Bush,Democrats to Meet Today on Iraq

President Bush meets today with Democrats and Republicans from Congress to work on an Iraq funding measure both sides can accept.

Bush's veto of an Iraq spending bill that set time-table for U.S. troop withdraws puts new pressure on Democrats in congress to draft a compromise.

The party's most liberal members especially in the House, say they will vote against any money for continuing the war if there is no binding language on troop withdraw. Folks, you would have thought the liberals would have learned after the President vetoed their legislation. This is how liberals think. They have no logic inside of themselves at all. Everything they try to do basically backfires, or makes things worse.

President Bush has said it would cause chaos to have a time-table for troop withdrawal. It would also cause confusion among the troops. It makes no sense to tell the enemy of our plans in advance.

This standoff gives the Republicans leverage. Democrats do not have enough votes. to override the veto, and it may force Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to seek Republican help in drafting a new bill the President might accept. The Democrats as always are going to put a time-table in the new bill. Bush again in my opinion will veto it if they do. Again the liberal Democrats seek to undermine this President any way they can. It seems they are to ignorant to see that they are the cause of all the problems. Another fine example of liberals playing politics and caring about themselves and no one else.
