布什总统会前告诉记者他期待这次会谈将是同与其对立的立法者就如何资助伊战许多会话中的一个。
"People have strong opinions around the table, and I am looking forward to listening to them, I've got my own opinion, which I am more than willing to share. The whole objective is to figure out how best to get our troops funded, get the money they need to do the job that I have asked them to do."

会议桌上意见强烈，我很期待倾听他们的观点，我已经有了自己的观点也乐于向大家分享。我们的主要目的是找出最好的资助部队的办法，拿钱让他们完成我所要求他们做的任务。
Democrats say their legislation supplies all the money President Bush is asking for. The obstacle is a timetable for getting U.S. troops out of Iraq if the government there does not meet certain benchmarks.Democrats say the deadlines hold Iraq's government accountable for more of its own security and force the president to stop what they say is an open-ended commitment in Iraq.

民主党人称他们的立法供给了布什总统所要求对资金。问题的阻碍是如果当地政府没有达到一定的基准，那么应该制定一个从伊拉克撤军的时间表。民主党人称该期限会促使伊拉克政府对其自身安全问题负担应负的责任，并促使总统终止其所说的在伊拉克无限制的承诺。
President Bush promises to veto that legislation because he says timetables for a troop withdrawal would embolden the enemy and limit the flexibility of U.S. commanders on the ground.
