Quote:I don't think it will come to that, if only because it's more Congress that's in the pigopolists' pockets than W. And regardless of the money they throw around, this would be a hard sell in Congress, especially one elected with an apparent mandate to end the current war. Plus, W doesn't dare divert any troops away from pacifying Iraq. I think W is determined to have a peaceful, democratic Iraq as some kind of crowning achievement to his administration, regardless of how realistic that goal is, and he's not going to threaten it by doing anything that will take troops away from the region.
What I see is Shrub's administration deciding it needs to send already overstretched troops to change yet another regime that's defied George the Second -- and struck a blow at the pocketbooks of Big Business.
