The Senate is going to pass a supplemental bill that also has a withdrawal timetable in it. That's amazing. I really can't believe the Dems got it done. Now, it remains to be seen what comes out of reconciliation and gets sent to Bush, but I suspect the dates may stay in.
Bush has said that Congress is failing the troops by not funding them. He says they are not funding them because they are sending him a bill he "cannot sign". That is simply not true. They are sending him a bill he will not sign. That's different. They are fully funding the troops (and are in fact giving them more money than he asked for). It will be Bush who puts the funding in jeapordy by choosing not to sign the bill Congress has sent.
That's the choice that underlies all the coming rhetoric.
