What, you didn't know? Isn't it completely obvious?
According to president Bush, speaking from the White House Rose Garden yesterday, everyone should constantly support his cause (whatever that may be) because the terrorists are a "threat to your children". Well, that's what he said to NBC News White House correspondent David Gregory. There was a nuanced difference in what he said to New York Times reporter Jim Rutenberg; "It's (terrorism) a danger to your children, Jim."
Ugh. It's also noteworthy that Jim Rutenberg has no children - proving, once again, that George W. Bush is a f**king moron. Hey Dubya, if you are going to try to scare us, at least be realistic about it.
The politics of terror are old. I'm so sick of politicians using scare tactics to gain support, pass legislation and to achieve and maintain power.
Oh, sure - I will concede that there are definitely people "out there" who want to hurt Americans. That has been WELL documented. Hell, go turn on CNN right now and I would bet that you would only have to wait five minutes before you see a story about American soldiers being killed by a suicide bomber or an IED. It sickens me - but continued support for a war that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11 simply does not make sense to me (Afghanistan is another story).
The f**king cowards in Congress - and yes, my congressman is included in that bunch - makes me so angry that I can't see straight. Democrats - whom we put into power to make some REAL changes - got scared and backed down from the fight. The media has been calling this a victory for president Bush but I could not disagree more. This is not a victory for anyone... PARTICULARLY those who are serving in Iraq. Oh sure, soldiers are going to get much needed funding, and I'm all for that, but they are also going to have to stay in Iraq until... well... we DON'T KNOW.
If Congress would have grown a pair and made the timetable mandatory, our men and women in uniform would have a much clearer picture of when they could return home to family and friends. It would give them the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel". However, it appears that Bush and his homies in D.C. want to make that tunnel extremely dark. So dark, that one cannot see their hand in front of their face.
On top of all of this, the president also predicted a "bloody" summer in Iraq. Oh, that's reassuring. What a dick.
