I have always thought that part of the reason for Iraq was the desire to put military bases there to secure access to the oil resources there. Bush issued a signing statement today that lends credence to this possibility. This falls in line with The Project for the New American Century (or NAMBLA) goals of expanding US military presence throughout the world.
Can we have a law that bans signing statements? Or how about one that specifies that they have no legal weight? Hopefully President Obama will rein in these powers and work with Congress for a peaceful transition back to democracy.
