"A narrow majority in the House of Representatives abdicated its responsibility by passing a war spending bill that has no chance of becoming law and brings us no closer to getting the troops the resources they need to do their job."
He added: "These Democrats believe that the longer they can delay funding for our troops, the more likely they are to force me to accept restrictions on our commanders, an artificial timetable for withdrawal and their pet spending projects. This is not going to happen."
Bush quoted Defense Secretary Robert Gates as warning that without additional funding by April 15, U.S. troops could face shortages. "Congress needs to send me a clean bill that I can sign without delay. I expect Congress to do its duty and fund our troops."
