| Stop Playing The Blame Game With Our Troops Lives dammit! Just sign the bill and then spend time calling names and work the politics to get different legislation to ammend it afterwards. It's virtually on your desk, stop grand-standing. This is about real people. I've never been quite this angry about the behaviour of a group of supposedly education people in a long while, if ever!!! As of now, it's in your court, sign it. For whatever reasons prior to this the bill has been passed in congress, it's your move. If you veto it and send it back, it's YOU, Mr Bush, who will waste time in getting the money to the troops. The process up to now was pretty quick getting it to you. Stop talking and act.

Bush Derides Iraq War Measure
He Says Democrats Will Be Blamed if Funds Are Held UpBy Shailagh Murray and Jonathan Weisman
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, March 29, 2007; A01 In his most combative comments yet, President Bush mocked Democratic lawmakers yesterday for including a deadline for troop withdrawals and "pork" projects in an Iraq spending bill, declaring that "the American people will know who to hold responsible" if funding for the war stalls. Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) shot back that Bush's vow to veto the spending bill carries its own cost. In a joint letter, they warned him against following "a political strategy that would needlessly delay funding for our troops." "Calm down with the threats. There is a new Congress in town," Pelosi said at a Capitol Hill news conference. "We respect your constitutional role. We want you to respect ours." As the two sides jabbed at each other, the Senate hurried to complete its $122 billion war spending measure, with a final vote on the package expected today. Republicans were unable to strike language setting a March 31, 2008, goal for the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from Iraq, but GOP leaders decided not to block the legislation. Its approval is now considered a foregone conclusion.
