    Oddly enough...

    Although I expect that Bush & Co. are working to kill the resolution, I suspect that Cheney - and perhaps Bush too - wouldn't mind TOO much if it passed. It's non-binding, after all, and it gives them another chance to prove just how irrelevant Congress is.

    And how powerful Bush-Cheney are. It's a win-win, for them.
