He signed one today on the defense act waiving the ban on permanent bases in Iraq. So I guess we are in Iraq indefinitely. Will Pelosi and Reid do anything now? Nope..
That's what the House just passed. Bush threatened to veto a 30 day extension. So what about a 15 day one?

Now being reported that Giuliani will go to California tomorrow and drop out at the Reagan Library. This according to a senior Giuliani campaign official.
Chuck Norris is mad that Romney is putting his own money into the campaign:
Of course the media won't focus on this attack by a campaign surrogate. They just want that to happen on the Democratic side.
Over 80 lawyers for detainees at gitmo are supporting Barack Obama for President. This should really be a glowing endorsement for him, but I doubt it will get much play in the media.
Very interesting article that deserves a good reading. It shows how Blackwater is throwing their hat into the political ring in order to keep some seats in the hands of the GOP. Morale of the story? Republicans will let Blackwater go on with their reckless killing of Iraqis.
And it's too late to blame Brownie for it:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency manipulated scientific research to play down the danger posed by formaldehyde in trailers issued to hurricane victims, according to an investigation by congressional Democrats.
FEMA "ignored, hid and manipulated government research on the potential impact of long-term exposure to formaldehyde" on Katrina and Rita victims now living in FEMA trailers, said a letter written by Democrats on Monday.
Democrats on a House Science and Technology subcommittee wrote the letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. FEMA is part of the Homeland Security Department.
This is another case where the left would bring it up and the right would shoot it down as "conspiracy". Well it doesn't look so much like a conspiracy now.
"There has not been another attack on our soil since 9/11" -- anthrax! Anthrax! Oh well. For some reason that whole episode has been officially erased from the historical record or something.
Bob also reminds us of another terrorist attack - the D.C. snipers.
I guess that Rudy, 9/11 turrets syndrome is not only contagious, but also has the symptom of selective memory loss..
Just another sign of how bad our economy is doing.
