Edwards clamored to Congress today demanded that Congress stand firm to a timetable to bring troops back from Iraq. Even under Bush's threat of a veto, Congress must continue to stand and demand a timetable. He stated "If he vetoes it and if we don't have enough votes to override the veto, then we need to submit another bill to him with a timetable for withdrawal and continue to do that until he's forced to start withdrawing troops from Iraq".
Reading this article, I couldn't agree with him more, there needs to be time when we will send our soldiers back. There is an obvious dislike for the war, support has decreased ever year since it started and will continue to decrease until we are out. Even under the threat of a veto, still stand firm. Either that or there must be a compromise between the Democrats and Republicans. It is clear where Edwards stands on the funding bill and the troops, its hard to tell how the other candidates will approach this matter.
