A Coward Goes to Baghdad

From Doug Basham of OpEd News, this is a searing piece. Be sure to read the 2 letters from the GIs in response, at the end of it.
WHOA.

Listen to this first line in a story from London's "The Telegraph" on Friday…"President George W. Bush was back at his Texas Ranch yesterday basking in the most adulatory coverage in months, as an admiring American media described his surprise trip to Iraq as one of the boldest ever presidential forays."

BOLD?!?! Doesn't anybody get it? Let's put the pieces together.

First piece... I remember this pathetic, cowardly little man in the White House standing before the cameras and saying… "Bring 'em On". And I remember how his mindless boot lickers praised him for his bravado - too damn stupid to realize that a comment like this was putting our troops in FAR more danger than any 10 stories the media could report - the same media who essentially handed Bush his war on a silver platter - the same media this administration and their apologists now like to blame for the deaths or our soldiers.

Second piece... Last Monday at Fort Carson, Colorado… the president said "The United States of America will not be intimidated by a bunch of thugs."

Third piece... During his visit with the troops in Baghdad, he said "We did not charge hundreds of miles into the heart of Iraq, pay a bitter cost in casualties, defeat a brutal dictator and liberate 25 million people only to retreat before a band of thugs and assassins." Now first of all… What do you mean "we", Kemo Bushbey? The only charge you've led is the one against our values, intelligence, decency, reputation and civil liberties… altho' you have been charging a lot to America's American Express card, haven't you?

That oft-overworked Rovian word, "bold"? When you see or hear THAT moniker attached to a description of something Dub did--or allegedly did--just think "Repub talking points FAX". :eyes:

Very...bold (the real definition, not Uncle Karl's NewSpeak "definition")
