President Spoiled W. Brat

E&P:

Meeting briefly with reporters Monday aboard Air Force One, Trent Duffy, a White House spokesman subbing for Scott McClellan, said that President Bush believes that those who want the U.S. to begin to change course in Iraq do not want America to win the overall "war on terror."

Duffy spoke on a day when a surprisingly large antiwar protest met the president during his stay in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he addressed a Veterans of Foreign Wars convention.

Speaking to reporters, Duffy said that Bush "can understand that people don't share his view that we must win the war on terror, and we cannot retreat and cut and run from terrorists, but he just has a different view. He believes it would be a fundamental mistake right now for us to cut and run in the face of terrorism, because if we've learned anything, especially from the 9/11 Commission Report, it is that to continue to retreat after the Cole, after Beirut and Somalia is to only empower terrorists and to give them more recruiting tools as they try to identify ways to harm Americans.


No, to continue to kill Iraqi civilians and attempt to create an American empire in the Middle East emboldens terrorists.

Bush is now no longer just delusional, he's dangerous. He's branded everyone who disagrees with him as an enemy of the state, at a time when most people who still live in consensus reality can see that what he's doing is Not Working. This includes people like Chuck Hagel and other Republicans who are still sane.
