He Said, He Said

"Only a fool or a fraud sentimentalizes the merciless reality of war." -- John McCain, March 26, 2008

"I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed. It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger." -- George W. Bush, March 13, 2008

I agree with McCain on this one: Bush is either a fool or a fraud, and I do not regard those choices as being mutually exclusive. "Imbecile" should also be on the menu of descriptors for that putz.

I recommend that we change the law to permit Bush to enlist as a buck private in the Army. Let's have his sorry ass spend two or three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and then he can come back and tell us whether going to war is "romantic" or not.
