  Especially while our troops are dying for your country or the Congress should pull the plug and bring our troops home. I predict they will be home before Bush leaves office. Sooner the better.
  
  Halliburton has already begun to cut and run: http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/
  Cheney gave his cash cow the heads up months ago.
RollFizzlebeef, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11The president responded, “I don’t want to pass this off to another president.
I don’t want to pass this off, particularly, to a Democratic president,”

Generations of presidents will have to deal with the aftermath of this fustercluck.
- RollFizzlebeef, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm also thinking we've got the "flip" part of the Republican nominee's eventual flip-flop on Iraq on tape - namely, at the first Republican debate.
  I believe they all quite happily embraced the war(s), with the exception of Ron Paul.
- BrandonMills, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The thing that finally brings to his attention the seriousness of the matter?
  
  There might be a *gasp* Democratic President in '08!
  
  Of course, that doesn't even begin to mention the fact that Republicans are still predicted to have massive loses in races for House and Senate. It looks like Karl Roves 'Republican control' dream is going down in flames.
jackelsmack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Funny, WaPo reported today that Bush recently assured Saudi leaders of his intention to stay in Iraq his whole term:
-------
To dampen such speculation, Bush is said to have told the Saudis that America will not withdraw from Iraq during his presidency. 'That gives us 18 months to plan,' said one Saudi source.
------ http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/08/AR2007050801581.html

If the President is talking out of both sides of his mouth, which side is he playing for suckers, the Saudis or congressional Republicans?
- EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Excellent question. Did you ever see Bush holding hands with a Congressman? The Saudis own Bush. He's their man, far more than he is ours, I'm afraid.
JackBurden, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It is an absolutely disgusting state of affairs when telling the president the truth is a "defining pivotal moment." Where were these brave GOP souls when telling the truth would have made a real difference? Cowards.
bagold51, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The "cowards" were supporting Bushco because they didn't want to be against him at the time. Now that the country is demanding troop pullout, they are hopping on the other bandwagon now, because their jobs are in jeopardy.
- BrandonMills, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'd rather be fired than follow the orders that this administration has given.
  
  As far as I'm concerned, all willing followers of this White House deserve to go down with their Captain on this one.
phibre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the Royal Families of the Old World - Windsor, Al-Saud, Rothschild - have been trying to get their hooks into the New World since before the Declaration of Independence.
We need regime change, not continued two party cartel leadership.

ps BUSH GOT TEH PWND
