Senate Passes Deadline and Defeat Bill

How long will it be before President Bush announces a veto and makes a very public spectacle of the Congressional efforts to not only undermine US national security and strategic interests by setting deadlines and pushing the military to accept timetables that have no basis in the facts inside Iraq, but was so laden with pork that the bills could have been mistaken for a salad bar menu or the guide to a state fair midway.

As I noted the other day, while the veto is the most likely way that Bush will deal with this feckless measure, he could take another route - employ a signing statement that enables the funding to continue while ignoring the timetable provisions because they violate the US Constitution's separation of powers clause.
