U.S. President George W. Bush said on Friday the United States would have a long-term presence in Iraq that could "easily" last a decade, but that it would be at the invitation of the Iraqi government.

In an interview with NBC News, Bush was asked about recent comments by Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain that it would be fine with him to have a U.S. military presence in Iraq for 100 years.

NO WE WILL NOT Mr. President !

You call yourself "The Decider", but thank GOD ( and the Democrats ) this is one decision you will not make for us.

Come November, WE will decide. WE will stand as one and say "No More"! And hopefully, NEVER AGAIN !

TO: Both Houses of Congress and the President of the United States. January 11, 2008

Our State mottoes give us Religious and Human Freedom Rights and legacy of a rich heritage by our forefathers and brave soldiers for America, not another nation!!

Our treasury is gone. In 2005 President Bush on TV said the homeless will not get Federal cost of living increase. Social Security has gotten the biggest reduced cost of living increase ever which affects millions who gave to America. I presented 97 lawsuit of scarce foods,jobs in US which all courts,my reps ignored. Elliot Liebow,Jewish Anthropologist, in his '93 book confirms my lawsuit and writes,"Closing down shelters in Wash DC and in cities around country is criminal. Welfare gives meager money."



Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a thieving scoundrel for I sent him in Jan, April 04 the scarce food,jobs,shelter resources in America which he ignored. Hann receives his mail. In my neighborhood with grocery store owners' signatures that states grocery stores no longer take EBT Food Stamps which means I cannot buy fresh meat. It wouldn't have even cost him money to solve the no EBT card problems just get the stores take EBT Food card. EBT Food Stamps machines are dirty, you cruelly wait alot,break alot. In USDA June 8, 2006 letter they also ignored my need to use EBT Food Stamp card. The Bible says there are those who have money, but they always want more and more.

In 14th Amendment we have the Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The Right to Life means that early man wanted to live and provide clothes,housing,food for his family and today people want the same Right to Live. Liberty means we all want more than to be a slave with food and shelter, for we want to live our lives in our own way. Pursuit of Happiness means that we all have the Right to enjoy life and its pleasures with music,books,radio,TV,cars,good food.

"Easily" for who, exactly? Bush and his clique and nobody else. Everyone else pays the ultimate price for this debacle. There's a special place in Hades for anyone with this degree of indifference & nonchalance over the suffering of others.
The majority of the American people have declared they want this war to end -- and Bush responds by declaring the US will stay in Iraq for 10 years!? Is there no end to this man's arrogance?

George W Bush is on a tour of the Middle East. He is due in Dubai soon.

Dubai's Gulf News, in a front-page letter to Bush, launched a stinging attack on his administration's policy in the Middle East, chiefly its support for Israel despite the "oppression" of the Palestinians.

"We realize that containing Iran, selling more weapons and securing cheap oil supplies are the main issues on your mind as you tour the region," the paper said, dismissing Mr Bush's "claim" to want to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"As for... the promise of democracy and human rights, which you are expected to raise in your official talks in the region... your dreadful record on both gives you no moral right to lecture others,'' said the daily, which listed a litany of alleged rights violations in Iraq and elsewhere.

"U.S. President George W. Bush said on Friday the United States would have a long-term presence in Iraq that could "easily" last a decade"
This is news why? A permanent American military presence in the Middle-East has been in the works since the late 1970's. We were worried that the Soviet Union would gain control of the oil and it works for the Zionists too.

Yes, we easily could be there 10 or 100 years. In fact, it would be a veritable cakewalk.
