In an interview with Fox News that aired Thursday, Bush warned that Afghan women will "suffer" should the Obama administration decide to downscale troop levels there.

"My concern of course is that the United States gets weary of being in Afghanistan and says 'It's not worth it, let's leave' and Laura and I believe that if that were to happen, women would suffer again," he told Fox's Greta Van Susteren. "And we don't believe that's in the interest of the United States or the world to create a safe haven for terrorists and stand by and watch women's rights be abused."

"We liberated Afghanistan from the Taliban because of providing a save haven for al Qaeda," he continued. "But I believe then and believe now we have an obligation to help this young Democracy to survive and thrive."

1. A little mission creep with your Jim Beam, Mr. Bush?

How odd! I don't recall anything about the status of women in Afghanistan as a reason for your illegal invasion. Dressing things up for the history books, are we? Then again, some people said that Poland fired the first shot to start World War II, so you're just following in some well-worn footsteps.

8. There is no way Dubya can clean up his image by pretending to

give a damn about women in Afghanistan; his war caused thousands of women to die all for the cause of killing Bin Laden(and that never happened). Crawl back in the cave George.
