Bush is going to veto the military appropriations bill.
The Iraqis don’t like it.
…the president objects to a section in the National Defense Authorization Act that would permit plaintiffs’ lawyers to freeze Iraqi funds and expose Iraq to “massive liability in lawsuits concerning the misdeeds of the Saddam Hussein regime.” At least one pending lawsuit reportedly seeks $1 billion or more.
Wait a minute. This bill was essential or civilians would be laid off and our troops would be stranded without so much as a crust of bread to sustain them.
Of course, Dems caved. If they can’t make a clear case from this action that Bush only supports the troops when it is convenient, then they are well and truly hopeless.
