Gettin’ Tough

President Bush had harsh words for Democrats today as he spoke to the press in Rose Garden.

The president accused the majority party of being “more interested in fighting political battles in Washington than providing our troops what they need.”

Amen to that Mr. President, and it’s refreshing to hear him using the bully pulpit to express the disgust that many of us have over a power-hungry Democratic Party that would risk soldiers dying in the field over it’s manic obsession with regaining power in Washington.

Here are more comments from the speech:

“If Congress does not act, the Army may have to delay formation of new combat teams,” he said. The president called it “irresponsible for the Democratic leadership” to continue delaying the funding for the war.

“That is unacceptable to me, and I believe it’s unacceptable to the American people,” he said.

“Debating these differences should not come at the expense of our troops,” Bush said. “Congress shouldn’t tell generals how to run the war.”

“Delays beyond April and into May will affect the readiness of the American military. Enough politics,” he said.
