Rice: War bill could be derailed over Iraq penalties
Bush is expected to veto a bill this week that would order U.S. troops to begin withdrawing from Iraq by October 1. Lacking the votes to override a veto, the Democratic-led Congress is considering a revised plan to pay for the way while requiring Iraq to meet benchmarks for progress. Congress has not decided whether to punish Iraq for falling short. Rice sent lawmakers a clear message, saying Bush would not agree to a plan that penalizes the Baghdad for insufficient progress. |
