It’s always uplifting to listen to our president speak, especially when he’s talking about making sure our military is ready to stay in Iraq forever.  I don’t know where he plans on getting the troops (his stirring oratory aside).  There’s something like 2.1 million Americans in prison, so there must be a couple hundred thousand so desperate to get out that they’ll take a tour or two in Iraq.

Bush also said the insurgents are making things tough on our military over there.  See?  And you guys thought he wasn’t paying attention.  He also said, “Retreat would embolden radicals. It would hurt the credibility of the United States.”  Yeah.  Wouldn’t want that, would we?  Not when things are going so well.

I’m starting to think it’ll be a real miracle if we make it January 20, 2009. Hell, at this rate, we’ll be luck to make to New Year’s.
