BS.

Bush should have vetoed the omnibus appropriations bill instead.

Whiny Assed Liberals! OUT OF THE GENE POOL!

I love it when Harry’s eyes cross and spittle flies out of his mouth.

[GreyFriar]

Gee, maybe this means that all those useless DoD civilian employees will get furloughed after all.

Subsequently, the government of Iraq raised objections to Section 1083, in which Congress strengthened the ability of victims of the brutality of Saddam Hussein to seek compensation

Wonder why this was inserted to begin with?

So Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can play the political demagoguery game?

[fish hawk]

Pelosi and Reid?? I’ve heard of them but have not seen them since the surge worked. Are they still around?

[Digger]

Wasn’t this bill the one that shut down monies the security fence?

[onedoug]

Pelosi is a Traitor by the Constitution by having visited Syria and meeting with Assad who are dirctly responsible for deaths and injuries to United States forces in Iraq.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Would now be a good time for Bush to ask for the Line Item Veto Back?

[Right Cal Gal]

It’s very simple, Pelousy - REMOVE the offending section and resubmit it. But of course, that would be counter-productive to your inserting it in the first place.

I always love this two-faced tap dance. Load a bill with unrelated pork, earmarks and provisions that the President has promised he will veto, then call the whaaaambulance when he does.

What does Defense Authorization have to do with civil lawsuits anyway, Pelousy?

You're kidding... Right?

[Polyxene]

I thought Bela and Squint and all of the other congresscritters split DC and were on their Federal Hanaramakwansmas Break.

[Right Cal Gal]

Bush can’t have a line item veto, alas, without amending the Constitution.

Gotta toss a fish to the Dem trial lawyers constituency

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

LOL!

Yeah. :o)

Best laugh of the day was your reply.

[nothingnew]

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid issued the following statement..."...it appears that President Bush plans to veto this legislation, which is crucial to our armed forces and their families."........"The American people will have every right to be disappointed if the President vetoes this legislation, needlessly delaying implementation of the troops' pay raise, the Wounded Warriors Act and other critical measures."

I do not say this lightly. I hate these two faced lying people.
