Without hesitation, President Vetoed the war spending bill today. He argued you cannot set a timetable for the terrorist. Then all they have to do is to just mark their calendars and wait for the United States to leave. As much as I am against the War, Bush makes perfect sense. However I do believe the goal of the bill was to prove a point, that congress was no longer going to sit around and allow the White House administration take command.
Has Senate Majority leader put it "Now he(Bush) has an obligation to explain his plan to responsibly end this war", that the ball was in his court. Bush has invited members of Congress to come and begin talks to compromise on a bill. However, I don't believe Bush will be swayed to put any type of timetable on any bills.
This is lardmark day for the Senate. Finally a new direction toward the issues in Iraq. Hopefully there will be some form of resolution in which we continue to support the troops but also to start bringing them home.
