Bush says: "Really, It's my VERY LAST drink. You can believe me"
Saying that sending 21,000 MORE troops to Iraq is "the way to ensure that our troops come home," is like a rapist saying that letting him sleep over with you till morning is a way to get him to stop raping you...
"Funny," how much it also sounds like a confirmed alcoholic promising that this is their "VERY last drink." Some leopards never change their spots.
This, like Bush's delusions on the non-existence of "global warming" is all about "preserving his legacy" and "protecting Big Oil."
Let's be honest:
The President's speech appealing for more troops in Iraq was a complete failure from the moment it was conceived. Even Right Wing Republican Senator Sam Brownback has JUST returned from Iraq to say the Bush plan to increase troops won't help.
Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas is one of THE MOST CONSERVATIVE members of the entire Congress. When he, two other conservative Republican Senators, Pat Buchanan, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the American People all oppose this plan, it's DOA. 72% of Americans oppose the War and 61% oppose the troop increase - in a current Gallup poll. Brownback is among a handful of GOP Senators to reject Bush's plan even before he made his speech. Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman and Maine Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe also oppose an escalation of U.S. forces.
The fact is, we've been hearing these "new plans" since the day Dubya declared "mission accomplished" on the Aircraft Carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln.
But SCARILY, many top officers in the Pentagon have privately said that they sincerely believe this wrongheaded plan will "break the US Army." Having personally served with the US Army and Air Force in the 1980s and having seen the real world results of an Army similarly broken by the Vietnam War (as did General Colin Powell), I simply cannot, under any conceivable circumstances, support such a plan.
What amazes me is that he still can't even understand the difference between Al Qaeda and the Mahdi Militia.
Anyone who thinks Al Qaeda in Iraq wants a Shi'ia government there is wholly ignorant of reality in the MidEast.
Sadly, in one sense, a wholly Shi'ia government resulting from a US withdrawal would only lead to MORE violence in Iraq, but in a sadly and horribly ironic way. It would, in part, pit Al Qaeda in Iraq directly, AGAINST the Shi'ia government.
Face it President Bush, YOU SIR are ultimately and personally responsible to the loved ones of over 3000 Americans who have died for nothing. I pray to God you can face the personal feelings of guilt that can only engender in the years of life you have ahead (another Texan President, Lyndon Johnson couldn't).
Oh well, Mr President, you can always take comfort in the fact that, unlike those 3000+ American heroes, you sir, are still alive. You still, even as a failed President, have a personal future. May God forgive you for the many human lives you have destroyed.
