Oh, the humanity

Today, in his speech to U.S. troops, Bush tried to maniplulate the commemoration of Veterans Day to prop up his approval ratings and try to throw sand in the eyes of those who suggest that he misled the country into war. Without even getting in a discussion of the faulty logic Bush used to attack those who disagree (and have facts to back up their assertions), it is rather low to use a speech on Veterans Day to save face and try to increase credibility. It is also shameful to use a backdrop of troops again to push his illegal war fought because he and the vice president misled Congress and Americans about the threat Saddam posed to the U.S. (it turned out there wasn't any threat to our country. Certainly less of a threat than Iraq poses to our security now.
