House Defeats Bill Calling for Quick Departure From Iraq

May 10: President Bush speaks at the Pentagon after meeting with military officials.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans defeated a preliminary measure that would have required troops to begin withdrawing from Iraq within 90 days, but a vote on a broader war funding measure was still set for later Thursday.

The measure that was defeated was a bill sponsored by Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., a member of the “Out of Iraq” caucus of progressive Democrats. The bill called for pulling out U.S. troops within 90 days and completing the withdrawal within six months. The measure failed by a heavily partisan vote of 255-171.

The broader piece of legislation still awaiting a vote would provide the military $42.8 billion to keep operations going for two-and-a-half more months, buy new equipment and train Iraqi and Afghan security forces. Congress would decide shortly before its August recess whether to release an additional $52.8 billion to fund the war through September.

The House bill faces Republican opposition and lacks support in the Senate.

The Leftinistra are hell-bent on killing us all…we need to strike first.

It seems one of the Leftinistra which was whining about Democratic Socialism got beat up too much for comfort so it tagged this post as offensive. Oh well. Here it is AGAIN!! The comments are history but that is OK. We know what they were saying. Our attention spans are not short, like theirs are.

This is what America is all about. Not reid. Not hillary. Not murtha. Not biden. Not CONgress. Not a political party. It is something indescribable. It is a gut feeling. It is something the Leftinistra cannot accept.

There is a copyright deal on the web site so y’all will have to go there to read the article.

UPDATE: The trolls won’t like this either.

And The Leftinistra Cannot Get Around It

All their whining rhetoric isn’t working this time either. They are defeatists and their end has come.

WASHINGTON — President Bush vetoed legislation to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq Tuesday night in a historic showdown with Congress over whether the unpopular and costly war should end or escalate.

It was a day of high political drama, falling on the fourth anniversary of Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” speech declaring that major combat operations had ended in Iraq.

In only the second veto of his presidency, Bush rejected legislation pushed by Democratic leaders that would require the first U.S. combat troops to be withdrawn by Oct. 1 with a goal of a complete pullout six months later.

“This is a prescription for chaos and confusion and we must not impose it on our troops,” Bush said in a nationally broadcast statement from the White House. He said the bill would “mandate a rigid and artificial deadline” for troop pullouts, and “it makes no sense to tell the enemy when you plan to start withdrawing.”
