Bring'em On

As things continue to get worse and worse, it seems appropriate to remind the world of what was perhaps the most offensive moment of the failed Bush presidency.

Anybody who wants to harm American troops will be found and brought to justice," Bush said. "There are some that feel like if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don't understand what they are talking about if that is the case. Let me finish. There are some who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on."

So, here we have the cowardly bully suggesting that somehow he, being a part of "we," taunting insurgents as if personally would somehow be part of the ensuing carnage. Of course, much like Reagan who believed he was a part of a liberation force in World War II, Bush apparently has a hard time understanding the difference between grabbing a gun, putting on a uniform, and getting shot at and, well, not doing those things. As he said:

I've been to war. I've raised twins. If I had a choice, I'd rather go to war.

And, as we know, we didn't have the force necessary to deal with security situation. Insurgents continue to bring it on. We've lost complete control of much of Iraq.
