CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- President Bush is starting his sixth year in office with a flurry of activity designed to trumpet upturns in the economy, defend U.S. action in Iraq and challenge critics who claim his methods of fighting terrorists infringe on civil liberties.

While the president makes his case in public, his aides will be girding behind the scenes for looming battles with Congress over the renewal of the Patriot Act and the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito.

White House officials hope this week sets the tone for its top priorities as Bush visits the Pentagon on Wednesday to discuss the war on terror and then flies to Chicago, Illinois, on Friday to try to convince Americans that the economy is on solid footing.

"I've been thinking long and hard about 2006," Bush said Sunday after a visit to wounded troops in San Antonio. "And my hopes, of course, are for peace around the world. I'm going to continue to work as hard as I can to lay that foundation for peace."

:sarcasm: The economy part will play well as heating bills pile up.

'foundation of peace'. :eyes:

is to fully "democratize" the middle east... Iran and Syria, here we come...
I hope not, but he is fostering the PNAC agenda to the hilt... I pray I'm wrong

and the photo. The real outcome of Bush's "foundation for peace". The foundations are missing in the photo.

Lots of people are coming out with predictions for 2006. I'll list mine here.

1) Bush will sink further into the quicksand.
2) His cronies will be caught, indicted, lots of rats to round up.
3) Bush is sweating big time that 2006 will be better than 2005. He's going to become desperate when he sees that 2006 will be worse. Real estate is going to bottom out.
4) He's going to look back on 2005 and cry.

We can only hope your predictions come true cliss and its not a turnaround year as the short attention span of the Americaqn people forgets about what happned in the past year.

"I've been thinking long and hard about 2006," Bush said Sunday.

We all know that for GWB, being President is "hard work". Has he now added "thinking" to his long list of difficult endeavors?

So then he perked himself up by clearing brush for a few hours. Chainsaws are cool!

over as of tonight.

I'm ready to puke.

I'm ready to bury my head in the sand somewhere...I find myself surfing the net looking at webcams and old building and beaches...anywhere but the US

He thinks that he can yet again re-package his tired old programs and sell them as something new.

what's the plan, again?

His brain is probably in shock. I don't think Cheyney will be to happy about this, because now he will have think of something to keep him occupied. You know, like he did last year when he sent out peddling the phoney Social Security gig. Well, they gotta give the chimp something to do.

for the evil empire . . . while others call the shots, His Higness travels the country selling the evil to America's consumerist automatons as absolutely essential in that nasty ole "war on terror" . . . just as they listen with feigned interest and mild amusement to the latest Nike commercial, our buybots are more than willing to hear what he has to say . . . he IS, after all, the president don'tcha know . . .

and this is what it's come to . . .

Sing it with me like the Beach Boys...

"Bomb-Bomb-Bomb Bomb-Bomb Iran"

For those that don't know, it was during Bartlett's sixth year that the show suddenly jumped forward to the end of Bartlett's SEVENTH year, skipping an entire year of his presidency.

We can only hope such a flux in time can happen in this reality and get us closer to the end of Bush's term of office.
