Bush attempting to stay in office?

Here's my sister and brother-in-law's theory and I'm inclined to think they're right what do you think?
They took a class at the local university not to long ago, and I had forgotten this, however they said that in times of war the residing president CAN elect to remain in office. They feel that is the reason Bush has done everything he can to extend the war.
What are your thoughts?

Why did Paul claim that there is no forgiveness of sins without shedding of blood, when bible says?

Eze 18:21 But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
Eze 18:22 None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live.

Isa 1:16 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil

Why do you have a problem with a piece of cloth?

I choose to wear it. I love it. It makes me feel good knowing that sex crazed men (not all, but quite a few) are angry that this woman refuses to show off her body like a cheap piece of meat. It forces a man to look at the mind, because he can't see chest size or waist size. He can't judge who I am based on my measurements and is forced to judge based on intellect. So why do you fundies feel the need to tell us how to dress? I LOVE being my religion, that's why I chose IT. I love my hijab. So, Terry G (clone) and my clone, get used to it because it's not going away. We're proud of who we are, and your fear only shows us that we're right.
