The LA Times brings us a story today full of promise and hope and renewed optimism:

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration has begun exploring ways of offering Congress a compromise deal on Iraq policy to avert bruising battles in coming months, U.S. officials said.

With public support of the war dropping, President Bush has authorized an internal policy review to find a plan that could satisfy opponents without sacrificing his top goals, the officials said.

The president and senior officials "realize they can't keep fighting this over and over," said one administration official, who along with others declined to be identified because they weren't authorized to speak publicly or because decisions were pending.

Mr Bu$h intends to offer Congress a compromise on policy? I think we’ve been here before when he offered compromises on Social Security, Katrina aftercare, the bankruptcy bill, and several Iraq funding bills. Those were done by proxy, through a lockstep Republican Congress, other than for the most recent Iraq funding bill, in which our Democrat leaders played vertebrate for a month of good press, and then delivered what Mr Bu$h demanded from the beginning. We’ve also seen how Mr Bu$h compromises with things like the stem cell bill. The fact that such a bill might actually save Americans’ lives or improve their health is less important than the supposed “respect for life” of a man responsible for killing a little bit south of one million human beings in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bush was victorious last month in the most recent round of his battle with congressional Democrats over Iraq. He forced them, after weeks of struggle, to accept a $120-billion emergency war spending bill that did not require reductions of U.S. troops in Iraq. But future White House battles with Congress are looming.

Mr Bu$h will handle the future “battles” in the same way he has in the past. He will sit and wait, and excoriate his opponents as traitors deliberately seeking to hurt the troops that he has abandoned to his ego, and the trained seals of the American media will unthinkingly parrot his words.

Bush has said he will not accept any American pullback that would imperil Iraq. Democrats are feeling growing pressure from their antiwar base for troop withdrawals, and could sacrifice a crucial 2008 campaign issue if they agreed to a deal with the White House.

At the same time, a deal could be tempting to lawmakers who see it as a way out of a war that has damaged Congress' reputation as well as the president's. Though Democrats would be reluctant to let Bush off the hook, many "would have a hard time turning down a proposal that offers a real way out," said a Senate Democratic aide.

Mr Bu$h will not accept any “compromise” that returns one single solitary soldier to the US. He will not accept a “compromise” that cuts one dollar from his ego-war.

Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi: you are playing the other guy’s game, on his court, with his ball. You cannot impeach George Bu$h, because that would leave us in the talons of Dick Cheney. You have enough material to impeach Dick “dick” Cheney.

This man thinks he is beyond the reach of law. (That is the definition of “outlaw” by the way.) He mocks the very machinery established to protect the country from despots.

This man is an embarrassment to the country and a stain on the very word “democracy.”

IMPEACH DICK CHENEY NOW!!!

The rest will fall into place.
