Bush's New (Old/Never Had One) Iraq Strategy

Think Progress rips it apart piece by piece. For those of you who do not have the time or the interest to read the entire thing, Bush's latest speech is nothing more than a recycled string of consonants and vowels from his previous Iraq speeches. He has neither a plan nor a clue about what is actually happening in that hellhole.

Of course he continues to falsely characterize our troops and use their sacrifices to further his own cause, and he has the gall to do it while hiding behind our soldiers. It is nothing short of appaling and pathetic, and nothing more or less than I have come to expect from Bush.

Despite the fact that Democrats are not in control of any branch of government and cannot make any strategy or policy, at least Jack Murtha has a sound and reasonable plan. You want the Democrats to take care of you, as you know they will have to once things get so unbelievably bad? Fine. We will do that too, even though it is not our job right now. It blows my mind how right wingers and the media try to lay the blame for any of these tragedies at the feet of the Democratic party.
