it seems pretty likely the American Senate will approve it
This is where we disagree. The House passes all sorts of crazy laws all the time and the Senate exists to act as a filter, among other things.
Besides, the general tide is turning against Bush and his cronies. He's currently riding at under 50% approval, and as I recall, support for the Iraq war is at about 40% and dropping. The American people are starting to come to their senses about this sort of thing.
Heck, just the other day, an attempt at killing a filibuster on John Bolton's nomination failed. So our elected officials are starting to cobble together rudimentary spines.
