So, the GOP spin masters want me to believe George Bush has heart. I’ll buy that, at least provisionally. <\/p>\n
Bush said it was tough to send troops into harm’s way. Right, it should be. But coming from the “bring ’em on” President, I have the feeling that he was feeling more macho than concerned about sending in troops.<\/p>\n
Bush said that to call the war in Iraq “the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time” would be sending a mixed message. Well, maybe for him.<\/p>\n
And that’s the problem. Bush cannot admit that he made a terribly reckless and costly decision to fight an unnecessary, illegal and immoral war. And that his administration has conducted it incompetently. For him to admit this would be a mixed message: “I’m right. Whoops, I was terribly wrong.”<\/p>\n
But John Kerry has had a consistent message. And I believe it would hearten the troops to know they have a new commander-in-chief who has the sense to conduct the war properly and devise a realistic exit strategy. <\/p>\n
Which is why we need a new president. John Kerry will not make the foolish decisions Bush has made. <\/p>\n
