Repubs have to start wondering why he's trying to screw their own? Don't they? blink.gif
Just a little? unsure.gif

He is not trying to screw his own. He is trying to make it legal for Americans to commit war crimes. What they were previously doing behind closed doors, Bush wants to make legal.

What a fine example the great, shining, number one Democracy on the face of the earth sets for the rest of the world. barf.gif

Expect many things like this as the Republicans try to force as much as they can before losing power in 06.

This is about the Bush Administration, not about the Republicans in general. Regardless of what happens in 06, the Bush Administration will still be in power and still be seeking legislation like this to allow Americans to legally and freely commit war crimes. Do not confuse the issue.

I think their trying to do this to save their own asses.
End of story.

Probably so, Sky, because they no doubt know that they have already broken the provisions of the law they want over-turned, and they do not want to prosecuted in the future if, as amazing as it sounds, someone actually wants to enforce the laws that Congress passes and comes after these Bush Administration officials.

If any Democrats side with Bush on this one, they need to be noted and purged from the party at the soonest opportunity.
