B Sousa,

The Bush crap you are spouting about "You voted for it, too," gets nowhere with me. Either he is the Commander in Chief, or he is ducking responsibility. He tries to flim-flam us now with that line, but he can't have it both ways.

Bush championed this war, told us we were in national peril unless we fought it, said things about "mushroom clouds" and arrogantly defied virtually every other country on the planet. He allowed us to villify the French (who said there were no WMD) and he sent stooges Blair, Rice and Powell around to trade their good names for his cause. He wheeled in Rumsfeld, who fired 40 generals to get to the one who would fight the war his way, on the cheap. He sacrificed the careers of 250000 guardsmen by basically shanghaiing them into service against the existing enlistment laws. He took a very very fine Army and nearly broke it trying to shore up the cartoon republic he built with scotch tape and spit. He gave weapons to poorly trained rabble who turned around and used them to kill their countrymen, and then he calls them "terrorists". He strutted across that carrier deck in the uniform he refused to wear when it was his turn in combat.

This is Bush's war, and he will wear it around his neck for centuries.
