Retired General to Bush: Sign the Bill
Though widely expected to be vetoed by the brainless scab President Bush, congress has made big steps in this timeline bill, the likes of which would have never been seen under Republican control. Though it won’t make a difference; this administration stopped listening to input by anyone except God himself long ago, a retired general William Odom called for Bush to sign the bill and end the war soon once and for all.
President Bush should sign legislation starting the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq on Oct. 1, retired Army Lt. Gen. William Odom said Saturday.
“I hope the president seizes this moment for a basic change in course and signs the bill Congress has sent him,” Odom said, delivering the Democrats’ weekly radio address.
Odom, an outspoken critic of the war who served as the Army’s top intelligence officer and headed the National Security Agency during the Reagan administration, delivered the address at the request of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. He said he has never been a Democrat or a Republican.
