It appears to be the closest thing to a possible concession Bush may go with on this one. In 45 days there maybe something that even the administration hasn't seen that crops up from congress? After all, they are good at throwing mud and seeing what sticks.

Again, I would not trust the congress to do anything but throw mud, obviously with their next election in mind. As for the Dubya's insistance that this deal go through, I trust him more than any congress-critter.

I don't trust the congress either but as long as they don't get their mud throwing sessions then we'll have an eternity of watching Polosi on the evening news talking about how the President doesn't consult congress and in this case she'll get the points.
