Bush Vows To Veto Iraq Funding Legislation
Posted March 24th, 2007 by Dinka
His statement came shortly after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impose a deadline of the end of August 2008 for withdrawing all U.S. combat forces from Iraq.
The Democrats, who control the House, succeeded in a 218-212 vote to attach the deadline to legislation authorizing more than $124 billion in funds for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Bush today described the bill as "an act of political theater" that has "no chance of becoming law." He said he will veto if it reaches his desk.
