QUOTE OF THE DAY
Press Conference by the President
Rose Garden

Today, Congress will vote on legislation that provides our troops with the funds they need. It makes clear that our Iraqi partners must demonstrate progress on security and reconciliation. My administration and members of Congress from both parties have had many meetings to work out our differences on this legislation. pAs a result, we removed the arbitrary timetables for withdrawal and the restrictions on our military commanders that some in Congress have supported.

We were also successful in removing billions in unrelated domestic spending that many of the Democrats were insisting on. I wanted to remove even more; but, still, by voting for this bill members of both parties can show our troops and the Iraqis and the enemy that our country will support our servicemen and women in harm's way.

As it provides vital funds for our troops, this bill also reflects a consensus that the Iraqi government needs to show real progress in return for America's continued support and sacrifice. The Iraqi Study Group -- the Iraq Study Group recommended that we hold the Iraqi government to the series of benchmarks for improved security, political reconciliation and governance that the Iraqis have set for themselves. I agree, so does the Congress, and the bill reflects that recommendation.

Great day for our President. He scored a big victory in Congress when the war funding bill passed both chambers and without any surrender date. It is also a great victory for our brave troops and for America. This day is a crushing defeat for the islamic terrorists, as well as the defeatists and traitors in our midst.
