"Apparently the disaster that Bush has created in Iraq is now the justification for having created it."
Rewritin' history
[Bunnypants] thinks he shows courage when he insists we stay the course and accept the near-daily slaughter of our troops as vital to our nation’s future.
Forget the fact that the reason we supposedly went to war - to find and confiscate weapons of mass destruction - is not valid. Forget the fact Bush has made colossal mistakes in securing and rebuilding Iraq. Forget the fact that Bush, who in 1999 as Texas governor said, "Victory means exit strategy and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is," has no exit strategy.
What galls us most of all in Bush’s June 28 speech in Fort Bragg is that our wartime leader sounded less like a competent problem-solver and more like a broken record. His vapid remarks echoed what he has said repeatedly over the past two years; in fact, if you listen to his speech along with his two previous prime-time addresses on Iraq, you could scarcely tell them apart.
There were no terrorists in Iraq plotting attacks on America before your March 2003 invasion. So it’s hardly reassuring that you are spending hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayers’ dollars to draw jihadists from all over the region to Iraq - only to use their arrival to justify the war in the first place.
