Interview with Medea Benjamin,
Against the backdrop of a deadly string of bombings in Baghdad causing the deaths of hundreds of Iraqi civilians and an increased number of U.S. troops, President Bush has threatened to use his veto power to block a Democratic-sponsored Iraq War funding bill. The supplemental funding legislation, which is expected to pass the House and Senate before reaching the president's desk, allocates $124 billion for the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but orders the administration to set benchmarks for success and begin withdrawing troops from Iraq by Oct. 1. Bush has attacked the Democrat's plan as an attempt to "micromanage the war." While Senate majority leader Harry Reid has said he believes the war has been lost, Democrats don't have the votes to override the president's veto, and Congress and the White House will likely have to reach some compromise to allocate funds for the military. A poll conducted by CBS News in late March found that 59 per cent of respondents think the U.S. should set a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. Peace groups in the U.S. have criticized congressional Democrats for their cautious approach to fulfilling their 2006 campaign promise of ending the Iraq war. Anti-war organizers would have liked to see Democrats in Congress use their power of the purse to cut off all money for the occupation, excluding funding to conduct a safe withdrawal. Between the Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the group Code Pink Women for Peace. She discusses the role of the anti-war movement as President Bush and Congress negotiate the future of the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
