Bush vetoes bill calling for troop pullout

He does??? Since when did he get that? And a backbone is useless if you don't have the brains to back it up.
HOWEVER, with that said, I don't feel that a pullout of troops anytime soon is the right way to go. I DO feel, however, that a serious change in direction is needed by the US troops in order to gain some sense of security and some sense of trust in the region. They have done a terrible job of winning hearts and minds, and I still believe that is the best way to make any headway in this crisis.
Serious question-
I have read a bit about this and still can't figure this out- since the veto was used, does that mean the whole bill, spending and all, has to be re-submitted in some other form, or was the veto "selective" and merely used to blot out the "offending" part of the bill??
Either way, I can see this getting complicated, the elections are a long way off but both sides have things set up such that compromise will be difficult
