I need to point you to this brilliant analysis of the “current situation” by Joshua Marshall.
Joshua has perfectly articulated the feeling I have every time I hear the president speak. When he distills the President’s speech from the other night down to its essence, it reads like the babbling nonsense it is:
“Why are things spinning out of control in Iraq? Why are we losing the struggle for hearts and minds in the country? Because we stand for freedom. And the terrorists hate freedom. And they’re attacking us because we’re bringing freedom to Iraq. And terrorists hate freedom. Therefore they hate us. And since they hate us so much of course they fight us.”
As Mr. Marshall aptly points out, this would be funny if not for the fact that “this…inane mumbojumbo…will — perhaps literally — get us all killed.”
Of course he says it all much better than me, so please read it.
even with the adminstration’s comments on dead reagan, they get the word freedom in there every chance they get. pathetic.
