Bush has vowed to veto the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Health and Iraq Accountability Act, passed by the House last week.
Cheney claims that "one can support the troops without giving them the tools and reinforcements they need to carry out their mission.", yet:
*The bill demands that the Bush Administration must meet military standards for troop readiness.
* The bill fully supports our troops and ensures they have the tools and resources they need to do the job they have been asked to do.
* The legislation prohibits the deployment of troops who are not “fully mission capable” as defined by the Department of Defense – in other words, troops who are fully trained, equipped and protected. This a reaffirmation of current Department of Defense standards.
So.. by vetoing the bill, the adminstration is denying the troops the resourses they need to adequately fight the war. Who are the troop haters now?

Yes, I'm aware of the pork that was attached to the bill. It is reprehensible, but something that BOTH parties do all the time. But simply bleating "pork" doesn't answer the question.

They do not hate them, to hate you have to care.
They simply view poor people (non millionaires) as resources to be used as they see fit.

Rant a lot? Republicans are actually not anti protection stress by means of any stretch of your mind's eye. Republicans have constantly supported our troops. that's the liberals who've continuously executed issues that harm the protection stress, the two short and long term. you do unlike faith, great. that's your determination and greater potential to you. yet how dare you belittle human beings for his or her perception's and allegedly pushing them on human beings once you're doing the top comparable element. particularly, loss of perception in God IS a perception gadget. in simple terms considering which you do not comprehend it as such isn't our challenge. So why do not YOU and your ilk shop your hands off MY government and MY protection stress. a protection stress I proudly served. and that i'll under no circumstances forget approximately the comprehensive hatred directed our way by means of the liberals.

You Left out all the Pork Projects the Democrats stuffed
into the Bill. The Only ones that hate the Troops are the Democrats, with their Slow Bleed Policy.

Bush doesn't care about the veterans. Then, he goes and accuse the Democrats of being traitors and not supporting our troops. How hypocritical.

Read the bill and you will see why it will be vetoed.
The dems pandered for votes by including a lot of items that have nothing to do with our troops.
Nice try.
