Krugman NYT calls Bushshit on the phony regulatory of Investment banks…good read

OT
Sadr militia kicked a little ass then put out a peaceful truce.

Very sagacious. Do not believe that he is turning the other cheek that would show weakness.

With Bush pride always comes before the fall…to bad he drags us unwilling down with him. ($3 Trillion later)Irak will unite as a Muslim nation, both shite groups and the Sunnis will agree to live as muslim nation formally but with autonomy. Sounds like the plans have been around for some time to me. We boogie over Afghanistan (our presence). We keep air and naval superiority. Our logistic requirements are much less egregious. So 7 tears after 911 do we finally go after Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda? Maybe the Sauds have told Bushco you go after our boy and you pay bigger premium for oil.

Bushco had Sadaam as an ally against Iran, then Sadr shites against Sadaam. With no one left to betray withdrawal is the only option. If Sadr can negotiate the unity treaty we can walk freely.

Bush will say we saved Iraq from Sadaam and the Shias will say they saved Irak from us. No oil deal with USA this way. I say keep the pollution in the ground and protect the global atmosphere from more warming.

If you think the desert is hot now, and it is, Global warming will make it almost uninhabitable. Just sayin.
