Bush Lies; Dog Bites Man; Water Wet

To the surprise of no sentient being, the Bush Administration has reneged on yet another promise in announcing that Iraq will have only "limited sovereignty" as of the June 30 date it had previously set for that nation's putative independence. In this announcement, the Bushites continue their weaselization of the language: sovereignty that is "limited" is not sovereignty at all, of course, which includes "supremacy of authority or rule" and "complete independence and self-government" (citing dictionary.com). Thus the administration continues its utter contempt for everything, including sheer reality, except itself and its economic and ideological cohort.
