The most recent "next story" given by President Bush for staying in Iraq was "to take the lead, and to deal with these radicals and extremists, and to help support young democracies. It's the calling of our time."

Just 16 percent of Americans think the federal government reflects the "will of the people." Just 11 percent agree with the latest neocon theory -- the "McCain Doctrine" -- which calls for the U.S. to increase troops levels in Iraq. Bush is expected to follow through on this gameplan.

1. The "next story" will be revealed

right after we bomb the crap out of Iran.

4. I'm betting a manufactured incident in Iraq, blamed on Iran

like a suitcase nuke "linked" (cough) to Iran, exploding at a US base.

That will provide a dual purpose: ignite renewed passion for the Iraq War from the soldiers, and give Bu$hco the reason to launch against Iran.

2. It will be to keep Saudi troops out of the North of Iraq, Turkish troops out of Kurdistan...

and Iranian troops out of the South of Iraq.

And to recover Saddam's solid gold toilet after someone manages to steal it.

3. "...to take the lead..." Is that show leadership, or bite the bullet?

5. A modified domino theory, probably. Iraq is falling under the influence of Iran

and so we have to stop Iraq from falling to Iran, because then Iran will take over Syria, then Lebanon, and then Israel will be surrounded, etc, etc, etc.

You know all that effort they've put into misconstruing the words of Ahmadinejad, to make him look insane? That's not just for sport, you know. It's all part of the Pax Americana effort, otherwise known as PNAC. Basic old colonialism and empire building, in other words. But it's not just to justify a conflict with Iran. It's also to justify our efforts in Iraq.

My theory, anyway.
