The War President!

@ 07:41 PM (26 months, 12 days ago)

So check out this headline from the Associated Press (AP) today:

Bush promotes war, candidate in Missouri

George Bush, a guy who admitted to his professor at Harvard Business School that he used his father's name and connections to avoid going to Vietnam, is getting off on this war; on sending our men and women to die for a lie.

Just the very idea of a president "promoting" war sickens me, but that is exactly what Bush is doing.  How about promoting peace, prosperity and stability? 

And here's an oldie but goodie:

"I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office, in foreign-policy matters, with war on my mind."

-GWB 2/8/2004 on Meet The Press

One other note to Bushie and his fellow war hawks: "stay the course" is NOT a policy!  So just what is your policy in Iraq?  Accusing the Democrats of waving the "white flag of surrender" is not a policy either.  So just what is our Commander-in-Chief's policy on Iraq?
