Independent Sentinel

No matter what the news pundits would have you believe, it is always, it seems, the independents who decide elections. We are the great un-party. Independents (small "i") are not ideological. Sentinels are watchers. Figure us out.

A seriously deranged man sits in the White House

Something has to be done about Mr. Bush.

There is the 25th amendment, which, in this case, is all but useless, because it would require the other deranged nutjobs in the cabinet to call for it. What are the chances of that, when we cannot even get people in his own party or the opposition to realize that he is beyond reason on Iraq?

His plan is to drag out this hellish nightmare so he can dump it in the lap of the next president, hopefully a Democratic Richard Nixon, who will keep up the foolishness until America is no more.

If a Democrat wins in 2008, I hope to God, he or she signs an order to bring our troops home or redeploy them, if there are any left, immediately after inauguration.

Problem is, I don't think we can continue ike this for another two years.

The rest of the world is ready to pull the economic rug out from under us. What's coming will be worse than the Great Depression.


President Confronts Dissent on Troop Levels - washingtonpost.com:

The debate over sending more U.S. troops to Iraq intensified yesterday as President Bush signaled that he will listen but not necessarily defer to balky military officers, while Gen. John P. Abizaid, his top Middle East commander and a leading skeptic of a so-called surge, announced his retirement.

At an end-of-the-year news conference, Bush said he agrees with generals 'that there's got to be a specific mission that can be accomplished' before he decides to dispatch an additional 15,000 to 30,000 troops to the war zone. But he declined to repeat his usual formulation that he will heed his commanders on the ground when it comes to troop levels.
