I don't understand why he's risking the rest of his political life on this issue. If Congress overrides the veto then he's toast.
Time to call your congressman/woman and tell them to override any veto. If Bush doesn't care about the long-term implications of this decision, we'll have to take care of business ourselves. You lost me, Mr. President.

I don't think it matters if Congress is able to override. It is the fact that it's this little issue that he chooses to go to the mattresses over. THAT is the part that's concerning. We don't have all the pieces of the puzzle, that's for sure. But I can't honestly say that I trust him, or his merry band of neocons. I used to trust them, but after the screwing they've given Israel, and their determination not to protect the borders, I don't trust them at all.
