Bush-League Policies

Both the House and the Senate have set out blueprints for withdrawal from Iraq before the end of next year. Although George W. Bush has the votes necessary to sustain his inevitable veto, it's become all too clear to anyone with half a brain (so you can see why Bush doesn't get it!) that this war is unwinnable for the United States. But then, the Bushes have always denied that wars aren't winnable. Remember George the Elder's insistence that we could win a nuclear conflict?

Also, Bush had the Only Two-and-a-Half (formerly Big Three) U.S. automakers at the White House the other day with new automobile models that are able to burn E85 - a fuel that is 85 percent corn ethanol and 15 percent gasoline - that is designed to lessen our dependence on foreign oil and increase our dependence on Archer Daniels Midland and other evil agribusinesses. Gosh, isn't there anyone in Washington who's not afraid to call for more public transit?
