Is Bush Confused about Who is a "Terrorist" and Who is an "Insurgent?"

[KoKo]

WHAT BUSH SAID
BUSH"S SPEECH from The Pentagon........

"The only way the terrorists can win is if we lose our nerve and abandon the mission. For the security of the American people, that's not going to happen on my watch. We'll do our duty. We'll defeat our enemies in Iraq and other fronts in the war on terror. We'll lay the foundation of peace for our children and grandchildren."

COMMENT from FROOMKIN READER:

-snip-

"1. Who are 'the terrorists?' He's talking about Iraq. Are 'the insurgents' also 'the terrorists?' Has Bush ever defined just who 'the terrorists' are?

"2. What would constitute a 'win' for the terrorists? What do they want? Do we know? Has Bush ever asked himself what 'the terrorists' want and whether or not it's reasonable? Tactics aside, what do they want? Don't tell me 'they hate freedom.'

"3. What constitutes 'losing our nerve?' Is it losing one's nerve to pull resources back from an ineffectual approach and apply them to an approach that is more promising? How many times in WWII did we pull resources off one front to reinforce another?

"4. What is 'the mission.' Can we abandon a 'mission' that has never been defined? To quote George Harrison: If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.

"Imagine if the press corps took this one short sentence and forced Bush to define his terms."

2. Bush the terrorist

George Bush is the terrorist. He is on some sort of mission from his "God" to kill all the "heathens". The people who attacked the twin towers on 9/11 were religious nutcases. Bush is as much of a religious nutcase as they were.

6. I have hope that folks are starting to "connect the dots"

especially between his performance "before the bullhorn moment" when he flew around the West...so he could stay away from the scene of devastation. There's a "pattern" developing here...

4. Of course he is, he doesn't even know the difference

between an Iraqi and a insurgent.

5. Bush is confused about his left and right foot.

7. Obviously; he doesn't even know

the difference between water and vodka, the great drunkard...
