What I have read has made it very clear it does have a timeline. You sound like a petulant child. breitbart.com House and Senate Democratic appropriators agreed Monday on a $124 billion bill that would fund the Iraq war but order troops to begin leaving by Oct. 1 with the goal of completing the pullout six months later. Democrats would need a two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto. thehill.com The $124 billion supplemental is likely to come to the floor tomorrow in the House and Thursday in the Senate. The conference report uses House language requiring Bush to formally announce “waivers” when he’s deploying troops that do not meet readiness standards. Also included are $3 billion for base realignment and closure, $2 billion for veterans’ healthcare, nearly $7 billion for Gulf Coast recovery and $650 million for state children’s health insurance programs. The conference report would require Bush to certify by July that the Iraqi government is making progress or begin a withdrawal. Even if he can certify Iraqi progress, it would call on troops to begin redeployment by October of this year. House Republicans made clear that whatever compromises Democrats may claim to have made, Bush will still veto the bill. “We all know this bill is going nowhere fast,” said Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.), the top Republican on Appropriations.
