| | | Blog Entry | Five ideasWhat people should be talking aboutBy Dwayne Mamo April 29, 2007 | 12:00 a.m. CST[1] EXIT STRATEGYPresident Bush has vowed to veto a Senate proposal passed Thursday that would require American troops to begin leaving Iraq by Oct. 1.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the legislation is “in keeping with what the American people want.” However, the White House immediately labeled supporters of the bill as defeatist and announced that the measure “is dead before arrival” on the president’s desk. Indeed, members of both parties are already starting work on a new bill. Thursday’s legislation passed 51-46 along largely party lines, suggesting that Democrats do not have the two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto.Meanwhile, the troop “surge” that Bush authorized three months ago has led to improvements in Baghdad and the Anbar province, said Gen. David Petraeus, U.S. military commander in Iraq.Thursday’s vote came almost four years after

Though, they're smack in the middle of Country music USA,
