In keeping with the prevailing pattern of his life, as known to date, Preznit Stick 2 Naught pulled Viceroy Jerry out of Eye-Rack about forty-eight hours early, and has "handed" over the Iraqi government to ... someone. See, now it's not longer his fault if Americans die there, because the Eye-Rack-ees are in charge because there is "Freedom Reigning" or Raining or something. It's Harken Energy all over again, this time though Americans and others are dying and it's just as wrong now as it was then...criminal from start to finish and someone's making money off the deal and he will too, eventually.
President Bush celebrated the transfer of political authority in Iraq on Monday as the fulfillment of his promises to a broken country, but warned that violence and the U.S. military presence in the country are unlikely to end soon.
...
"We pledged to end a dangerous regime, to free the oppressed and to restore sovereignty," he said. "We have kept our word."
Ah, yeah, except for this part:
...It read: "Mr. President, Iraq is sovereign. Letter was passed from Bremer at 10:26 AM Iraq time -- Condi."
Bush, using one of the thick black pens he uses to sign autographs, scrawled "Let Freedom Reign!" and sent it back to her.
...
In a reflection of the dire conditions in Iraq as the interim government assumes power, Bush and Blair said that they would not be surprised if Allawi imposed martial law, and that they would support him if he did.
Let's see, Iraq ... martial law ... a regime imposed by force of will ... hmmm, could it be SATAN? (superiority dance: cue music)
First Question on the test, pencils up please: Is Freedom Secure?
I'll be watching as the Huey's, Seaknights, Chinooks and Blackhawks take the last of the folks off the roof of the Embassy...hey, I watched it once, what's a little deja vu among friends?

Welcome back, Jo.
...whereupon, Condi scanned that piece of paper and flung it out all over the Internet. They even got a copy over at Blogs for Bush.
I guess she wanted everyone to know that Bush and she were passing notes back and forth in class...
I find it hard to believe that Shrubby knew how to spell "reign" correctly without coaching.

I suppose under Bush Jr.'s National Security Strategy (2002), this could be considered a preemptive withdrawal. Or is it conditional surrender? No, it is merely facing the fact that the November election is only 3 months away and Bush Jr.'s primary goal is winning - a man who rather be President than be right. Since he's not in charge of Iraq (wink, wink), how can voters complain when bad things happen there? Clearly, Bush Jr. cannot stand the heat in the kitchen as witnessed by the neocons' reactions to Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11". Personally, I think the title should have been "Centigrade 9/11", which would have made it a hotter movie.

The most dangerous place in Iraq Monday was between Bremer and his plane.
It could happen. Then Jeb would have a cause to run for in 2008 to get the guy his brother set free that his dad couldn't get...
Wonder how many times Tenet thought of ordering to end this problem with Saddam's gun in the White House and blame it on the Chimp? In the Lincoln bedroom no less where Ken Lay has sleepovers...
But the CIA only offs Democrats. Then again this administration has been unprecedented.
