Dick Cheney thinks Dems will back down on Iraq Bill

Adding more fuel to the fire surrounding the ongoing tension between President Bush and the Democrats in Congress, Vice President Dick Cheney has come out claiming that the Democrats will back down and not pass a bill with a timetable for troop withdrawal. While the Dems have nowhere near enough votes to override Bush's promised veto I don't think they will back down on this one. This bill is an excellent way to show that they are representing their constituencies which clearly favor a withdrawal from Iraq. I'm not saying it's necessarily clean politics, but it's politics. Once again, Bush can look like the uncompromising chicken-hawk while Dems can promise to represent the people who elected them in the only facet they know how - attacking the GOP.
