Do you think Bush should veto the bill Congress passed giving the troops money?

Question

The bill comes with strings attached, like getting the troops out by 2008. If we leave too early, would us being there have been pointless? Is it better to cut our losses, or finish what we started?

Answer 1

As a Soldier, Yes, he should veto it.

Democrats need to understand that the job in Iraq is too important to just back out of. What they are doing is manuvering for a White House seat, nothing more.

If Congress pushes forward with this bill, it proves to me that every congressman that voted to pull out cares nothing for the Soldiers. They know the mission is important, they know the President will veto it and they know the troops need the money, but they are going to withold that money just to try and get their way in the House.

They should be ashamed.

Answer 2

first ingredient he's loopy moron. He would not care about the troops he stated this warfare will be his legend. He wouldn't have a legend except the sorriest no solid person that ever set interior the Oval place of work. He has sufficient funds for the troops till July , their claiming their borrowing from different debts. Get that lost stolen funds that disappeared from web site. he's a sadistic guy a detrimental guy only as risky as any psychological convict in detention center. he's score is 22 , he stated he did not care about his score he couldn't run again besides. He needs that money because is funds hungry , he needs to take some funds and help New Orleans and the human beings in u . s . that are straving, convey our troops residing house, enable Iraq protect their personal u . s .. they have had lengthy sufficient to coach , yet see you later because the troops strive against for them they opt for even attempt to strive against for his or her u . s ..

Answer 3

The American people should Veto the fact that in order for those kids in that desert to get the funding they need we have to support every goddamn Senator's pet project. It is a travesty that that bill is packaged the way it is and then sent to our President for him to have to say no to. This is the state of our political system and it is a joke, its a game of Shoots and Ladders with these grownup children. Every American should, according to our Constitution, walk up Capitol Hill and shoot a Senator in the face. These people have hijacked our nation and play games with our troops to get themselves reelected.

Woah, hows that for a rant? Sorry I just couldn't stop typing.

Answer 4

The vast majority of bills presented to every governing body had "additives" in it. If you check the propositions in your own hometown, I will guarantee that none of them are "fat free."

With that said, I would ask you to consider what the point of us being there to begin with was. If you find yourself at a loss for specifics, as I think most Americans are, then we should leave.

I don't think that withdrawing our troops means cutting our purse strings with Iraq. We will be involved in that region indefinitely. But at some point, the Iraqis and the U.S. need to be held accountable. If the Iraqi's know the U.S. will be leaving, perhaps they can stop bickering amongst themselves about their own governing laws.

I, for one, would prefer to bring the troops home to protect the homeland when events like Katrina strike, rather than having them in a foreign land protecting....?

Answer 5

Without a doubt he should veto it. Our powers to be drum up some fat filled bill and then scream the balls in your court. They can only try to make themselves look good by trying to make others look bad. If they were as good as they seem to think they are, they would offer a bill that could survive on it's own merits. The dems need to quit using our Troops as political pawns, it is outrageous.

God Bless America and our Troops.

Answer 6

I see people talking of an "unstable Iraq because of Bush", I don't understand how you can say that when Iraq was SO unstable before we arrived to rid them of terrorism and introduce democracy to them. But in answering your question, I find it as a bunch of crap that they can do that. All bills should honestly be single so nothing like this happens. Democrats are working like a bunch of snakes and it is unfair to the people of Iraq after we have pledged we will help them to set a "deadline". The only deadline I see if when the job is finished.

Answer 7

Its more than just the troops leaving there is just tons of pork in this bill. Tell me what the war has to do with cab-age growers?? Now if the bill was based solely on the war I dont think it would get the Veto. However as it stands now it has to get the Veto its nuts!!!

Answer 8

I think both Bush aand Congress are playing a dangerous game right now. Egos are so bloated in Washington, that they are putting the very lives of our soldiers in limbo because neither wants to budge.

1. How can a war have a deadline? It can't. If this isn't a war, but some sort of rebuilding or peace-keeping mission, then yes, let there be a deadline. But everyone is calling this the Iraq 'war'. You can't put a deadline on a war.

2. Both of these sides, need to get their heads out of their partisan butt holes and view the situation from a logical perspective. Either we pull out, and let all those terrorists kill themselves (which wouldn't matter to me one way or another), or we continue to go after those who bomb markets and other places until Iraq is stable.

Either way, our troops need our moral and financial support as long as they are over there.

Answer 9

Hmmmmm

Foreign policy comes first - America comes second

Iraq - $450 Billion+ American Tax Dollars for rebuilding

New Orleans - $? American tax dollars for rebuilding

5 wasted years creating a failed unwanted democracy in Iraq

A "War on Terror" that hasn't been fought since entering Iraq

There were NO terrorists in Iraq until Bush invaded and occupied. They got Saddam so why are we keeping our troops there in the middle of their civil war. Our troops are not referees! Bush has done nothing except attract every hater of the West by giving them U.S. troops as targets.

In fact, I would bet good money that its not extremist terrorists that are attacking our troops! I bet it is the very police and Iraqi brigades we trained and armed. They are turning on us because they are sick of being occupied. You people do know that their religion calls for them to fight and oppose any foreign occupation. Bush forces this issue of staying by staying!

What we need to do is leave, bring home our troops and put all this wasted rebuilding money into border security and screening foreign travelers before they enter our country. Especially foreign students. Think of all the National Security improvements that $400 billion could have paid for instead of sending it to Iraq!

It really is quite disgusting and insane!

Wake up people

Answer 10

I'm not sure cutting and running is the answer.

We really shouldn't have been in this mess in the first place though.

Congress gave Bush everything he wanted for many years now and they haven't done a damn thing. Iraq is down a dictator, but by no means are they better off now.

Probably wasn't the best idea to put the man in charge of the Vietnam War, in charge of this war. Rumsfeld is possibly the worst SoD in our history.
