Hi all; Rumors that Bush will eventually fire the neocons for the Iraq fiasco emerge:

Disaster in the Making
Eleanor Clift, Newsweek, September 12, 2003

Firing Rumsfeld would be tantamount to admitting the Iraq war was a mistake, which is why it probably won’t happen. But if Bush wins a second term, sources close to Bush 41 say junior will clean house and the neocons who pushed him into the war will get their walking papers.

This is why I'm not so sure that I'll vote for a democrat for the White House in 2004. I think that Bush has learned his lesson, and in any case, he doesn't have enough troops for any more experiments. I also suspect that it will be easier for a Republican to pull out of Iraq "with honor" than a Democrat, since most of the Democratic field are running on a platform of more war in Iraq.

P.S. Here's a photo of the Iraqis, 60% of whom supposedly want their country to be just like the US, celebrating over the destruction of a US vehicle:

In a sense they're getting what they want, in that if the Arabs were occupying us, we'd be celebrating when one of their vehicles bought it too.
