The Emperor is Naked

In Bush's speech today, he once again how out of touch he is with the reality in Iraq and the war on terrorism. He continues to assert that Iraq is part of the war on terror without mentioning that he is responsible for this. He speaks of the "clear path forward", when the Administration cannot even produce a coherent and consistent statement about the state and the expected length of the occupation. Cheney asserted that the insurgency is "in it's final throes" while Rumsfeld suggested that it may take 5, 6, 8, 10 or 12 years to defeat the insurgency. Every day, more people die and less order and reconstruction occurs. It is time to get out and acknowledge the illegality of the war in the first place and hold the Administration to account for the tremendous death and destruction that they caused in a domestic and international setting.
