Veto leaves Iraq strategy uncertain
What happens next? I predict Democrats pass a temporary funding bill for 60 to 90 days with no time frames.
Politico-President Bush capped a day of elaborate political stagecraft by vetoing a $124 billion wartime spending bill Tuesday — a widely anticipated move that sends Congress and the White House back to the negotiating table with no clear path in sight for compromise.
Bush rejected the measure within hours of an unusual Capitol ceremony by Democratic congressional leaders marking the formal bill sendoff to the White House.
Worst case scenario…Bush meets with congressional cowards and reaches a compromise (remember Bush 41). Grab your wallets, tax increase agreed to by Bush in exchange for funding for the war sans the timelines…you read it here first.
“Out now!” doesn’t seem all that uncertain of a strategy to me.
Neither does “Impeach Cheney. Impeach Bush. Do it now!”
