Quite a few have commented on George Bush's apparent instability. Joy Tomme argues, and I agree, that W is crazy to ask for another $170 billion for this war. However, I posit that the Saudis may have demanded this proposed "surge." They can enforce their demands by threatening to disinvest in the U.S. -- which means, crazily enough, that spending $170 billion might prove less costly than the alternative.
This theory makes Bush's decision seem a bit more rational. Nevertheless, I favor the swiftest possible pull-out. Call me crazy.

Sounds like the rhythm method to me, Joseph. ;)
I do think we should insist that any "surge" include the twins, though. Especially jenna.

That's what happens to debtor nations. We get to pay in blood, if nothing else. A nice deal for those at the top, who could care less about those less fortunate than themselves.
apparently washington Post and other misinformation outlets for this country that are directed by the C***IA have been given the green light to isolate Bush by using words like "irrational" "crazy" and discredit Bush and isolate him in order to save the republican party from being smeared with bush's bad press.
Watch in the days and weeks and months ahead for more of this.
