Another "key" might be turning as President Bush vetoes funding of Iraq War

President Bush seems to be listening as he vetoes spending to continue the Iraq War

But listening to ... who exactly?

It appears that it was the Iraq Government that asked Mr. Bush to veto the spending bill this week ... even after it passed both houses (at Mr. Bush's request) with overwhelming majorities.

The leaders of both Houses of the US Congress were a little upset, to say the least--after having really gone through hoops to get the bill passed for the White House.

"It is unfortunate that the president will not sign this critical legislation," Congressional Democratic leaders House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in a statement yesterday. "Instead, we understand that the president is bowing to the demands of the Iraqi government, which is threatening to withdraw billions of dollars invested in U.S. banks if this bill is signed."

If the American people weren't quite sure what the Iraq war is/was all about, they ought to get the idea now, I think.

Another of the keys that my brother Richard in Connecticut stares at day and night seems to be turning, don't you think?
