Tom,
How do we know when the job is done? Take Bush's word for it? If that were the case, the mission was accomplished a couple of years ago. Its has never been explained. Bushbots are always screaming about defeat but Bush's policies have made that pretty much inevitable.

I do not believe in the time line in the bill - I believe the President was responsible to tell us the truth in the beginning when he lied about everything. The troops should have been withdrawn at least two years ago probably four. I think the time line is a total waste and he should begin the pull out now and not increase the force.
We now keep hearing the bull about the improvement of the Iraq participation in this mess. We should get out as fast as we can move the troops and we should stop sending anyone over there!
It is still the President's problem because the Congress has given him a bill that provides the money but does not demand the immediate pull out of the troops. If his plan for the surge was any good the time line should be no problem for him. However, he lied again and we only will be deeper in the mess by the end of the time line in the current bill. We already lost!

The Bill requires a timeline for the troops to return which will ensure defeat! I know that is what you and the democrats want but they can't leave until the job is done!

"The bottom line is this: Congress's failure to fund our troops on the front lines will mean that some of our military families could wait longer for their loved ones to return from the front lines, and others could see their loved ones headed back to the war sooner than they need to," Bush said.
What am I missing? Congress has passed a law to fund the war but the President is gong to veto it and delay funding. The President is the source of the problem, not Congress. Likewise, if the Congress does not override the Presidents veto then it is the Republicans that are holding up funding and not "Congress" as the President would have everyone believe.
The bill is there and the President only has to sign it to have the proper funding and avoid deployments of longer duration.
