while i support legitimate projects i'm sure there's pork in this bill on both sides. however i find it hard to justify gw's veto for 23 bil when iraq is at 2.4 trill for 10. i'm paying taxes to rebuild iraq and he wants to cry about internal pork. cut iraqi reconstruction funding by 23 bil and pass the damn thing,got the pun. at least i'll blow the money on jobs here and not wonder where it got lost in iraq.

There is nothing like Dubya blocking hurricane repair projects on the basis of them being too inflated/expensive. Inflated/expensive compared to what? Compared to Iraq? How about compared to all the people Katrina killed. Let’s be honest here - if the hurricane was in Iraq then Halliburton would have received $50bln to do the repairs.

So Dubya criticizes the Democrats for wasting time with silly bills, and then vetoes a bill even his slug-like brain knew was going to get overrode. Isn’t that a waste of time? Oh, but hypocrisy is definitely a STRENGTH of this administration. If you voted for him and don’t like how things are going for you – Karma.

Well, you're pretty good at sending other people out to deal with it. The current crowd is nothing but a bunch of draft dodging chicken hawk cowards.

"All democrats want to do is run in the face of battle."

That's how they got all those Bronze and Silvar Stars in Viet Nam - by being cowards while Cheney and Bush stayed here to be heroes.

"I wish we had an american public like that of World War 2. They understood the dangers of the world and supported their president during war."

Check the Congress and see how many Republicans actually served in the armed forces as opposed to the Democrats. What guts have the Republicans shown other than sending our young men and women into a country that NEVER attacked us, and even worse, sending our soldiers in without sufficient armor or the amount of soldiers needed. Now they don't even have the guts to admit we made a mistake and bring them out! I suppose you believe the public should have also supported the president during the VietNam war? Well, I'm sorry, but I like to think that Americans will not BLINDLY follow any President, just because he/she is president. I'd rather believe that Americans will do what they feel is right.

Actually plenty of people thought war with Iraq was unnecessary, unjustified, potentially destabilizing to the entire region, liable to take far longer than projected, and likely to cost $1T or more. Those people were ridiculed and reviled for being unrealistic, unpatriotic to the point of treason, soft on terrorism, and completely nuts. Now who's proven to be nuts? To say everyone thought this would be a walk in the park is pure revisionism.

(No knock on either Pat Tillman or Jessica Lynch - just people who skew statistics.) What are the Viet Nam and WWII statistics? Donald Rumsfeld, Gen. Tommy Franks, Paul Bremer and George Tenant all got Medals of Freedom from the "WOT!" Bush uses medals for political hush money.

The fact remains that Cheney and Bush hid from a war that Democratrs fought in, and you despicable skanks think the veterans are the corwads.

How deceitful do you need to be before you can feel good about being a BushCo automoton? You support a stain of a man. The sooner you admit it, the sooner you can start to regain some degree of self respect.

THIS JUST IN-
Bush said he would have never have vetoed this bill if they would have allowed a no bid contract for Halliburton to build all dams and BlackWater to protect them at 1Billion a year!

We do have the responsibility to look after the poor, and the weak, and the malnourished, and the outside home wrong doings. But if you do not fix your leaks on your own home, soon enough you won’t be able to look after others outside of your home. I think Bush (and Congress for that matter) should take care of in house major issues first. By saying in house major issues I mean thinking to prevent another $81.2 billion from another Katrina. Before restoring Iraq, we should direct the fund into preventing the worse from happening. I include Congress since the bill as a whole is not perfectly done and needs funds redistribution.

yeah but this victory took an entire YEAR for the dummycrats to actually do something. one override is not enough to call congress for doing a good job for here on out, and you call that wonderful? and what's this? democrats are siding with republicans on opposing nancy pelosi's bill to withdraw? what does that tell you about the surge? oh my, it appears to be showing effort. by the way, none of you mention that congress has a dismal percentage far below OUR AMERICAN PRESIDENT, yes i put it in caps, so leave him alone.

Now now all you whiney liberals play nice. You should be happy you guys finally won one. And even better another tax hike,you should be soo proud the dems are so brave to stand up for such a noble cause but are too gutless ( and brainless) to fund the war on terror. Oh I know 9/11 never happened and lets all be freinds with those nice people who mean us no harm (but like to cut off an occasional head and film it ) Naa lets all go back home and wait for the next 9/11 like a bunch of sitting ducks. Oh and.. by the way .. have any of you head stuck in the sand libs noticed.. we have'nt had a terrorist attack on our nation since 01?. Just asking. Thank God we've had a president with rhe guts to defend our nation for the past 7 years and not some Gore or Clinton Standing around doing nothing.

There goes the predictable Democrats and their handing out other peoples money for votes. Get your wallets out because the bill for this nonsense is coming down the pike. Tax and spend is back big time and the government is so efficient and devoid of fraud....joke. Only 30% of welfare money gets to the recipient. They'd rather do this than allow more drilling, refineries, nuclear power, something to lower energy costs. Also. increased costs for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid for baby boomers and illegal aliens means mega bucks more. Thanks for more incompetence congress...I guess this is the change the people want....pathetic
