And Now, a Message from Our President

More propaganda (see 20 Aug radio address, it's short) and fear mongering. Doesn't the "taking it to the enemy (which didn't exist in Iraq before we got there by the way)," mean give terrorist more practice at killing our troops, which they get better at every day? Like a virus that mutates to defeat the latest vaccine, I think we should be worried more that the terrorists and their ilk are learning to be better killers of our best defense.

Slice:

In this war, our nation depends on the courage of those who wear the uniform. During the coming weeks, I will meet with some of the brave men and women who have been on the front lines in the war on terror. Next week in Idaho, I will visit with some of the fine citizen soldiers of the Idaho National Guard. I will also see the men and women of the Mountain Home Air Force Base who played a leading role in the air campaign in Afghanistan after the September the 11th attacks. I will thank all of them for their service in the war on terror and I will thank the families who make their essential work possible.

Our troops know that they're fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere to protect their fellow Americans from a savage enemy. They know that if we do not confront these evil men abroad, we will have to face them one day in our own cities and streets, and they know that the safety and security of every American is at stake in this war, and they know we will prevail.

At least now we know one of the espoused reasons for going to Idaho is to visit troops and talk with families. No doubt, Cindy Sheehan isn't on the "must talk to" list for W so he has to make it look like he is compasionate some how. Just wondering what the real reason is behind his trek to Idaho - I mean, there are National Guard Units in Texas too. Why go all the way to Idaho?

Meanwhile, he should be saddling up and heading out for a nice romp around the Crawford Ranch with Lance.
