CNN) -- White House press secretary Tony Snow wasted no time jumping into the political fray on his first day back on the job Monday.
An absence of five weeks after undergoing cancer surgery didn't mean forgetting any of the White House talking points.
Asked what President Bush will do with Democratic legislation that calls for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq to begin in October, Snow said, "He vetoes it. Democrats will have made their political point. Now they can do their job." (The battle between the president and Congress over Iraq)
Snow called for a "clean bill" that does not impose "artificial timelines" or benchmarks.
"The problem with benchmarks at least as it's described is something where it doesn't even matter if there is progress, it doesn't matter if there is success," he told CNN's "American Morning." (Watch Snow's interview with CNN's John Roberts )
On the subject of benchmarks, Snow said, "The Democratic Party hasn't even made its own for legislation this year."

Tony made the BEST point of all re: benchmarks/timelines in the supplemental...
Our Congress doesn’t even meet their own....so, there is NO WAY they can legislate HERE for another country...LOL
