Don't be surprised if Bush* SIGNS this bill.
Advertisements [?]
This bill gives Bush/Big Corpo everything they want.

The Democrats get to pretend like they are actually doing something to end the WAR.

The Republican Party gets to pretend that they are opposing a bush* administration.

The Global WAR Corporations get $Billions$ more of American Working Class money transfered to their already rich pockets.

* $100Billion$ Dollars to keep the money flowing into the profiteers' pockets courtesy of The Democratic Party

* 18 months to string out the WAR until his term expires. Bush* will have 18 uninterrupted months to keep the killing and looting going as long as he says he is making progress (and he really doesn't have to do that. RE: The Iraq War Resolution). Bush* can easily string out the WAR until he leaves office courtesy of The Democratic Party.

*This bill establishes the precedent for a PERMANENT PRESENCE of US MILITARY in Iraq. This provision codifies the PERMANENT Bases to protect Corporate Commercial interests for the future looting and privatizing of Iraqi national resources. Thank You Democratic Party

*There are NO changes in the actual mission for Military assets currently in Iraq. Wouldn't want to get in the way of the looting of Iraq, the REAL reason for the occupation. Cui Bono?

*Bush gets a great Video Op to pretend like he is listening to Congress without actually giving up ANYTHING.

There is a VERY REAL possibility (likely?) that bush* will sign this bill in spite of the political theater from the White House. It gives him everything he wants, and covers his ass until his term expires. The Democrats will look pretty stupid (like after the IWR) if bush* signs it.

This scenario is WIN/WIN for both Political Parties. The only losers are the American Public, The Iraqi Civilians, and our children who will have to pay the bill for this.

You heard it here first.
Feel free to Bookmark this thread, and make me eat this post if Bush* vetoes the bill.

The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.
