Cheny thinks Democrats will Drop Timetables

Vice-President Dick Cheny thinks that Democrats will drop legislation requiring timetables for troops to withdrawl because President Bush will veto any legislation with timetables on it and Democracts do not have enough support to override a presidental veto. Cheny is claiming that the Democrats will blink, but top Democratic leadership has claimed that they will not blink. Democrats think that they are in power because voters in November were not happy with the war and now Democrats are trying to make voters happy with the war. What is interesting is that Democrats think Republicans will blink and either jump ship to side with the Democrats or loose their seats in elections.

I think both sides are just trying to show power before their meeting. Bush and Cheny promising veto and the house Dems promising not to back down.
