Before Bush sticks his foot in it John, tell us all what should be done about North Korea and their upcoming missile test. Or are you waiting for Bush's decision so you can be against it?

Among the many secrets the American government cannot keep, one of its biggest (104 acres) and most expensive ($592 million) is the American Embassy being built in Baghdad. Surrounded by fifteen-foot-thick walls, almost as large as the Vatican on a scale comparable to the Mall of America, to which it seems to have a certain spiritual affinity, this is no simple object to hide. Either this embassy is huge or they are being taken. Labor is one of the biggest costs in contruction and labor in Iraq is dirt cheap. Its all about the oil........Bush is setting up a stronghold right in the middle of oil country.

Democrats demanding an exit strategy from Iraq are routinely derided by the Bush Administration as cowards who "cut and run." But if this Embassy plan is not a form of cut and run, what is it? Instead of cutting and making a run for Kuwait, they intend to cut and run into what amounts to the world's largest bunker, a capacious rat hole where they can wait in safety until all the Iraqis have killed one another or all factions unite, march on this air-conditioned citadel and slit the throats of its irrelevant inhabitants. There is a point at which Bush's intentions and what the average American wants will be so polar that it will come to blows. And then, that's when Bush's iron hand will come down on this country.
