President Shit for Brains just doesn’t get it…..and he’s never going to. I was glad to hear the democrats say they would not remove the timelines from the funding bill. I hope they stick to their guns! 233 killed in Iraq today. Admiral Fallon says this is it, if the Iraqis don’t step up to the plate, it’s over. Surge or no surge. This morning there were 700+ Iraqis killed this month, this afternoon, we’re up to 935. What doesn’t President Shit for Brains get about THE SURGE ISN’T WORKING!
From the International Herald Tribune:

WASHINGTON: President George W. Bush and Democratic leaders of Congress failed to reconcile key differences Wednesday over a disputed war-funding bill facing a promised veto because it mandates the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

Bush met with a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the Cabinet Room for about an hour. Democrats said afterward they would send the president legislation soon and held hopes that Bush would sign it. But the White House said that would not happen.

“It appears that they are determined to send a bill to the president that he won’t accept,” White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. “They fundamentally disagree.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tried to pressure Bush to sign the legislation. “We believe he must search his soul, his conscience and find out what is the right thing for the American people,” Reid said, standing outside the White House. “I believe signing this bill will do that.”

“It gives the troops more than he’s asked for and leaves the troops there for considerable periods of time with some goals and benchmarks that have been called for by the American people, the Iraq Study Group and many, many military,” Reid said.
