Sometimes you don't have the luxury of dictating the engagement and/or strategy.

Neither a draft or a three term Presidency is likely.

a man more worthy of civil citation, i have not seen.

"Across seven administrations they have shared a belief in the importance of American military power. Today, they are President Bush's war cabinet. Here's an overview of their intertwined relationships over the decades, their conflicts, and the events that have shaped their views on America's role in the world."

I never would've though a billboard-sized portrait of GW with the words "Our Leader", paid for by a media company was likely either.

I dunno - 3 years or so into this term, it may become apparent that Iran is the real threat in the Middle East. Intelligence might show Al Queda leaders, WMD, captured Americans being tortured- whatever. Bush may have to reluctantly order another full scale invasion to save America from an imminent threat. And this country hates to change presidents in the middle of a war, right?

The Republicans have a majority in both houses. I could see them introducing legislation to rescind the 2 term limit so GW can finish what he started because it's infinitely better to be "fighting them over there than fighting them over here."

I don't think its likely either - just giving the darker side of my imagination a little free reign.

The White House has declined to respond to a letter from 89 Democratic congressmen asking if it was true — as Dearlove told the July meeting — that “the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy” in Washington.

I imagine the purported ambiguity of the word "fixed" was lost on those 89 congressmen.

Brilliant, almost as good as the complete disappearance of UN/France Oil for Food corruption Op-Ed cut n'pastes since it was revealed that the US companies were doing most of the skimming.
