CNN's McIntyre: Bush "can't sign" war funding bill Congress sent him

On the April 30 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, reporting on how the standoff over Iraq war funding could possibly delay the purchase of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) armored vehicles, CNN senior Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre said: "And so, while the Democrats send the president a bill he can't sign, and the president holds out for one with no timelines, the Army and the Marines have to get by with the 1,000 vehicles they have now, not the 6,000 more they're still waiting for." McIntyre's construction -- that President Bush "can't sign" the war funding bill -- echoes the White House's position on the bill. Congress passed a bill that provides $124 billion in funding and requires that the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq begin by October 2007. Bush could sign the bill and fund the war, including the supply of MRAP vehicles, but instead he has vowed to veto it.

4. He can sign it.
But some of the soldiers who have returned from the chimp's illegal an immoral war are missing arms and hands or have permanent brain damage--they will never be able to sign their names to anything again.

"Can't sign..." :nuke:

5. All that librul bias on CNN!
When Dubya does veto, tighten the restrictions. Each time he vetoes, send him something more restrictive.

Of course, if the Dems in Congress had it together, they would send him no continuing funding at all -- only funding for, and an ironclad mandate to, bring the troops home.

7. So the coward in the white house is at it again
He is the most yellow lily livered coward this country has ever seen. He won't sign a bill which is funding the troops, but setting up a time line to withdraw the troops IS supporting the troops.

Then he is going on TV and telling the country, who by the way WANT TO WITHDRAW the troops from Iraq, that it is the democrats that are not funding the troops.

Again he shows his stupidity..who in the hell, except the 28% that have their heads so far up his butt, they can't even smell much less reason, would believe him....
\
If the MSM had any character at all and had not sold their souls to the republican party they would be all over this grandstand play by bush. They would be telling the country what an absolute stubborn idiot he is. A man who has failed and failed miserably at every single thing he has ever done in his life is putting this country and the lives of innocent Iraqi and most of all our military at rest so he can finally WIN at something...anything just so he can be perceived to be a winner. He is the worst president this country has ever seen the worst person this country has ever seen. He is a traitor and should be treated as such.
