Bush says IEDs (those improvised roadside bombs) are the #1 threat to Iraq's future

Right, according to George Bush, the problem with the war in Iraq is NOT:

1. It was based on a lie.
2. It was unwise to begin with.
3. It was unnecessary.
4. We didn't send enough troops.
5. The majority of Iraqis now want us out.
6. We had no plan for victory after the fall of Baghdad.
7. We have no plan for exit.
8. The only reason Bush is keeping us there is his ego.

No, the number one threat to Iraq's future isn't everything Bush has done wrong conducting this war. The number one threat to Iraq's future are IEDs, "improvised explosive devices," those handmade explosive devices the opposition are putting alongside the roads to blow up our troops.

Now, sure, those devices are doing their damage. But we're to believe that if we found the "cure" for the IEDs the opposition wouldn't find some other way of fomenting civil war (oh, I don't know, how about blowing up mosques?).

Then again, I have my own theory as to why Bush is now calling IEDs the number one threat to Iraq's future.

He meant to say IUDs.
