[Ben Ficklin]

I hope you understand that whether or not Ben supports the treaty is not very important because he is just an annonymous poster out in the middle of nowhere.

But, Ben can browse the internet and objectively report who is supporting the treaty and who is opposing.

So, let's first turn to Joe Biden, the majority committee chairman, the gatekeeper. Since he, as a minority committee member, was a strong supporter of the treaty in the last Congress, we can safely assume that it will easily get a hearing. But, Biden has many and bigger fish to fry so he will be a while getting to it. Plus he knows it has political value to the dems in that it is a thorn underneath the saddle for the GOP and a source of dis-unity. Minority leader Reid was strong supporter and Majority leader Reid will support it also.

OTOH, the NSA is pushing hard, but Bush and many other pubs are hoping Biden doesn't get around to it until after the next Prez gets elected, and she can get blamed for it.

Wow, talking about yourself in the third person is not the way to go.

It's obvious to me which way you lean on this issue. imo that is.

What's next, Rove is a magnificent bastard and this is all part of his master plan?

This country is being sold out from under us for the greater good..........
