I just heard President Bush's statement on Iraq. Well-written, I thought, and well-delivered. To the extent that it was an argument for staying the course. I mostly agree.
Then, in answer to the first couple of questions from reporters, the President retailed the same old fabrications. Once again, he wrapped his preemptive strike on Iraq into 9/11/01 and came up with a "war on terrorism." Once again, he asserted with no evidence that Iraq was a clear and present danger to us. Once again, the bold, probably untrue statement that we are safer with Saddam gone.
He even revived WMDs; well, I suppose ya oughta dance with the fable that brung ya.
But what got me was Bush's strong words, nearly eloquent, on the sacrifices of the US troops doing his bidding.
This from a President who won't allow TV to shoot pictures of those troops coming home from Iraq in coffins.
What a straight-talker. What a fine human is our President.
