I sense that Bush and his minions are getting further and further outside on this and are not getting any support from anyone in Congress except McCain and Lieberman. Granted the War Powers Act is going to make it tough to stop Bush but I believe there is a building consensus that an escalation is insane. What can be done about it is the question but I think the will to stop his folly is gaining strength.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1167747334011659782007-01-02T09:15:00.000-05:002007-01-02T09:15:00.000-05:00In the wake of the Reagan funeral extravaganza, I ...In the wake of the Reagan funeral extravaganza, I recall there were discussions around that time about W's legacy: what would it be?<BR/><BR/>Will there come a point where W becomes such a liability for the GOP that they begin the "turning him out to pasture" movement?
