WASHINGTON Nov 28, 2004 — The fate of an overhaul of U.S. intelligence agencies rests with President Bush, who must exert more pressure on holdout Republicans if he wants compromise legislation to pass this year, a lead Senate negotiator said Sunday.

"If the president of the United States wants this bill, as commander in chief in the middle of a war, I cannot believe Republicans in the House are going to stop him from getting it," said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., on ABC's "This Week."

But two powerful opponents of the deal, GOP Reps. Duncan Hunter of California and James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, are showing no signs of wavering on a measure intended to put in place recommendations from the Sept. 11 commission.

Specifically, he said the link between troops and combat support agencies that run intelligence-gathering satellites of battlefield movements would be broken. That would mean "life and death to our people in the field," Hunter told "Fox News Sunday."

Hey Joe, chimmpy is pretending to want this bill, just like the assault weapons ban.

he's got it all worked out with Fox Pres. of Mexico to keep those
super cheap illegal immigrants pouring across the border for big business. Who cares if it costs more overall in tax dollars and
support services that if they just paid a legal immigrant/permanent residence/citizen a living wage with benefits for those jobs?

Can't make the borders secure because it would stop the slave
labor trade.

and will probably go exactly as far as the earlier joe-mentum.
