Bush's second veto ever...
Tuesday, on the fourth anniversary of "Mission Accomplished," Bush - the "commander guy" - vetoed the Iraq Accountability Act (also known as this year's war supplemental bill) because it contained a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq.
In the neo-con irony department: Bush called for a timetable when Clinton sent troops to Kosovo, saying, "Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is," and "I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn." Interesting... timetables and exit strategies are important when there is a Democratic president, but are treason when there is a Republican president. Hmm...
Also on the hypocrisy watch, Bush spouted a line yesterday that was eerily similar to something said by... JOHN KERRY! "...[T]he definition of success as I described is sectarian violence down. Success is not, no violence. There are parts of our own country that have got a certain level of violence to it. But success is a level of violence where the people feel comfortable about living their daily lives." Wow, that sounds a lot like the whole "reduce terrorism to a nuisance" thing that Kerry said in 2004. I wonder when the neo-cons will come down on Bush for pandering to the terrorists, or being a flip-flopper, eh?
Extra hypocrisy: On Monday, Tony Snow said "Bush had never linked Saddam to 9/11." That's funny: Yesterday, Bush said that, "For America, the decision we face in Iraq is not whether we ought to take sides in a civil war, it's whether we stay in the fight against the same international terrorist network that attacked us on 9/11."
Our murderer-in-chief spoke about his veto Tuesday evening. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Jim Webb respond to our degenerate scumbag president.
Retired Generals Batiste and Eaton believe the president has failed us with his veto. Preach on, brothers! Bush doesn't listen to the troops, unless they are telling him exactly what he wants to hear.
ThinkProgress shows, by the numbers, how the mission was not-so-accomplished, at least from the perspective of what the American people expected from it. Dana Perino tried to deny that Bush ever claimed that the mission was accomplished, but she's caught in a lie.
In other news regarding accomplishment of the mission, the war will soon cost us $500 billion, and all we've gotten out of the Bush "surge" is a second "surge" - but this one is a surge of terrorists (see bottom of article)!!!
