The democratic majority in congress simply needs to send Bush a bill that funds the troops and sets up a timetable for withdrawal. This will force the Iraqi government to get their act together and also fulfill the wishes of the American people.

If Bush doesn't want to sign it that is his decision. Congress doesn't need a veto proof majority. They only need to create a piece of legislation that meets the requirements put forth by the voters and allocates the money to keep our troops supplied in their efforts. Send it to Bush this way and keep doing so until he signs it. Place the responsibility for funding the troops on Bush. That is where it belongs. Bush has created a foreign policy nightmare and this is the way for congress to assert itself to help change that. The democrats need to show some spine if they really expect to get elected in 2008. So far it isn't happening and the voters will react to that lack of spine negatively at the polls.
