Yes indeed, that's the
title on the story that some pyschic at the AP has written about the speech that Bush will give tonight.
How very special of an AWOL National Guardsman to tell our soldiers, Iraqi citizens and their families that their deaths and severe injuries are "worth it" to carry out his neocon delusions.
Sorry for the short diary, but I must go take lots of aspirin now in an attempt to stop my head from exploding.
Back now. Throbbing head better. Anyway, a couple of choice snippets from the article previewing the speech:
"Like most Americans, I see the images of violence and bloodshed. Every picture is horrifying and the suffering is real," Bush said, according to excerpts released ahead of time by the White House. "It is worth it."
There's really nothing you can add, no cogent analysis to make of that level of fantasy. I am heartened by these paragraphs:
Bush's repeated acknowledgment of death and difficulty came less than a month after Vice President
Dick Cheney proclaimed the Iraq insurgency "in the last throes."

Public patience is even being tested here in military-friendly North Carolina, where signs along the streets of nearby Fayetteville show steadfast support of the armed forces. In the past year, 100 troops from the several North Carolina bases have died in the war, trailing only the toll from California, according to an Associated Press analysis. A new statewide poll released Tuesday showed that, for the first time, more North Carolinians think the war is not worthwhile than think it is.
Will "it's worth it" overcome that level of public skepticism? I didn't think even Miserable Failure could display that level of crass stupidity.
