Bush is not considering people´s opinion on Iraq policy

This administration is utterly disconnected from the will of the American people and it has been from day 1 of Bush's second term, if not earlier - but from that point, all bets were off. I don't know that the true ramifications of what this administration has done in terms of foreign policy and the socioeconomics of this country will ever be known, and the arrogance of offering up lies as justification for continued gross misdeeds is unmitigated.

This "lilly pad" is supposed to allow the military to "protect U.S. interests in the region" in the event of a congressional redeployment order? This is like Monty Python... "so, as long as you're in these hermetically sealed bases and not running around the country patrolling and whatnot, then you're not really in the country?" "Right. Won't even notice us. Quiet as a peep." I don't know what's more preposterous - the thought of the whole thing, or the actual fact that people in incredibly important positions are actually thinking something this moronic.
