Transcript:

REPORTER: Will there come a day, and I’m not asking you when — I’m not asking for a timetable — will there come a day when there will be no more American forces in Iraq?

BUSH: That, of course, is an objective, and that will be decided by future presidents and future governments of Iraq.

wants it now. It's called instant gratification.

He wants to ride this failure into utter catastrophe, and take the rest of his party with him.

the complicit media and the dumb assed sheeple!

most of us have known since the get go that * has earmarked iraq for 14 permanent bases, and several embassies..the largest embassy in the world in fact..so who is being fooled here??

certainly not me..we will be in iraq until the last drop of oil is extracted from the sands of iraq..period! end of story..

* will never leave iraq and will steal elections for his brother et al..until his buddies that own his soul get all their oil!

If Americans want the troops home they need to vote straight Democrat. Even Hilary would bring troops home sooner than any Republican.

couting our straight dem vote??

i do not count on the counters!!

He's "their boy", and with The PA II and another LIHOP/MIHOP, junior will be in the WH indefinately.
The neocons/PNAC have achieved part of their agenda. A change of exec's is out of the question to them, IMHO.

.....the total implimentation of "The Patriot Act", suspension of elections and all. Pardon me, but I hope you are totally wrong - although, these days......

The people are already disapproving in near record numbers. That won't happen.
The Professor

See elections 2000 and 2004.

Not just the Patriot Act, but the way Congress and the SCOTUS have been turning a blind eye to Executive Privilege and allowing bush to consolidate power in his office.

Why wouldn't he say that the country shouldn't find a new president in a time of war? As long as he's that president, it'll be fine with him.

;)

US Troops and Mercs will remain in Iraq until
2009 and most likely many years afterward unless the Shi'ites and the Kurds decide otherwise. Rethugs and Dems will never stop funding the $Billions for this Occupation. Even if 99.99% of American were against this Occupation it would continue. The will of the people of America is not relavent.

It isn't likely as long as the Bush Regime is helping the Shi'ites and Kurds kill Sunnis.


"The terrorists want to control the oil. Our way of life will be at risk". George W. Bush (Nov. 2005)



Bush Regime Iraq Successes (Phase 1)

1. Saddam will no longer sell Iraqi oil via the Euro.

2, A military foothold in the ME. Other than Saudi Arabia.

3, No countries will be able to buy Iraqi oil that the U.S. disapproves of.

4. Slowing production of Iraqi oil garners more profits to US Oil Corps.

5.The Military Industrial Complex is a booming Industry.


Phase 2?

"Why does the Bush Administration refuse to discuss withdrawing occupation forces from Iraq? Why is Halliburton, who landed the no-bid contracts to construct and maintain US military bases in Iraq, posting higher profits than ever before in its 86-year history?
Why do these bases in Iraq resemble self-contained cities as much as military outposts?"
