Offering the administration a dime without a definite commitment to withdrawal all military forces from Iraq will ensure the occupation's perpetuation into infinity. Allowing them to unilaterally and indiscriminately lop off vulnerable civilian employees and other essential elements which support our national security to further their Iraq folly will permanently codify their reckless rape of our nation's defenses.
In a Rose Garden lecture today, used to highlight Bush's latest attempt at tyranny, the lame-duck militarist mocked the Democratic majority's maneuvers designed to thwart any more of his opportunistic, autocratic recess-appointments and complained (once again) that Congress wasn't listening to his handpicked generals.
"Instead of listening to the judgment of General Petraeus, they are threatening to withhold money he needs unless they can mandate an arbitrary date of withdrawal," Bush complained.
What's a lame-duck decider and his military cabal to do? Nothing that their decidedly hapless opposition in Congress won't allow.
