50 More Years in Korea

Oops! I mean, Iraq. So says President Bush.

I'd have a lot to say on this, but luckily, someone else said most of it first.

Bottom line, when Bush leaves office, there's no telling what the next administration will feel is appropriate with regards to our foreign policy, especially as it is guided by the war on terror.

But don't sigh with relief yet. There's a year plus of Bush-induced damage to inflict, and a presidential election that may or may not change the course of strategy.

But, hey, peace is totally overrated. And staying out of another country's business - that's just not our style.

In other, even more ridiculous fakery news, Bush is trying to coopt the global climate change agenda. How cute.

Or utterly absurd, depending on how you look at it.

But really, what is the world to do? If the US doesn't back some sort of plan, everyone else on the planet would have to reduce their emissions and carbon consumption by about 100% to even put a dent in the quantities this country produces.

So, what's the plan? Encourage him, praise him, let him toot his own horn, and hope that something rational will come out of the G8 conference.
