Morning Edition reported today that BushCo is negotiating a treaty with the Iraqis that is not a really treaty since they don't want the irksome task of trying to get it approved by the Senate.
It will be just as binding on future presidents but administration lawyers are typically wordsmithing a stealthy name for it. They want to commit US troops to the long-term occupation of Iraq with the least amount of unpleasantness at home.
It's not a treaty, it's an Enduring Relationship?
Can't we please impeach Clouseau before he destroys the world?

My first spouse and I established and promised an "Enduring Relationship" too.
How long do they last?
Until Bushie gets his ass out of our White House and not a minute more!
