Bush's Speeches

Bush's speeches as usual just preaching to the choir--this time to Reserve Officers. He strokes them and they return the favor. Whats new is his now trying to say that the Islamist Fundamentalists, or whoever the bad guys are today, are trying to take over the Middle East so that they can attack the U.S. What a bunch of bull. Will the Media pass on this one like they did with Bush's making the case that Saddam was a terrorist because he gave money to the families of suicide bombers who had their homes blown up by the Israelis; all the while kissing and holding hands with the Saudis who were also giving money to families of suicide bombers who had their homes blown up by the Israelis. That one went right over the heads of the Media.
If Bush wanted to make an example out of Afghanistan and Iraq he sure went about it the wrong way. Now the Arabs are saying "who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf now?" All anyone has to do is read the history of the Middle East to know that the only way to win there is to be a total despot. The British and French finally realized their mistake and got out and we eventually will too. There will be no victory. I'd like to see the Bush administration define what they think "victory" is in this case. A shabby consulate in Baghdad?
