Bush's "strategic victory'
Message to George W: Contact Earth if your spaceship ever comes near our planet.
We've known for quite a while that the president is way, way, out there in his own happy orbit, drifting far beyond the gravitational pull of reality. But, good grief, his recent declamation on the "Great and Glorious Success of America's Excellent Adventure in Iraq" took the meaning of delusional to new heights.
On the war's fifth anniversary, Bush traipsed over to the safe haven of the Pentagon to tell a captive audience that his invasion has been a "remarkable display of military effectiveness," and that his policy has placed America on the brink of a great "strategic victory."
Hmmm. Four thousand Americans dead; many thousands more maimed (and deprived of adequate care); a dollar cost reaching into the trillions; a devastated and broken society in Iraq; a gross stain on America's reputation; an energized enemy that makes our country more vulnerable to terrorists; an exhausted U.S. military; an Iraqi army that can't secure its own country; and an Iraqi government that is dysfunctional and perpetually dependent on American largesse.
Way to go, George.
