WASHINGTON - President Bush and his spokesmen continue to say that Iraq is a "sovereign" nation and that the U.S. is there at the invitation of the Iraqi government.

- snip -

"We are there (in Iraq) at the invitation of the Iraqi government,"Bush told reporters. "This is a sovereign nation. We are there at their request."

What a charade.

- snip -

I asked a White House press spokesman whether the U.S. would support a referendum among Iraqis on whether the U.S. occupation should continue. He declined to answer.

At the same time, Bush knows that his victory in winning congressional approval for a $120-billion war-funding bill is a
temporary triumph.

2. No, Helen, Bush is not buying time. Our troops are buying time

for Bush with their lives and limbs. Bush hasn't bought anything, hasn't given up anything, hasn't sacrificed anything of his own.
