Congress torn over Bush's IRAQ plan
The war in Iraq may be the most debated and controversial issue facing America today, and for the past 5 years. Democrats have opposed it strongly, and republicans have endorsed it full fledged. The war in Iraq should receive a great deal of attention, but in order to solve that problem, The war between the parties should be resolved as well!
with democratic control in congress, they have a great influence in what the president and his people can do with Bush's new Iraqi plan. In this plan, President Bush wishes to send over 20,000 American troops over to Iraq to help rebuild the country from the bottom up. He also wishes to help support a job program that would employ Iraqi people to paint buildings, clean up streets and build schools. This plan could cost over 1 billion dollars. This call for an influx of new troops in Iraq put President Bush as the target of the new democratic force. Recently, in a letter sent from congress officials to the president, the leaders insisted that president bush focus on an immediate withdrawal of forces from Iraq.
The president has the final say in what goes in with American policy. He can veto laws; however, congress can oppose the veto with a two thirds majority vote in one house. With that said, there may be some conflict within the white house and the senate when it comes down to secure a real plan for Iraq. Democrats have the power to halt the increase in troops sent to Iraq by cutting off money to President Bush. However, many people in congress fear that it will appear that they do not support the troops, or the stability in Iraq.
President Bush argues that with his new plan, he will create job stability in Iraq for the people there to flourish under a new government. He is planned to make a speech sometime this week to announce his strategies of the last stretch in saving the Iraqi mission. Immediately after the speech, several hearings will happen on Capitol hill for the democrats to pick apart his plan of actions. What will come in the future, will an interesting debate.
