I was listening to “Sunday Edition” on the way to church. There was a story about President Bush’s appearance on “Meet The Press.” GWB wanted voters, when they go to the polls in Nov, to remember he is a “wartime President.”
There is a dark joke in Courthouses about a man who killed both his parents, then asked the judge to go easy on him as he is an orphan.
Yes, we were attacked on 9/11, but not by Iraq. My sisters and brothers in the military are being killed daily. GWB would not be a “wartime President” if he had not declared war, and gotten us into this unjust and immoral mess.
I hope voters do remember the war in Nov, but aslso the reasons GWB is a “wartime President.”
