Bush blathers

So what did I tell you last night? Unfortunately I'm right again.

In his weekly radio address, Bush argued that the war in Iraq will keep Americans safe for generations to come. He'll try to drive the point home with speeches in upcoming days in Utah and Idaho.

"Our troops know that they're fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere to protect their fellow Americans from a savage enemy," the president said in the recorded broadcast.

"They know that if we do not confront these evil men abroad, we will have to face them one day in our own cities and streets, and they know that the safety and security of every American is at stake in this war, and they know we will prevail."

I'm telling you this disconnect between the President and the Pentagon is starting to feel like a slow motion military coup in the making. Our troops know they are being screwed and who could blame them for being pissed. Of anyone, the military has suffered the most because of this hare-brained insistence on denying the realilty on the ground.
