Dubya craps on history. Again.

by: DottieG

Thu Jul 05, 2007 at 01:15:17 PM EDT



Dubya misused the American Revolution in a July 4th address before members of the Air National Guard and their families in West Virginia, in an attempt to justify continuing the carnage in Iraq. 

Once again he played the fear card, saying that "If we were to quit Iraq before the job is done, the terrorists we are fighting....  would follow us here, home," he said.  Perhaps he hasn't heard about the recent car bombs in England and Scotland--after all, his staff does a very effective job in filtering out the facts his brain can't handle. 

"For the security of our citizens, we must support the Iraqi government and we must defeat al-Qaeda in Iraq," said Bush, who still won't admit that al-Quaeda wasn't there before we invaded.

The president began by comparing today's American soldiers to those who fought in the Revolutionary War.  "We give thanks for all the brave citizen-soldiers of our Continental Army who dropped pitchforks and took up muskets to fight for our freedom and liberty and independence," Bush said.

DottieG :: Dubya craps on history. Again.
Of course we're grateful to those who fought in the American Revolution.  Of course they were fighting "for our freedom and liberty and independence."  And of course we're grateful to those who put their lives on line to serve in the armed forces--in fact, South Plainfield just buried another victim of Dubya's war, Sgt. Trista Moretti, killed in Iraq on June 25. 

Don't misunderstand me: I don't support violence, here or anywhere else.  But if America were invaded by a foreign power, wouldn't we fight back?

Dubya and his cronies have soiled our flag by wrapping themselves in it while breaking the law and violating the Constitution.  There is no limit to their shamelessness.
