The U.S. Army is “making plans to keep current Iraq troop levels through 2010,” the Associated Press reports.

October 11th, 2006 at 11:16 amOkay, say what you want about my intelligence. I am confused. If we impeach Bush, aren’t we then putting Cheney behind the reigns? And then we try to impeach him?
I don’t understand the process. Yes, I could look it up. But maybe someone knows and I can actually get something done at work today! :)
October 11th, 2006 at 11:17 amSo if you want to deal with N.Korea and Iran you NEED the draft !!
October 11th, 2006 at 11:23 amBush will never pull the troops out of Iraq, because the Oil Cartel slobbers to control the Oil, but since Bush is president till January 2009, who has agreed to keep the troops in Iraq till end of 2010?
October 11th, 2006 at 11:31 amWell, that news ought to cheer up the National Guard and active duty recruiters.
October 11th, 2006 at 11:32 amDon’t expect the United States to take any action against Korea at this point, according to the Walrus;
October 11th, 2006 at 11:40 am
Actually Southpaw I think Cheney is actually the defacto presnut pulling the reigns.
George runs around doing photo-ops and signing paperwork or clearing brush at the crawford pig farm.
Cheney stays hunkered down in undisclosed locations for the most part. [Unless he's out stumping for his sychophants]
White House counsel John Dean also refers to Cheney as “the de facto president,” so impeaching George wouldn’t make much, if any difference on what we see George do or say in my view.
October 11th, 2006 at 11:53 amWell, these current troops levels are sure an effect killing machine!
[from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6040054.stm ]
An estimated 655,000 Iraqis have died since 2003 who might still be alive but for the US-led invasion, according to a survey by a US university.
The research compares mortality rates before and after the invasion from 47 randomly chosen areas in Iraq.
The figure is considerably higher than estimates by official sources or the number of deaths reported in the media…
Hello! Wake up, America. This is what the world has KNOWN for years about this fine little dictatorship we live in.
BushCo can’t convince me that those who died had ANYTHING to do with the events of 9/11!
Emperor George can’t convince me that those who died threatened the US in any way shape or form!!!
October 11th, 2006 at 11:57 amAnd Bush just said he is not “staying the course.”
October 11th, 2006 at 12:02 pmI think this means that my very young grandsons will likely be drafted for Bush’s folly in Iraq.
#7, Dog Named Boo
That’s kind of what I thought myself.
Although, if Americans had to see Cheney on t.v. for press conferences, it might kinda give the right the willies….
October 11th, 2006 at 12:04 pm655,000 dead Iraqis – Bush dismissed the news as “not credible.”
October 11th, 2006 at 12:04 pmAlthough it was a combined effort that produced the report.
Its almost as if they are intentionally attempting to destroy the US Military.

Your assumption is correct…
…therin lies the rub (Cheney’s taking over)…
…America is caught in a Constitutional quagmire…
…however, I believe there is enough of a paper trail…
…whereby any enterprising journalist or special prosecutor could find enough damning evidence…
…to prosecute Cheney for war profiteering and various sundry conflicts-of-interest…
…Cheney’s MORE of a CRIMINAL than Bushiva…
…one mustn’t forget that fact…
…thus,this nation’s electorate should NOT be deterred from seeking to bring down ALL of the CRIMINAL BUSHITE JUNTA…
…and seeking justice and remuneration for their corruption…
October 11th, 2006 at 12:13 pmYou inept liberals, If we leave, the terrorists will perceive this action as a group victory. The world will also consider us as a weak, defenseless and vunerable country. Grab some balls. This won’t be an instantaneous win. Remember WWII? Stop criticizing the president, worry about yourselves.
October 11th, 2006 at 12:16 pmCan we stop loss our troops all the way until 2010? Some of them should be on their 12th tour by then, poor bastards.
October 11th, 2006 at 12:17 pmDaryll,
The war in Iraq is helping the “terrorist” as Al Queda says its in their best interest for the US to stay there. The world already perceives us as weak and vulnerable. Look at North Korea.
Not to mention, we’ve already been in Iraq longer than our involvement in WWII and there appears to be no end in sight.
Something has to change, no?
Perhaps you should begin to worry about yourself and stop supporting the President. I AM worried about myself AND my family which is WHY I criticize Bush. Get a clue. We need a change, now.
October 11th, 2006 at 12:25 pm#13 I agree, Big Papa, that Cheney is worse than Bush, and that is my fear. Will he take the absolute power and run with it?
Do we have to complete the impeachment process of Bush before we can move to impeach Cheney. I mean the further down the line you go, it just doesn’t get any less scary!
And I hear you on the “enterprising journalist and special prosecutor” but one can only hope that once BushCo are on their way out, these people you speak of will step up.
October 11th, 2006 at 12:26 pm[...] That's the plan. [...]
October 11th, 2006 at 12:27 pmThe way this administration set up it’s staff and cabinet, you would think that eventual impeachment was the goal all along.
Look at the Order of Presidential Succession, it’s a line up of first class ZEROs –>Cheney –> Hastert –> Stevens –> Rice –> Paulson –>Rumsfeld –>Gonzales
The outcome of multiple impeachments gets worse as you go down the line. It’s not even worth the trouble, the MUPPET is far more manageable than any of his successors.
October 11th, 2006 at 12:38 pmJune, you obviously don’t care about the protection of our soil. To this date, there are various types of terrorist cells being created within the Al Queda Terrorist group. Sure, we should have expected this, but we must defeat those cells that are being created to attack us and our allies. Let the troops leave, when another massive attack happens, blame yourself. Let me guess, you’re utilizing the CMRS (Clinton Military Response System), which means do nothing.
October 11th, 2006 at 12:52 pmClinton clinton, clin-ton, clintie clint, clintonton. Clinton. Clinton clinton.
Just since he was left out of so many threads, I thought I’d represent. I hate to leave him unblamed anywhere.

Does the chimp really think he can keep troops in Iraq even after he’s out of office? What hubris! Really, the man is an egomaniac. I’m going to waywardson’s site above and I’m going to join. This Bush has rotten mellons for balls. All size and no substance.
October 11th, 2006 at 1:21 pmImpeachment won’t happen until we have the majority in the House, and then Hastert can’t be in line, it will be Pelosi.
You must keep in mind that Prescott Bush, George Bushs Grandfather financed the NAZIs. He had to appear in from of the US Senate and have the bank he co-chair taken away from him. He was also the Senator of Connecticut. These people are NAZis. They ar trying to ruin this country. Not “almost” they “are” intentionally attempting to destroy our military.

And you obviously don’t care about the protection of our constitution, coward.

Comment by SouthPaw
If both are implicated, both can be impeached; and if Hastert loses his leadership position in the elections, Republicans should get used to saying “President Pelosi.”

October 11th, 2006 at 9:47 pmAs Rummy would have said, “We’ll go to war with the Army we had.”.
There is a reason Bush is president and not Cheney. Everybody (even wingnuts) know when Cheney is lying. Impeach Bush and bring the pus to the surface. Cheney would never win a vote.
October 11th, 2006 at 10:32 pmThis is my brother Daryll and my other brother Daryll. Wait, is that brother or cousin? Both? Southern family trees confuse me.
