The Senate has just passed a funding bill with the withdrawal time line... Bush says he will veto it... who is cutting off the funding to the troops? Bush or Congress? -------------------- Don't envy the happiness of those who live in a fool's paradise.

OK Hannibull, i don't know how aware you are of US political machinations.. simply put? it now becomes an argument between Bush and Congress on who is actually cutting the funding... the funding is right there for Bush to use, but he has to "do what Congress says" to get it... -------------------- Don't envy the happiness of those who live in a fool's paradise.

Bush is cutting the funding. It's just whether the public will buy his argument about the timeline, and if he even cares what anyone thinks any more (which he doesn't). -------------------- "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Clinton was impeached and stayed in office. That would be a start... -------------------- "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Generally speaking I prefer Bush to Dick. But in this case I might be willing to put up with a year of Dick to get rid of the Bush. How much more could he screw up without a huge backlash in his face? Hell, we all know he's the mastermind behind a lot of the ploys that have plagued the Bush presidency. Let's see him try to pull that off when he is sitting in the captains chair. Could be a two peach pie before it's all said and done. -------------------- No longer eligible for government service due to lack of tax issues.
