Senate Vote on Spending Bill Sets Up Clash With Bush (Update2)
By Nicholas Johnston and Laura LitvanMarch 29 (Bloomberg) -- The Senate approved a spending measure with a timeline for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq, setting up a showdown with President George W. Bush, who has vowed to veto any congressional demands to end the war. The $122 billion emergency spending legislation funds military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and provides money for domestic needs such as relief to victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The proposal calls for U.S. troop withdrawals from Iraq to begin 120 days after final passage of the measure, with a goal of having most forces withdrawn by March 31, 2008. The Senate, during debate on the war-funding measure March 27, voted 50-48 to retain the withdrawal timeline. The entire measure was passed today 51-47.

The Decider isn't the Decider anymore! LOL That worked with the 109th rubber-stamping Congress but not with the 110th Congress! LMAO
As Pelosi told Bush yesterday... take a deep breath! LOL
We all know he's going to veto this bill. And this tell us what?
It provides every dollar he asked for and MORE for the TROOPS he LOVES so very very much!
It also puts all the Republicans who voted against it, as voting FOR the war and against the troops.
What a tangled web we weave....
s-q,
Well he said he would Veto it but then he sets himself up for a bad clash with the American people..
Plus the fact that it will roll back the timetable for the funding...
Let's see little Napoleon worm his way out of that!
Congress and US Citizens really have lil'abner on the ropes.. ;)
Congress members are getting flooded daily with calls from constituents who are opposed to the War and want it ended. GOP too!
I mean flooded!

GEF:
Basheert and I were just talking about all of the phone calls that we make to our favorite Senator... McCain! LOL
s-q,
Don't bother with McCain, he's going senile, he won't remember you calling him 5 minutes after hanging up..
You'll be spinning your wheels for nuthing!
McCain's gone!
Hee hee hee!
But, GEF, you don't know how much we enjoy it! We find great satisfaction in being the pests to the ole boy! LOL
Basheert:

Last comment for tonight. The disappeared YouTube Posts have reappeared. Looks like we've foiled the globalists yet again.
My new website which got 10 views when I set it up last Sunday, then none, then three, then five, has now got 153, making 171 in total, so I'm really pleased.
I have had about 1 comment on my blogsite and only a few profile views, so these are not indicative of the number of views your blogs get, so be encouraged, and keep blogging.
You just don't know what effect you're having!
s-q,
Ok, but just remember that he lives in Neverland now and not in the real world...
McCain screwed himself when he teamed up with Holy Joe and the Little Devil..
He'll be lucky to land a Job as a Walmart Greeter after his term is over.
Maybe he'll have to head back into his favorite alley where he gets drunk with his Hobo buddies who are also ex Senators..
Hee hee hee!
