Another day, another admission from the Bush administration that its policies in the war on terror are not driven by how effective they are at stopping the enemy, but rather at how effective they are at stopping John Kerry.
Reuters reports that the Bush administration has come up with a "new plan" to quell Iraq's insurgency. Then buried in the story you read this:
Civilians involved in the process also told the Times that the new approach was formulated in part to counter criticism from President Bush's Democratic challenger, Sen. John Kerry, that the administration has no plan for Iraq.So the plan wasn't formulated simply to win the war on terror, to pacify Iraq, to spare the further deaths of US troops and innocent Iraqi civilians, no, the new Bush military plan in Iraq - the new plan to send our soldiers into war - is in part taking place to help Bush's re-election. Read that again. Some US soldiers are going to die in the next few weeks engaging the Iraqi insurgency, and their death is going to happen because George Bush needed them to put their lives in danger taking on the insurgency IN ORDER TO HELP BUSH'S NUMBERS.
