Bush: "America... a reluctant warrior" staggering hypocrisy!!

When Bush went to Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day, he uttered an amazing lie: "America," he said, "has always been a reluctant warrior."

:wtf:

=snip=

After the Downing Street memo and the mountain of other evidence that Bush, far from being reluctant, was overeager to go to war against Iraq, it takes a certain degree of chutzpah for him to stand before the nation and warble that lie.

At least 1,648 U.S. soldiers have died for his lack of reluctance.

When Bush talked about "completing the mission" in Iraq, American families with members in the armed forces or of draft age all across the country had to wonder whether their loved ones may ultimately die for Bush's lack of reluctance.

2. He tells us what we'd like to believe.

I wish it were true. But it isn't. And the gulf between the truth and the fiction is death.

3. The other thing that occurred to me when I heard that was

"Gee I wonder how the military feels about that comment?"

The last thing in the world that they AREN'T is reluctant!

4. It was a reluctant warrior most of the time but with Bush in charge-

we're the angry blackout drunk that assaults people in the pub just for the hell of it.

5. someone should make a table on this

take it from 1783 til the present and see who has been in more conflicts as a nation. I bet it's not even close even if you roll all the Indian Wars into one war. Christ, I bet we're even beating the pants off of Germany!

7. Reluctant tp Bush is synonymous with pre-emptive, I guess.
