Bush Wants Congress to Wait
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com
Fearful of a Republican rebellion over Iraq that his own aides believe could force him to change course, President George W. Bush said Tuesday that the United States would be able to pull back troops "in a while," but called on Congress to wait until September to debate the future military presence there. The president, speaking to an economics club in Cleveland, sharply rejected a new round of efforts by Senate Democrats, as part of a two-week debate on a military spending bill, to force the withdrawal of American troops. "We can accomplish and win this fight in Iraq," Bush said, urging an increasingly restive Congress to wait until top U.S. military and diplomatic officials report back from Iraq in September before revisiting the war debate. -international Herald Tribune
