4. thanks, I couldn't figure out if it was done or not, not enough fireworks here. |

If voted on I figured DU would be a bit wild, in that way. Thanks. Appreciate it.

5. I'm not real clear either, but last night |
|
on the Senate Floor, Harry Reid said something like if we can't bring up Biden's amendment, then we're not bringing up the Kyle/Lieberman amendment. Sounds like they're trying to do some negotiating, but I do know that nothing got done in the Senate at all yesterday. Waiting for the start of the Senate today to see what Harry Reid says the schedule will be for today.
But I'm not sure I like negotiating an Iraq amendment for an Iran Amendment.

6. Harry Reid said this morning that they still had not |
|
reached agreement on the Biden and Kyle amendments, and that he would let the Senators know when they did and what time the votes would be.
Right now, they are still in Morning Business.

9. why doesn't Reid simply agree to take the amendments, tear them up, and flush them down the toilet. |
|
sounds good to me. bidet amendment is about as bad as the kyl/lieberman thing... who the hell does he think he is that can decide the future of Iraq... i think its up to the Iraqis... not Joe.
