From the OSCE wiki page:

“After a group of thirteen Democratic United States senators petitioned Secretary of State Colin Powell to have foreign election monitors oversee the 2004 presidential election, the State Department acquiesced, and President George W. Bush invited the OSCE to do so.”

So add the Senate to the state department mentioned above.

It was the compassionate conservative thing for Bush to do. :eyeroll:

You could blame ther Senate but “Dubya” should have told them to pound sand.
