Just because Bush and the GOP want to keep their heads in the sand doesn't mean that every other country is going to do the same. South Korea welcomed Bush with the news that they too will start trimming their troops next year. The Pentagon is trying hard to put a smiley face on the news but with the largest non-US country talking about cutbacks (the UK) and now the second largest (South Korea) Bush has a growing problem on his hands. Other countries have less at stake compared to the US not to mention substantial anti-war support at home and Americans are sick and tired of this mess that was billed as a walk in the park with flowers welcoming US troops.
It always comes back to Bush telling lies when he made his sales pitch to the US public and now it's impossible to escape the truth.
- WMD - nothing
- pre-war al Qaeda - not then, but now it's a breeding ground
- chemical weapons against civilians - with the Willy Pete story, this one is out also
- extensive use of torture - hello Mr Pot, meet Mr Kettle
