Typical Bush

On the new "agreement" with Iraq for the U.S. to remain permanently:

The pact is finally getting some of the attention it deserves. Particularly galling to some was the assertion by White House "war czar" Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute that only the Iraqi parliament, not the U.S. Congress, would needs to formally approve the final agreement.

Of course any reasonably intelligent person who understand the Constitution knows that Lute's assertion is bullshit. But that's how our government runs these days, powered by bullshit.

The next President is going to have a whole lot of unwinding to do, if they choose too.
