CLflSSIITEDS Commenta ; War without end How long can we keep making the same mistake? Beattie Revisited V When it comes to the war in Iraq, the answer, it , seems, is indefinitely — or at least until President George W. Bush leaves office. (Was this cartoon drawn three years ago or z On Tuesday, the president vetoed a $124 billion supplemental war-funding bill, backed by Democrats, that would have established a timeline for withdrawal of American soldiers; the bill would have required .withdrawals to begin by Oct. 1 of this year, with a . goal of completion six months later. In issuing the veto, Bush said he was exerting his , constitutional authority as Commander-in-chief. But he was also re-affirming his commitment to war with- out end in Iraq. Though it has now been four years since Bush donned a jetfighter's uniform and stood under a "Mission Accomplished" banner, it is clear that he has no intention of withdrawing American sol- diers from Iraq during his presidency. Tuesday's veto — only his second — simply made that official. It's a cruel irony that a president who is so nakedly political has decided to stick to his guns on an issue where he is so catastrophically wrong. Every week, it , seems, brings a new story of ways in which the administration has leveraged executive powers for even the slimmest partisan gain. But on the most important issue facing the country, the president has decided to defy the will of the electorate, even if it /means taking his party down with him. i. A recent Pew Research Center poll found that 59 •• percent of Americans want their member of Congress to back a war-funding bill that includes a timeline for ?withdrawal. But a friend of the president's told the Washington Post this week, "He said to me he is not going to allow public opinion to interfere with what he thinks is right for the United States." (At the same time, Bush said of Congressional Democrats, "They've sent their message, and now it's time to put politics behind us" — as though he couldn't conceive of their i motivation being based on concern for the country k rather than partisanship.)

C-4 MAY 4, 2007 Daisies blossom at Scotch Plains Firehouse Banquet to raise funds for Black Achievers Program The Weatfield Area YMCA will host its ninth annual Black Achiever* Fund-raising and Recognition Banquet tonight, May 4, from 6:30-10:30 p.m. at Snuffy'a Pmntagis Renaissance in Scotch Plains. The keynote speaker for the evening will be Assemblyman Jon Bramnick (R-Dist. 21), and the special honoree will be Weatfield Superintendent William J. Foley. The Black Achievers Program began at the Harlem YMCA in 1968 as a conduit to help youth develop cop- ing skills and education goals. The program matches adult role models and mentors with youth, who are able to see the commitment of these high-achieving individ- uals and their willingness to give back to the young people in their community. This year, 75 youth and teens participate in the Weatfield program, which offers a wide variety of pro- grams and activities at little or no cost. The program focuses on building community partnerships in which young people are encouraged to develop to their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body. By matching youth with achieving African-American and other minority professionals as role models, the program aims to raise the academic standards of young people, expose stu- dents to diverse career options and inspire them to reach their goals. Participants have assisted in com- munity events and service such as the Community FoodBank of NJ, Martin Luther King Service, Y Men's Tree Sale, Pre-School Holiday Boutique and Y Lunch with Santa. The cost for the banquet is $75 per person. The Black Achievers Program is funded in large part by this event.
