Just don't call it Viet-Raq

In his speech yesterday on the war in Iraq, President Bush continued to make the 9/11-terrorist drumbeat, conventiently ignoring the fact that Iraq became a terrorist haven after the US invasion. Presisdent Bush is apparently also confused by the chicken-egg conundrum.

President Bush also did not set a timetable for US withdrawal from Iraq in order to avoid cases of "senioritis" among soldiers stationed there.

President Bush reportedly does not understand why the National Guard has a hard time recruiting, after all it was once a great place to avoid a war.

One means of increasing the number of military recruits would be a military draft. A draft, however, would involve Senators and Congressman creating loopholes for their own families, loopholes that might hurt their chances in 2008.
