Next time, do your own research, please.

Here's the link.
Apparently, he doesn't support the troops after all.
"The administration should have raised its objections earlier, when this issue could have been addressed without a veto," Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in a joint statement. "The American people will have every right to be disappointed if the president vetoes this legislation, needlessly delaying implementation of the troops' pay raise, the Wounded Warriors Act and other critical measures.

Congratulations. You found the article it's just a shame you didn't bother to read it. The reason Bush is against that provision is that Iraq will pull their 25 billion dollars worth of investments from our banks. During this time when banks are taking huge write-offs 25 billion could be disastrous. But then again you probably do understand that. As a neolib you just go out of your way to find a reason to hate Bush. Truth be damned.

Iraq is his baby and he is consumed by it and only it. Nothing else matters to him. Anything that even hints of getting in the way of his precious war will be vetoed no matter what it is for or how many Americans want it.

Shows were Bush's loyalties lie. If America is attacked again, he should be tried for treason.

Well if we make it impossible for Iraq to function we will probably never be able to get out.

I believe that he has a right to do it, although I do disagree with him. Nevertheless, congress should be able to muster up enough votes to override the veto.

Like most libs you present yourself to be ignoreant to the facts or choose to ignor them. Facts only prove libs wrong on every forefront.
