Morality Cloak Shredded

The original title to this post was "QED" to make referrence to yesterday's post linking up with Kid Bastard at Moxie Grrrl. The media/news always seems to provide us with yet another example of W, Rove and Co's morality cloak getting shredded by their actions and rhetoric.

Slice:

Mr. Bush does not deny the greater potential of embryonic stem cells: he says his decision was compelled by his belief that retrieving stem cells from the embryo destroys it, thereby resulting in the killing of a human being that cannot be justified no matter how vast the potential benefits.

End slice:

"...thereby resulting in the killing of a human being that cannot be justified no matter how vast the potential benefits" is the phrase that gets my britches in a twist. If that is what he truly believes, why can't he work on a building a timeline for getting our military out of harms way sooner rather than later? Or, more importantly, why did he put them in Iraq in the first place?

Again, the ROI (or 'potential benefit') is not, was not, and never has been worth the outlay. Forget about morality, what I would enjoy is just one shred of integrity from this administration.
