" Soldiers Honored With Silver Stars Following Extraordinary Battle in Afghanistan Ten elite Army soldiers who subdued a large insurgent stronghold in the mountains of Afghanistan after a nearly seven-hour battle were honored Friday with Silver Stars. Ray Suarez reports on the extraordinary battle." http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/asia/july-dec08/silverstars_12-12.html>> I think this is the game plan ...
No doubt.
It could be a change is made to the Senate bill, then it goes back to the Senate for “Reconciliation”.....which according to the rules would be Limited to what kind of changes they could make.....but of course, the “rules” are subject to being interpreted.
Going back to the Senate could be another way of getting EVERYTHING done to the bill using 51 votes....OR....it could be deemed passed and the amendment package goes on to the Senate while the President signs the Senate bill unchanged.....its confusing as to what the “Deemocrat Plan” really is....but its gonna be devious.
