The last few days have been difficult ones for me personally. As for how that imbecile in the Oval Office has dealt with the aftermath of those attacks in the last five years I'd like to say "thanks for nothing".
Uh . . . that wasn't what Bush and Cheney were saying four years ago. New intel? No. I think the administration just figured that outrageous lie had outlived its usefulness (unlike the over 2600 KIA service men and women who won't get that chance).Five years after the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, President Bush said Monday night the war against terrorism is “the calling of our generation” and urged Americans to put aside differences and fight to victory despite what he called “a difficult road ahead.”
“America did not ask for this war, and every American wishes it were over,” Bush said. “The war is not over — and it will not be over until either we or the extremists emerge victorious.”
Bush, in a prime-time address from the Oval Office, staunchly defended the war in Iraq even though he acknowledged that Saddam Hussein was not responsible for the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Yeah but first we have a few more countries to invade (oops I meant "liberate") before we get around to looking for Osama.Bush said that Osama bin Laden, the reputed mastermind of the attack, and other terrorists are still in hiding. “Our message to them is clear: No matter how long it takes, America will find you and we will bring you to justice.”
That would be worshipping at the altar of consumerism via mass consumption and ensuring access to all the oil we can eat (yes the food at your local grocery store is entirely dependent on cheap/accessible oil).Bush said the war on terrorism was nothing less than “a struggle for civilization” and must be fought to the end. . . We are fighting to maintain the way of life enjoyed by free nations,” the president said.
Yes - an ideological struggle to establish an American Empire running on the world's remaining reserves of oil and gas (and the careless sacrifice of the lives of your sons and daughters).“The war against this enemy is more than a military conflict,” the president said. “It is the decisive ideological struggle of the 21st century and the calling of our generation.”
Thanks George. It's been a long, strange and expensive ride but it looks like this train is finally pulling into the station. The only question on my mind is should we stop the train and let you off, or should we just slow down and push you out the back door of the caboose?
