...and they are willing to kill as many Americans and Iraqis as necessary to save their face - and their asses. Bush is trying to save something from his presidency. He has nothing but the war in Iraq to count as a legacy. he screwed up royally and refuses to admit it. Now America and the rest of the world have to suffer - especially Iraq. Period.

2. It's not just about Bush and the Repubs
It's about making Haliburton, Brown & Root, and the oil companies obscenely wealthy.
