The Truth...
According to George W. Bush, The only possibilities are victory or defeat,
"And we will settle for nothing less than complete victory," he said. Perhaps he should have explained how we were supposed to know when that happens. Who surrenders? Who is the enemy? Does he realize that he has lost a war? Or will he continue to fight?
“…the president has a tendency to over-simplify. What will probably happen is neither defeat nor victory, but a long, expensive, suppurating campaign...like a wound that never heals.”
Do you remember another of the president's simplifications, “You are either with us or against us;”?
I think it’s time we asked, who is “us”? Somehow, I have a feeling that it’s not you and me.
And speaking of expensive…During the two terms (only 5 years) of George W. Bush, the federal government has borrowed more money from foreign governments and banks than was borrowed by all American administrations put together. That’s from 1776 to the year 2000. And W is not through adding to that debt. He still has 3 years to go. More debt will be added to the national burden in the eight Bush years than in the previous 224.
