Georges Bush has put a veto on withdrawal plan
The president of the USA Georges Bush has put a veto for the bill of assignments for military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The document also establishes the terms of withdrawal of American armies from Iraq.
The government of Iraq supports the decision of the US government. The Iraqi leaders have criticized the American members of parliament for approval of the bill on withdrawal of armies from the country till March, 31st 2008. Iraqi leaders consider this as one more step to activization of the armed extremists in the country.
Earlier Iraq’s Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has declared that he does not see the necessity for an establishment of exact term of withdrawal of American contingent from its country. As he said, such operation can take place only after the government of Iraq would be able to control the situation in the country.
On April, 26th, 2007, the American Senate has approved the law, providing the withdrawal of US armies from Iraq which, according to the document, should start not later than on October, 1st 2007, and to come to the end within 6 months. However on April, 28th, 2007, Bush has promised to put a veto for the law. The democratic party of the USA insisted on that the president “has heeded a voice of American people” and has signed the bill.
The president of the United States has fulfilled the promise, notwithstanding the fact that only in April, 2007, more than 100 Us soldiers were killed in Iraq. Last month became the most bloody after December 2006, when 112 American militaries were killed. In total from the beginning of campaign in March 2003, 3 thousand 351 US soldiers were killed in Iraq.
