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.

Masters of War

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Bush could easily be in The Hague for 10 years.

Here's a suggestion: Let's build the BUSH Presidential Library in IRAQ ! If we're gonna be there for ten years ( maybe even 100 ) it could be a draw for tourists..­.Flak jackets suggested.

It could be more than a Library...­possibly even a monument to Ego and Insanity.

Any contributors?

"We"? Geesh, didn't know he had family members there.

How much has it cost us so far? How much will 10 years cost us?

It's not like our economy has a rosy future as it is. Like I said before, the US can only be destroyed from within.

Ya, and if justice is ever done, Bush, Cheney et al, will still be in prison when our troops leave Iraq...eve­n if, as John McCain says, it's in a hundred years. Of course, that's in a perfect world...wh­ich we clearly do not live in.

In this world, criminals of this magnitude get a pass on paying for their crimes. In this world, mansters like this claim victory only after killing uncounted hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, children, babies, and the unborn. I have to wonder why the right to lifer's aren't up in arms about the mother and child abortions that our "culture of life" War President is so adept at. He doesn't just kill babies, he kills mothers and their unborn babies together. It's probably just because he's such a "compassionate conservative", and he doesn't want the fetus' to arrive in heaven alone, so he makes sure that their mothers go with them to keep them company.

JAIL TO THE CHIEF

mr bushit,
What do you mean "we" white man.
You slip into the region under cover of darkness, go to a US protectorate, aka the "green zone"
I suspect, your green zone is even less like IRAQ than the red green zone we hear about.
Now, lets get back to 'We"
It aint me. not now, not then, not tomorrow. Nor will my grandkids participate in your criminal actions. FO

Stocks Slammed by Bad Credit Fears

Stocks Cave on Worries Over Investment Bank Writedowns, Anxiety About Upcoming Earnings


NEW YORK (AP) -- Wall Street plunged again Friday amid renewed fears that the financial sector's troubles with bad credit won't soon end and that some consumers are buckling under signs of a slowing economy. The Dow Jones industrials fell more than 240 points.

The earnings from slash and burn sales over christmas should make scary reading.

what should gee duhbyuh's punishment be for this farce of a presidency and this crime of a war?

personally i'd kinda like to see him in prison but have it be more like a zoo so we could come look at him... toss him peanuts... and bananas, of course (monkeys like those, don't they) and... of course... taunt the livin daylights out of him. i'd like to see a glass cube with no place to hide as his habitat (with airholes of course so we can toss the peanuts/bananas through them... oh yeah... and so he can breathe). maybe we could move it from city to city so everyone can get a good chance to feed and taunt him and as a reminder to his supporters and other neocon type fools to behave themselves or if they have any honor in them... hare kare. but of course; i'm not holdin my breath... for the hare kare. i do believe bush will be arrested and put on trial at some point.

Yes America; you can start planning for your kids' future ...in Iraq.

The bright side? At least it is not the 100-1000 years McCain projected while campaigning.

Love how Bush says "at the invitation of the Iraqi Government". As if Maliki doesn't know he is a dead man the moment we leave.
So, how long will the "surge" last? The moment it ends, the civil war will start over again.

Oh my,

The snivelling Bush post is shut.

I suppose his tears will be regarded as heroic.

Ten years, huh? That should provide plenty of time for Barbara and Jenna to sign on and show their patriotism!
