If he vetoes it, they need to send it right back to him with one less piece of additional funding, like take out the storage for peanut farmers. Let him veto that. Just keep sending him new bill with slight alterations and let him continue to veto funding the troops. It will result in the republican party being decimated in the 2008 elections.
Congress can de-authorize the use of military force and that would not need any presidential signatures. But why do that when you can hang this illegal war over the republicans head in 2008. It will guarantee a permanent republican minority.

Absolutely. Congress has only to decline to deliver any funding bill at all, and the war ends, more-or-less immediately.
If Congress had more members in favor of the timetable, they could override the veto, and force the timetable on Bush.
Either way, though, that'd be taking responsibility for the war, which is something the Dems don't want to actually do - they want the consequences of the war, including it's loss, to rest squarely on the President, and by association, his party.

Bottom line: We didn't put together a good bill and Bush will veto it.
When we put together the bill we knew he would veto it and that we wouldn't be able to get the votes needed (2/3rds) to get it passed. Why did we bother wasting time and creating the bill in the first place? No idea, all we did was waste time and make ourselves look incompetent.
If we can't create a "coalition" in the House or Senate to get a bill passed to stop a war, how the hell is our party supposed to create a "coalition" with other governments who hate our way of life and want to kill us?

The cut and run crowd will have to wait and see if a Democrat is elected in 2008.
The Democrats need two-thirds to override a veto and they don't have the votes.

Why would you be able to veto anything?
Seriously, yes. If the Islamic Arabs (terrorists) lay down their arms, we will pull out within Bush's remaining term. But, don't hold your breath al-Sadr wants to be the next Hussein.

Dems have the majority in both houses of congress. They could stop all Iraq operations over night by defunding it immediately. They have votes, just not the courage.
