Georgie was heard shrieking:

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - President George W. Bush is likely to veto any legislation that proposes a timetable to leave Iraq, administration officials said Thursday. That was after Democrats in the House and Senate pushed legislation that would do just that along with re-focusing military efforts.

The legislation includes provisions for withdrawing U.S. combat troops from Iraq by August 2008, or sooner, if specified progress benchmarks remain unmet. Those provisions are in the Senate and House versions of appropriations bills that also provide money to give troops better equipment, training, and care when they are wounded as well as money to expand military operations in Afghanistan.

Democrats hope to have the legislation ready for a floor debate and vote in two weeks.
