"Bush is a totally pragmatic politician"

what a gigantic load of bollocks, especially coming from a member of the isg whose recommendations bush has virtually shit-canned...

"I think George W. Bush is a totally pragmatic politician," said former senator Alan K. Simpson (R-Wyo.), a member of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group, which recommended a new course. "He's going to do outreach. . . . He is a total realist. He knows that the solid, march-in-step Republicans, at least in the House, are gone. . . . Now his legacy depends on the national interest, not partisanship."

what is it about wyoming politicians...? i mean, look at darth cheney... must be those wide-open spaces and that constant wind...

p.s. the title of this wapo analysis piece is "Stubborn or Stalwart, Bush Is Loath to Budge..." of COURSE he's "loathe to budge..." the entire foreign policy of the united states is at stake, and it ain't just about iraq per se... let's not forget so-called democratization of the middle east, oil, a major u.s. military presence in the middle east, oil, regional u.s. hegemony, oil, 14 military bases and a massive embassy complex a'building, oil, the continuation of the aumf, oil, the foundation of the endless war on terror, oil, and the prevention of a regional islamic caliphate... (i'll leave the identification of the bogus ones to you, gentle reader...)
