Bush will veto anti-torture law |
|
Edited on Sun Oct-09-05 10:14 PM by ck4829
Why don't all the stories that say "Bush will veto anti-torture law" say "Bush will veto bill that gives more money to soldiers" instead?
Because when Bush will veto this anti-torture bill, he will also be vetoing the increased provisions for soldiers too.

1. They are accurately pointing out his main motive, which is to feed |
|
his torture fetish. Taking food from the mouths of soldiers' babies is just a nice bonus.

2. Probably because the troops "love" him. |
|
They will accept anything that creep does...anything.

3. Here's the headline I want to see: |
|
'BUSH TO VETO LAW GRANTING MORE FUNDING FOR SOLDIERS BECAUSE IT PROHIBITS TORTURE."
How on earth can anybody justify that?

4. The Chimp hasnt vetoed anything yet has he? |
|
Of course, it helps that Repukes control all branches of government, making it unnecessary for him to do so.

6. I thought that he couldn't veto |
|
because it passed the Senate by like 90-10, or something.
Did he get more votes in the House? I know they were trying franctically to bully Reps in to voting against the amendment so Bush can veto it.
