know, Democrats in both houses of Congress passed legislation that ties
further funding of the war in Iraq to targeted dates for withdrawal of
combat troops from Iraq. Bush says he will veto any measure that sets such a
timetable because he believes it would tie the hands of battlefield
commanders and make defeat in Iraq more likely. Do you think that Bush
should sign a funding authorization that includes a timetable for
withdrawal, or should he veto that legislation?" |
