Iraq 2008

I do not believe Mr. Bush will escape the coming apart of Iraq. He certainly wishes to do so. He will start bringing troops back, leaving just enough in the long term bases which no Iraqi seems to want in their country. Then, everything will be hunky-dory. His thinking is that when things in the future fall apart, he will be comfortably gone from the presidency - long enough to alibi his way through History. I do not believe he will be able to do so. 2008 is filled with an ominous silence presaging the storm: storm of economics and storm of Iraq. Too bad for us all.
