Bush, in furtherance of his idiocy, vetoed the spending bill for Iraq.

Bush, in furtherance of his idiocy, vetoed the spending bill for Iraq.

What I want to know is WHY can't people (Republicans, in general) acknowledge that Iraq is getting WORSE not better?

1. If Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11 (which is a FACT!), WHY is setting a time-table for withdrawal considered conceding to Al Queda?
2. WHY, after FIVE YEARS, are there not enough Iraqi soldiers to police their own country? Was not part of the "mission" to help them help themselves?
3. If five years is not sufficient time to help the Iraqi's gain control, WHY was Congress, as well as the American people, not informed of the long-term requirement? Is it because they KNEW it would not have been approved?
4. How can Bush question the constitutionality of a legislative action regarding a time-table for withdrawal when an express power of Congress is the power to declare war?
5. WHY cannot people (mainly Republicans) acknowledge that Iraq is getting WORSE not better?
