"We owe them something," he told veterans in Salt Lake City (even though his administration tried to shortchange the veterans agency by $1.5 billion). "We will finish the task that they gave their lives for."
What twisted logic: with no W.M.D., no link to 9/11 and no democracy, now we have to keep killing people and have our kids killed because so many of our kids have been killed already? Talk about a vicious circle: the killing keeps justifying itself.
Just because the final reason the president came up with for invading Iraq - to create a democracy with freedom of religion and minority rights - has been dashed, why stop relaxing?
W. is determined to stay the course on bike trails all over the West.This president has never had to pull all-nighters or work very hard, because Daddy's friends always gave him a boost when he flamed out. When was the last time Mr. Bush saw the clock strike midnight? At these prices, though, I guess he can't afford to burn the midnight oil.

"So our overextended troops must prepare for more forced rotations, while the president hangs loose."Yes, he deserves to hang loose, just as Mussolini and his buddies did.
Though as much as I despise him, I would want him and each neoconster war criminal to receive robust due process, be presumed innocent until proven guilty, and instead of hanging loose, I'd prefer that they serve as orderlies in VA hospitals for the remainder of their evil lives.
Peace.
