Mission Accomplished! Il Duce Bush pens permanent U.S. military presence in Iraq

Expect 50,000 U.S. troops to remain in Iraq FOREVER. That's the Bush/neocon plan. It won't be tolerated by Iraqis.

Iraqi officials foresee a long-term presence of about 50,000 U.S. troops, down from the current figure of more than 160,000. ___ Associated Press Writer Qassim Abdul-Zahra in Baghdad contributed to this story.

Yesterday it was announced that George Bush has unilaterally decided that the United States will have what appears to be a permanent presence in Iraq. ~~~cont'd~~~

General Douglas Lute said the long term agreement signed by President Bush and Iraq Prime Minister al-Maliki on the permanent stationing of U.S. troops in Iraq will not need to be brought before Congress because "it does not rise to the level of a treaty agreement". Another unilateral decision by our self-declared Wartime President, supreme Commander-in-Chief, and Unitary Executive extraordinaire! This is a fascist smack in the face AFAIC.
