I know you are a tad dense but Bush told them beforehand he would veto the bill if it included a withdrawal date because hes not a moron like the democrats that want to tell Al Quaeda when we will wave the white flag and surrender.
Democrats didn't give a fuck so they sent the bill to him that way anyway knowing it would be vetoed and cost american lifes. But hey, as long as they have ammo to get elected, what the fuck do they care about american lifes.
Anyone wanting to tell the enemy a specific date that they win the war is an absolute moron.
Dude, guess what - the terrorists are already delivering us the deadliest month on record - they don't give a shit about calendars.
And do you think it's gonna be REALLY that hard for them to know when we leave?
Face it - Bush has his vietnam, which is exactly what the corporations and his party wanted. They got it. They're not gonna end it. They're not even gonna look at a suggestion to end it. "The enemy" as you put it, is 2500 pricks that our 160,000 men haven't been able to kill in 4 years. If you ask me, you should stop looking at how to stretch this war another 2 years, and mayb look at how to kill those 2500 pricks. Of course, if you'd prefer to settle for mediocrity, then by all means, stay the course buddy!
