WASHINGTON (AP) — For President Bush, it's not a question of whether he will veto a congressional measure calling for withdrawing troops from Iraq, but rather when he will do it.

That would force the democratically controlled Congress to revisit the dilemma of how to give troops in the field the money they need while satisfying opponents of the war who want U.S. involvement ended.

Bush on Monday repeated his intention to veto the $124.2 billion measure, citing the withdrawal language as well as funding for non-military projects. Although he said he wanted to work with Democrats, he made clear he wasn't giving in on the question of setting a timetable for withdrawal.

"I'm optimistic we can get something done in a positive way," Bush said.

If congress has any courage, they'll send it right back to him with a few inconsequential changes and if he continues to refuse to fund the soldiers, we should move for immediate impeachment.
