No Surprise....Veto Stands
It didn't take a fortune teller to predict that the US House would fail in an attempt to override President Bush's veto of the Iraq supplemental spending bill.
Today, the US House fell short of the two-thirds majority needed for a veto override by a vote of 222-203.
As we've explained in previous posts, the Democratic leadership in the US Congress knew all along that President Bush would veto any legislation that would publicly announce to the world (terrorists included) when troops would be removed from Iraq.
So....how did Congressman Ellsworth vote? Again, no surprise.
After several weeks of claiming to oppose the "troop withdrawl" language in the Iraq supplemental spending bill, Ellsworth once again voted to support it by voting "yea" today to override the veto. I'm sure the troops he met with last month in Iraq are pleased to know that Ellsworth didn't listen to them either..
For the last time, common sense says....."Don't tell your enemy when you are quitting!"
