The "try" part being meeting to see if McCain has had a reality check on the fact that he's a Senator going against the majority, and not he President making policy in time of war. Bush won't blink on this. He came out too strong the whole time since he put it to the Senate. It will be his way or the highway.

McConnell on the Deal [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell made the following statement Thursday regarding progress on the Bringing Terrorists to Justice Act:
“The President was very clear that any legislation on terrorist detainees must ensure that our intelligence-gathering interrogation program can continue. As the President said, this valuable program has saved innocent American lives and is preventing future terrorist attacks. The legislation we will soon consider on the Senate floor meets the President’s criteria. This is a big win in the continuing war on terror.
