Bring 'Em Home, Mr. President

Well, well, well... seems as if Bush has realized the power of actually appearing before the people. The man seems to have given more press conferences the last two weeks than he did his whole first term.

In a recent one, Bush finally took responsibility for going to war in Iraq. And admitted that the decision was partly based on false information. Wow. Cause I didn't know that already. Thanks for catching up Bush. Nice to know you're up to date on what the hell is happening in the world.

While some might think that this is perhaps the sign of a new, humble, accountable President, I say bollocks. This admission is because his ratings are dropping, over 2000 American soldiers have been killed, and people are pissed at him. When he finally took responsibility for Katrina, his critics backed off a bit. You don't think this is the same ploy?

Here's the kicker, though. Even if you do believe Bush is being sincere, that he really claims responsibility for sending our men and women into Iraq, well guess what? He sure as hell ain't taking responsibility for bringing them home. At the Pageant of Peace, the White House's annual Christmas festival, Bush led a prayer. Yeah, I know, separation of Church and State is really entrenched, isn't it? But that wasn't even what pissed me off. It was this:

We ask for God to watch over our men and women in uniform who are serving overseas. Their families miss them -- hold a seat open for them -- and pray for their safe return.

So, Bushy, you're responsible for sending Americans over there, but God is responsible for bringing them home? Wow. It's amazing how delusional you really are, Mr. President. How exceedingly trapped in your six years of lies and trickery you have become. Because, if I'm not mistaken, you and your Republican cronies have the power to bring our soldiers home.

All you have to do, Mr. President, is say four simple words...

The War is Over.
