Now if he vetoes it, it will be his fault that the troops don’t have the funding they need. But the real question is WILL Bush actually veto it, or will he find some cowardly way to weasel his way out. Perhaps he can make a signing statement saying he doesn’t have to follow the bill and can selectively pick and chose what he does. Bush is a coward or else he wouldn’t feel the need to constantly run to the media to make threats…he’d make them face to face with congress/senate. He needs those loud threats to feel manly without being questioned. He uses those loud threats to make others back down without ever challenging him.
I would be surprised if Bush flat out vetos this bill and even if he does find the balls to stand by his own convictions, then congress should just pass him an ever more strict bill. They need to show the idiot media that it is Bush being unreasonable and partisan. Something the media still hasn’t gotten yet.
