Bush - The Iraq War Is 'Only The Beginning'...

Posted on Monday, May 29 at 09:19 by Diogenes
"The war began on my watch, but it's going to end on your watch," Bush told the cadets. "By standing with democratic reforms across a troubled region, we will extend freedom to millions who have not known it and lay the foundation for peace for generations to come." Bush compared his moment in presidential history to that of President Truman's. "As President Truman put it towards the end of his presidency, 'When history says that my term of office saw the beginning of the Cold War, it will also say that in those eight years we set the course that can win it.' His leadership paved the way for subsequent presidents from both political parties - men like Eisenhower, Kennedy and Reagan - to confront and eventually defeat the Soviet threat," Bush said. "Today, at the start of a new century, we are again engaged in a war unlike any our nation has fought before, and like Americans in Truman's day, we are laying the foundations for victory." http://www.rense.com/general71/nsis.htm

    And still with a speach like that, Bush gets volunteers to do what he plans. One has to ask Americans if their attitude will change once Bush is gone. Personaly I don't think so. Americans don't like loosing and they send their kids to die for a make belief cause. No generation of American has been without some kind of skirmish. They like it. To them any kind of peace is like loosing.
