According to the bill, it was supposed, that the withdrawal should start not later than on October, 1st, 2007 and to come to the end within 6 months.
However on May, 2nd, the president of the USA Georges Bush has put a veto for this bill. As a result the Congress had to exclude terms of final withdrawal of the American military contingent from the text of the document.
The final variant of the law assumes allocation on operation in Iraq and Afghanistan in current financial year, which will come to the end on September, 30th, 2007, and the sum of 95 billion dollars is planned. at the same time the analytics mark, that Bush’s signature on the document does not mean the termination of discussion concerning White House’s policy in Iraq.

Former mayor of New York Rudolf Giuliani has declared about his intention to participate in presidential elections and has called to finish structure of the American army to 550 thousand people.
In R.Giuliani’s opinion, it is necessary to add 35 thousand soldiers more to the present number of the American army in order to strengthen the military power and to operate better during the post-war period.
Making speech in one of American military schools, Giuliani has emphasized that President Bush has strengthened American military power, and the further strengthening is planned in the future. Forces are necessary to constrain aggression and to resist to calls which can rise on their way.
former mayor of New York has noted that he considers, that USA require at least 10 new brigades in addition to that increase in number of armies which was offered by president Bush.
Military school “Citadel”, where R.Giuliani acted, is well-known for its cadets, who have opened fire in located nearby Fort Sumpter. These shots have led to the beginning of Civil War in the USA.
 

National Rifle Association (NRA), one of influential lobbyist groups of the USA, has called President’s administration to refuse support of the bill, providing the refuse on selling weapon to the persons, suspected of terrorism as breaking a civil freedom.
NRA Executive Director Chris Cox has sent the letter to the US general public prosecutor. C. Cox has specified, that the bill will allow carrying out any infringement of the second amendment of the Constitution on the basis of the suspicion not supported by the facts in terrorism.
Cox has pointed out that the word “suspicion” has no legal sense, especially when it concerns denying constitutional freedom.
The bill supported by the Justice Department, allows general public prosecutor to block sale of the weapon or licensing for it the people, suspected in terrorism. At the same time the second amendment of the US Constitution, which actively protects NRA, uniting owners and collectors of the weapon, gives Americans the right to carrying of the weapon.
According to the current US legislation, the suspicion in terrorism is not the basis for refusal on sale of the weapon.
Nevertheless, after recent events at university of Virginia where the Korean student has arranged the present massacre, having killed 31 persons, have forced Americans to reflect seriously on consequences of free sale of the weapon.
However, as it was found out, the number of supporters and opponents of preservation of a present situation is practically equal. Moreover, there is an insignificant advantage at those who demands to leave the weapon on free sale.

The democratic party of the USA also hopes that the bill on withdrawal of armies from Iraq by April 2008, approved by both chambers of the Congress, will force the Iraq government to operate more actively.
Let’s emphasize, that the acceptance by the senate and the House of Representatives of the Congress of the decision on withdrawal of American armies from Iraq by March, 31st 2008, has displeased the authorities of the country. One of the representatives of Iraq government has told that they see a lot of negative parties in this law and it can negatively affect the political life of the country.
