A Scary Performance and a Signal for Slaughter: Matthew Rothschild

[Domitan]

Bang on article!

George Bush's press conference on April 13 was a scary performance.


Not because his second sentence was ungrammatical: "This has been tough weeks in that country."
.
.
.
No, his performance was scary because he plunged the United States deeper into a no-win war in Iraq.


"We will finish the job of the fallen," he said.

He gave only a pro forma nod toward the additional innocent Iraqis the United States may kill in the process.
.
.
.
Bush's rhetoric is proof once again that the government of the United States is in the hands of a crude and deluded leader, whose war policy in Iraq promises more disasters to come.


"Our work may become more difficult before it is finished," he said.


With Bush's approach, that is a guarantee.

1. The ironic thing about the Vietnam comparison:

in the Vietnam era, the US actually HAD more troops to send.

Of course, Dubya doesn't YET have a draft. Promising to send as many troops as necessary is just more prelude to trying to restart conscription.
