Did Bush, Cheney and Rove figure that, faced with a Presidential veto of this bill if it set a date for the beginning of troop withdrawals, Congress would blink, and spare them from having to deal with what might well become this Administration's worst crisis? That veto, in spite of having been declared a certainty, is also clearly not going to sit well with the majority of the American people when it happens. With the Republicans' little red wagon is still hitched to this Administration's past and present actions, such a situation will dash all of Rove's lingering hopes of (re)establishing a permanent GOP majority in Congress.
Guess they can take comfort in having set up a neocon Supreme Court.
