What's all the fuss about up on Capitol Hill? Republican senators and George W. have come to loggerheads over a proposed bill expanding presidential powers. It does no good to negotiate any kind of deal with Bush the Lesser. It's been done before.
Senators, please search your short term memory. Remember the hullabaloo about the McCain Anti-Torture Bill? Bush ignored that law, despite endorsing it wholeheartedly in a big-deal news conference with Senator McCain.
History has been repeating itself over and over and over ... and while that has been occurring, support for the USA has eroded from almost universal support of the countries of the world on September 12, 2001, to ... well, Tony Blair is the only one left in the world who supports the U.S. And he's cursing himself under his breath for not standing up to Bush and disagreeing with the Cheney, et al., misguided policies.
Posted by Bill at September 14, 2006 11:09 AMI am certain Mr. Blair is quite embarrassed at this point. He would have to be.
