I think this is what the biggest point of the bill *SHOULD* be, but the dems certainly haven't helped their cause with it. I understand that attaching pork to the bill was the only way they could get the tacit approval from certain Senators, but the effect of passing a clean bill with the goals you've already outlined would have been fivefold greater than the bill they have now. And the timetable... well, regardless of how I feel about Iraq, the act of setting a timetable was a calculated political move to slap the President in the face. In all honesty, as much as I agree with the spirit of the bill, I can't fault the White House if they send it back to Congress. An overall shoddy bill that had a lot of promise. |
