Negotiating Our Future in Iraq, without Senate input

Bush would like to negotiate a long term agreement with Iraq, including security and training assurances without going to the Senate for ratification of a formal treaty between the nations. Why would he want to do that (other than a long standing hatred of anything that smells like oversight)? Because treaty ratification would require a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate and is therefore unlikely to pass in the face of massive public opposition to a long term presence in Iraq. Why should the dupes paying for the mess have any say at all?
