HE HAS TO BE THE ONLY GUY WHO'S HAD FUN AS VP:

US Senate panel rejects Iraq plan (BBC, 1/24/07)

A US Senate committee has rejected President Bush's plan to send extra troops to Iraq, passing the measure to the full Senate for a vote next week. [...]

Before the hearing Vice President Dick Cheney dismissed the objections, saying: "It won't stop us, and it would be, I think, detrimental from the standpoint of the troops."

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think Bush has submitted, nor does he have to, any plans for any "surge". Anyone know?

Technically, all the committee is doing is asking the full Senate to say that it does not support any surge. Whoopsee-dee! Who cares? There is no "rejection of plan" because the Senate does not have any "plan" to consider.

'cause tying the failure in Iraq EVEN MORE TIGHTLY around the GOP's neck is such a brilliant move for Bush and Cheney...

What failure? This is the point in the Reagan Administration where all the Democrats washed their hands of the Cold War. Funny how when he ied they'd all been at his side the whole fight.....
