘SURRENDER’ BILL!
In both comment and deed, the President made us all proud with his courageous, inspiring veto of the ‘SURRENDER’ bill:
“Our troops and their families deserve better, and their elected leaders can do better,” Bush said.
“Whatever our differences, surely we can agree that our troops are worthy of this funding and that we have a responsibility to get it to them without further delay,” the president said.
Bush signed the veto with a pen given to him by Robert Derga, the father of Marine Corps Reserve Cpl. Dustin Derga, who was killed in Iraq on May 8, 2005. The elder Derga spoke with Bush two weeks ago at a meeting the president had with military families at the White House.
Derga asked Bush to promise to use the pen in his veto. On Tuesday, Derga contacted the White House to remind Bush to use the pen, and so he did. The 24-year-old Dustin Derga served with Lima Company, 3rd Battalion 25th Marines from Columbus, Ohio. The five-year Marine reservist and fire team leader was killed by an armor-piercing round in Anbar Province.

BTW: DIDN’T YOU JUST LOVE FIRST COUPLE’S APPEARANCE ON AMERICAN IDOL TONIGHT?! . . . THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE — fun, affectionate, and inspiring!!!
You assumed correctly!!!
Yes, there was other good news, but I didn't have much time for it today.
I forget...why aren't War Bonds an option?
Howdy snugs ... I think I'm right that there's a TOU (toaster owe you (me);) .. from probably about a month ago. If I'm wrong .. I apologize; but, if I'm right .. I would LOVE this pic on a giant plasma TV, when you have time.
Hey, all .. the pooches were out waiting for Dad to come home today.
Yes, I will listen later. Must walk the dogs. Priorities firmly in order.
