I find it ironic that the Bush Administrations intransience in Iraq may actually lead to the US being booted out by the Iraqi government. The security agreement that has been under negotiation by the Bush folks is, so far, totally inacceptable to the Iraqi National Congress. So basically Bush’s stubbornness may actually lead to a swift end to our involvement in the war! Who could have guessed that?
The problem hinges on the demand for permanent bases, (something Bush once promised us he didn’t want) and immunity for private contractors. Oh yea, and there is the little matter of wanting authorization for a war with Iran.
Think back to the Saddam years. He had a war with Iran, a gang of thugs that were immune to prosecution and an economy that was strapped to the huge military presence Saddam maintained. Funny how the same things are Bush’s big problem.
