For The Duration

It's starting to become clear to me.

First, President Bush keeps reminding us that we will have troops in Iraq for years to come and the "War on Terror" is going to go on for a long time. Secondly, he claims as Commander in Chief he has all the war powers he needs and can institute any actions that he deems necessary to protect America.

What's becoming clear is that he is laying the groundwork and self-given authority to further protect America by extending his presidency for the duration of the war. After all, he has expressed the position that he will continue to do what is necessary (according to him) "as long as I am president." All hail King George.
