Bush's Gallipoli

The congress voted to "give the troops the funding they need". What about the diplomacy they need, or the hope they need that they are not going to keep coming back forever.

Bush says we need "more of a national discussion" on "the consequences of failure in Iraq." The consequences of pursuing Bush's plan for failure are more people dying, more money flushed down the rathole, no money for domestic needs, and gas prices through the roof, making billions for his friends. Those are the true consequences of our ongoing failure in Iraq.

In Bush's upside down world, he calls this failure 'success'. (Maybe those oil profit billions are on his mind.) He and his lackeys foam at the mouth about the chaos that would ensue in Iraq if we left. But then, talking out of both sides of his mouth, he says "what they're going to try to do is kill as many innocent people as they can to try to influence the debate here at home." So he admits our presence is instigating the chaos. Mr. Tough Guy says we can't let people getting killed shake our will, so he will keep the meat grinder turning so he can prove his manhood.
