Bush Escalates Bitter Iraq War Debate

Bush Escalates Bitter Iraq War Debate. That's what the headline says. The article goes on to say "They spoke the truth then and they're speaking politics now," Bush charged.

A fair statement if it were true. Unfortunately, he's got it backwards. They were, stupidly, speaking politics then and they're speaking the truth now, but only because it's politically expedient. They, who let Bush have his way, deserve to take some heat, but let's get it right.

They're not alone though. In my mind, the media, who did not want to be seen as unpatriotic, also gave President Pinocchio a free pass. I don't hear him complaining about that.
