LOL... you know it an I know it, hell anyone with half a brain know's. But when Sam Donaldson know's it... LOL Sam Donaldson: Bush Now Unstoppable President Bush has so much political capital in the wake of the U.S.'s victory in Iraq that even if he decides to attack Syria, his critics in the Democratic Party won't be able to stop him, veteran ABC Newsman Sam Donaldson predicted Thursday morning. Asked if an attack against Syria was politically feasible for the president, Donaldson told WABC Radio's Curtis & Kuby, "He could do whatever he wants. I don't say that belligerently. I mean, that's the state of it." "He is enveloped now with this cloak of 'Commander-in-Chief' that began on Sept. 11, that day of horror," the former "This Week" host explained. "And now [it] continues with the success [in Iraq]." The longtime Washington wag painted a picture of Democrats in disarray, powerless to stop Bush no matter what he decides to do. "I see very little opposition, certainly from Democrats as a party," Donaldson contended. "Bill Clinton tried the other night to say that we live in an interdependent world; [that] maybe we ought to make a deal eventually - but I see very little opposition that could stop [Bush] if he really presses forward." The one-time White House corespondent said that prospects for the Democratic party are now so bleak that their only hope is the economy. "What is their main chance? It's a terrible thing to say but it's if the economy stays in the dumper." But Donaldson predicted, "If this economy revives.... I don't see how the president can be beaten." newsmax.com
