I agree. Bush said what he said knowing full well that this bill will not ever see his desk. Rove will keep the Republican fence sitters in line. Sure, some Republicans will vote for it just as some Democrats will not. But in the end, the AWB renewal will be either outright killed or transferred to some subcommitee where bills go to die.
Everything has been planned out and pre-arranged. This President absolutely controlls the current congress.
It was nothing more than a shrewd political move by Mr. Bush to maintain votes among the gun-hating soccer moms.
I sure hope not.
