Bush admits it

I've been telling everyone for months that Bush/Cheney have no intention of ever getting us out of Iraq. Bush has now said he envisions American troops in Iraq for another fifty years, just as in Korea. A little fact that Babble Boy apparently hasn't considered. The South Koreans were our allies. While they might not be entirely crazy about our troops still stationed there, they are at least not actively trying to murder them on a day to day basis. Iraq is nothing like Korea. The Iraqis don't want us there and are actively attacking our troops (when they are not too busy killing each other). Our troops don't want to be there. The American public certainly doesn't want them there. The rest of the world doesn't want them there. Bush apparently thinks what the Iraqis or anyone else thinks or wants just doesn't matter. As usual only he knows the truth about what we're doing, the "sacrifices" we've made "bringing democracy" to the Middle East, and blah, blah, blah. We're going to stay there and "protect our interests" (oil) whether they want us to or not. Just think of it, fifty more years of insurrection and bloodshed, who knows how many more American troops killed, and more thousands of Iraqis killed, all for Bush's crazy plan to make Iraq into an American Protectorate, 51st state, or whatever. He's even saying that he's going to make it so the next administration will have to carry on the occupation (I have no idea what he thinks he is going to do). Personally, I'm more convinced than ever that he is just plain crazy.

Indeed, there is growing evidence this may be so. It is reported that when visited by some of his Texas cronies he walked around beating his chest and repeating "I am the President." This follows a similar report of similar bizarre behavior a few weeks ago. I guess Laura and Barney still support him. And why not? Both Republicans and Democrats apparently still support him as evidenced by their failure to take any action against him whatsoever (like, maybe, impeachment, forced resignation, even cutting off funding for his absolutely illegal and horrible "war").

I would be pleased to see a charming, intelligent, successful black woman as first lady, but I suspect there are a lot of Americans, especially women, who would not be so pleased. There are probably people who are more willing to accept Obama himself than his wife. I hope I am wrong about this and if Obama should somehow be elected I would hope everyone would welcome her with open arms and all best wishes.
