Big surprise. The man who single-handedly oversaw America's greatest foreign policy defeat since Vietnam, has nothing left to say so he's repeating himself.
President Bush said critics of his Iraq policies are advocating a "cut and run" strategy that would draw terrorists to American soil.Unfortunately, George Bush is describing what very well may happen in Iraq because of his own incompetence.
"Leaving before we complete our mission would create a terrorist state in the heart of the Middle East, a country with huge oil reserves that the terrorist network would be willing to use to extract economic pain from those of us who believe in freedom," Bush said Wednesday.
"If we leave before the mission is complete, if we withdraw, the enemy will follow us home," he said.
Iraq is lost. It's over. Bush fought a war that was unnecessary and based on a lie and with no plan for victory and then he lost. So now he's going to have to withdraw, either sooner or later. It's only a question of when (Bush and the Republicans hope they can keep our troops there until the next president gets elected, so they won't get blamed - putting aside the fact that this war is costing us $100 billion a year and thousands of lives of US troops). And when he does withdraw from Iraq in shame Bush will have created the very terror state he's warning us about.
Bush has no policy to avoid cutting and running. And cutting and running is exactly what he will have to do because the Iraq war is over, Bush lost. Have you noticed how he constantly tells us how bad things are going to be if we lose, but he never actually tells us how he plans to win.
