Every once in while, the US Congress gets it right.
It got it right last week when it defeated Senator Rick Santorum's proposal to appropriate $100 million to promote pro-democracy efforts in Iran.
The vote came after an impassioned plea from Senator Joe Biden, a Delaware Democrat and the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Biden said the amendment to the defense spending bill by the conservative Pennsylvania Republican - which would also have expanded sanctions against Iran and anyone who helps it acquire nuclear technology - would handcuff the Bush Administration as it works with other major powers to negotiate an end to Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The amendment also would have closed a loophole that has allowed offshore subsidiaries of American companies such as Halliburton to secure contracts in the Islamic Republic's oil sector.
hahahahahahaha.......
as far as i'm concerned? these guys would sell their mothers (much less our country).....
Bush gets support from Hillary again here..... Both New York senators, Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton, cast votes against the amendment.
rumors are that Cheney has removed Rice from his Christams card list
