Democrats weigh post-veto Iraq options
Huffington Post
Excerpt
The options are being weighed as Bush and Congress head toward a showdown this week on his Iraq policy. House and Senate appropriations committees meet Monday to negotiate a final bill that, if approved by both chambers, could reach the president’s desk as early as the end of the week…
Rep. John Murtha (news, bio, voting record), D-Pa., who chairs the House panel that oversees military funding, said he wants a bill that would fund the war for just two or three months. Before that second bill would expire in summer, Democrats would try again to pass legislation calling for an end to combat.
Bush has said the military needs more than $90 billion through September, most of which would finance combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Murtha’s proposal would give Democrats time to try to rally support among Republicans growing increasingly frustrated with the war who have so far been reluctant to tie the hands of their GOP president.
The tact also would attract party liberals in the House who don’t want to fund the war at all.

Right the Democrats set that bill up to were if Bush vetos it because of the withdraw time in it he stops funding for the troops. And the Democrats say they care about the troops. Right. They don’t care about the troops one bit they just want “their” power back and Bush isn’t giving it back. That’s fine because the Democrats just showed their true colors in regards to the troops and this country. They don’t care about either one. Like Harry Reid saying that we have lost the war. That is real good for the troops. Not to mention that if they cared about the troops than they wouldn’t be telling the world about when we were getting out. That puts that many more troops in danger. Right the Democrats care about the troops. NOT
