staying the course
With 58% of the US disapproving of Bush's handling of Iraq and a steady torrent of Iraqi and American casualties, Dubya seems to have finally realized that something needs to change. That's why he announced, in a press conference yesterday, that he's going to keep doing exactly the same thing.
His argument, though, is sound: Terrorists are converging on Iraq [because the US invaded the country on completely false pretenses and is now refusing to leave], so we need to stick around to fight 'em.
My favourite quote? "So long as I'm the president, we will stay, we will fight, and we will win the war on terror." Huzzah! How I look forward to a day when terror is vanquished, when the Prime Minister of Terror lays his arms at Dubya's feet and marches proudly to the gallows. For then shall the terrible Terror Army Squads be no more and we can live in peace once again.
