As Bush Loiters

Good Morning. A couple of items for the weekend...

• It’s turning into an interesting Christmas season for those mothers, fathers, wives, sons and daughters who’ll get to lose a husband, a father, a son in the next few weeks (and of course years) as the American death tally in Iraq ho ho hoses it to 3,000 while our Lord and Savior president and decider decides not to decide what to decide next for Iraq until — maybe to please Jenna and the other one — “after the holidays,” as the phraseology of the corporate cruiser goes. See Pierre's "Christmas Toll"
  

• From the Daily Journal: Lebanon's worst enemies, South Africa's child murders, Italy's "war on Christmas," and Christmas again for the Muhammad Cartoons.

Good weekend everyone.pt
