Just a few days ago, most of you might have heard this, but if you didn't hear or read this, the Democrats made a bill and a timeline that made the troops come home by a certain date and they want President Bush to sign it.
The only question I have for all those who read this:
Do you think that the President will sign the documents (or whatever it might be called) this week?
When answering this question, try to keep to your own opinions since I want to know everyone's opinion on this since everyone will get their 2 points just answering this. You will get a thumbs down if you make a remark about someone else's comment, so please stay with your own opinion. Thank you for reading this and answering it for me. God Bless America.

George Bush is going to do whatever the hell George Bush wants to do. He's proven this to the American people enough times already.
The fact that he's heartless enough to veto the Will of the People just shows how fooled we were in 2000 and 2004. Why did we elect this man? Why are we sitting here letting him take over this country. Why are we letting him waste American resources on a country that isn't America?
The point has been made clear enough. President Bush doesn't care about America. Congress, instead of Impeaching Cheney, should be working on Bush and Cheney. I mean, okay, Cheney shot someone in the face, but Bush ordered men into Iraq where a terrorist shot them in the face. Completely ignoring the select few in Congress who vetoed this war to begin with.
So, I close in saying that as a nation, we made a mistake at voting in a joke. That's what Bush is, a joke. A joke that's turning America and it's reputation and military into a joke. Ha... ha... ha...

He has already promised to veto any bill that contains a time-line (explicit or implied). There is no reason to suspect that he won't follow through on this promise.
Although I personally disagree with him I can see his side of the argument: You can't go telling people when you are pulling out or they will know exactly when they have to hold up 'till. It makes sense from a strategic standpoint I guess, but it goes against what I think America stands for: Openness and transparency of government.
It is important to keep in mind that even if all the troops come out there will still be about 100,000 'private military contractors' (aka mercenaries) in Iraq working for companies like Blackwater and Haliburton. There has been no mention of pulling these forces out in any bill to date.

Bush has already stated a great number of times he will veto the bill and all his actions up until now have proved it. He is supposed to veto it by I think Tuesday and Wednesday have a meeting with members of Congress over what to do next. But Bush hasn't budged on anything. I think that meeting won't make him change his mind or compromise on anything. He seems to want to change Congresses mind to follow whatever he does. But it is about time Bush starts listening to people and takes a different course with "his war".

Yes, I think he will veto it because as usual the Democrats have also put to much pork in it again, as he can not okay the whole thing, as some of it is not related to the war and troops, so if he will have no choice but to veto it because of the hidden agenda of other things besides what the Democrats are presenting to the public. Yes, he will veto it.

He has vowed to veto the bill and I think he will. Congress will then have to either over-ride the veto or submit an amended version that will probably get a veto as well.
If Bush does not veto the bill, he will use the now familiar "signing statement" to exclude the portions he disagrees with.

How biased of Bush to no longer veto one unmarried invoice for 6 years! communicate approximately crooked. additionally, Bush mentioned on t.v. as quickly as that he could sit down with the Democrats to attraction to up an agreeable invoice. Why hasn't he performed that yet? Is it b/c he says issues without following by using?

Whether or not you like Bush, I don't think he's lied, and I don't think he will about this. He will veto it.
And, for those of you who think he lied about WMDs in Iraq, he had the same information everyone else had.
And, before you assume I'm a Republican, I'm an independent.

At his peril.
I am also sure that, when Democrats start the vote to override his veto, many Republicans will jump ship.
Otherwise, they will have to face the wrath of the voting public in '08.
Bush is finished.

Yes. He is expected to veto it & given his history, there is no reason to think differently.
BTW: I don't give a **** about the points. They're worth nothing!
