Bush berates Dems over Iraq war funding
It is clear that Pres. Bush is upset with the house and reaffirms that he will veto any legislation that has a timetable in Iraq. Harry Ried's claim that he knows that he does not have the support to override a veto but hopes he can make Bush cave makes little sense. If Bush knows that his veto will not be overridden, why would he not veto? Although the public support for the war is continuing to slip, I highly doubt that Bush will back down. The important thing is that if something does not happen within the next 3 months, the money shortfall will start to effect the troops, both sides will need to make some concessions

Ok so its obvious that Congress and President Bush and Congress have different ideal points and different preferences in the war. Bush does not want a pull out date and the majority of Congress wants a pull - out date. The two need to find some kind of compromise (win set) because war funds will be affected soon, which could harm out troops.
