president bush vetoed legislation to pull u.s. troops out of iraq tuesday night in a historic showdown with congress over whether the unpopular and costly war should end or escalate.

it was a day of high political drama, falling on the fourth anniversary of bush's "mission accomplished" speech declaring that major combat operations had ended in iraq.

in only the second veto of his presidency, bush rejected legislation pushed by democratic leaders that would require the first u.s. combat troops to be withdrawn by oct. 1 with a goal of a complete pullout six months later. - asspress
