Bad blogging day.
Sorry, I'm not really feeling the fire today. It suddenly occurred to me what Bush's "we're staying in Iraq so long as I'm president" really means.
Loose math: 2 years and four and a half months left. That's roughly 865 days. At the current rate of 2 deaths a day, that would mean 1,730 more dead soldiers although it would likely be more as a pullout won't be instant upon his leaving office.
1,730+ soldiers that are alive today, walking around right now, that won't be when Bush leaves office.
(13,500 more wounded.)

And all the reasons Bush gave for us going there he has now publicly admitted were false (saddam had ties to alQaeda, 9/11, the whole WMD), yet it still is being called part of the GWOT, even though we're not fighting terrorists but an insurgency. So what are these soldiers dying for, Mr. President? If you wanted to fight them there you should have just stayed in ASfghanistan and left Iraq alone.

That's why I'm so down.
They're now dying for his legacy.
