"There's not a chance in the world"</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> that the Senate is going to pass a bill, the upper chamber's self-appointed spokesperson added. "I believe that we in the United States owe it to the other countries to be well informed, to know what the intentions of the United States are," he said.

</div><div class="f slp">Last month, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) announced that he would travel to Copenhagen in December to act as a climate skeptic “truth squad” during international climate change treaty negotiations. “I think somebody has to be there — a one-man truth squad,” Inhofe said on CSPAN. Today, on Bill Bennett’s radio show, Inhofe revealed that his delegation has expanded to “a truth squad of three”:</div><div class="f slp">
</div><div class="f slp">BENNETT: And John Barrasso’s going with you, right? John Barrasso?</div><div class="f slp">
</div><div class="f slp">INHOFE: Yeah, Barrasso and <b>there’s another secret person going with me [WICKER?].</b> We’re going to have a team of three, a truth squad of three.</div><div class="f slp">
</div><div class="f slp">Listen here:[adobe flash]</div><div class="f slp">When Inhofe first announced his plans for a “truth squad,” TPM’s Eric Kleefeld remarked, “It’s nice to see how seriously foreign policy is taken these days — when a member of the political minority will send his own delegation to an international conference, in order to undermine the government and tell other countries that they can’t work with the United States.” Now it’s at least two members of the political minority.</div></span></div></li><li class="g" style="margin: 0px 0px 23px;
