Interesting Veto

Haven't posted in a while. Just hasn't been something I've been into, or had time for. But I will update this constantly (well, more often anyway) when I'm in Europe. But here's what I had for today's post. Check this out from BBC News.

"Earlier on Tuesday, leaders of the Democrat-controlled US Congress signed the controversial bill agreeing to $100bn (£50bn) in further funding on condition US combat troops begin to withdraw this year.

Mr Bush criticised the bill, saying it "substitutes the opinions of politicians for the judgement of our military commanders."

Interesting words from our president, who thought no ill of signing the No Child Left Behind bill into law some years back. Stealing education from the hands of educators and delivering it to "the opinions of politicians" seemed okay back then, didn't it? Why is bombing people more important and justifiable than ensuring that American students lead successful, enriching academic lives, without fear of unjustified reprisals from uninformed government bodies?

::sigh:: It will soon be summer, and I'll be on vacation.
