aWol's new Iraq push: editorials say don't bother
"So long as I am president, we will stay, and we will fight, and we will win the war on terror.” - Bush at a recent photo-op at a VFW hall.
Note: "we" = your sons and daughters, since he’ll be on his summer vacation in Crawford.
In an address that repeatedly invoked Sept. 11 -- the day that terrorists who had no discernable connection whatsoever to Iraq attacked targets on American soil -- Mr. Bush offered a new reason for staying the course: to keep faith with the men and women who have already died in the war. It was, as the mother of one fallen National Guardsman said, an argument that 'makes no sense.'
No one wants young men and women to die just because others have already made the ultimate sacrifice. The families of the dead do not want that, any more than they want to see more soldiers die because politicians cannot bear to admit that they sent American forces to war by mistake."
