So you've knowingly judged the other posters, now why don't you try being brave and stating your view?
Is Bush doing this out of some core belief? Or is he doing it out of cold political calculation?
I have not heard a word on what Bush himself has said. All I have heard is from the likes of the NY Times. I'am willing to wait and see what happens and how this plays out. Maybe he will only renew it for one year just to get past the 2004 elections and then dump it???? Sometimes GW plays these things close to the vest in order to sucker the liberals. Parley
