Bush: President for Life


“Let's imagine, and this is purely hypothetical, that President Bush has already decided that he will not leave office in January 2009 without a satisfactory resolution of the Iranian nuclear problem.”

-- Robert Kagan for The Washington Post

Thus Kagan begins his column. I went on reading it thinking that he meant Bush would not leave office after his second term, that he might have to suspend elections until he successfully concluded the War on Terror. I thought Kagan may have been giving us some inside dope over some of the thinking in Republican circles. What a funny misunderstanding!

Heh, yeah that's the one. She's very young, and it has a pretty young Martin Sheen, too. I was impressed with how much she sounds like her mature self already - that voice.
