Bush misunderestimates logic

hi all, i'm back, shoulder surgery went well.

Here's something I couldn't resist commenting on: "Bush: US must finish job in Iraq to honor the fallen."

Let's go through the list shall we...we went to Iraq because:
1) they contributed to 9/11
2) they have weapons of mass destruction
3) they were working with Al Queda
4) Saddam Hussein was really bad - (ok this one's true, but so are many of the dictators in Africa and we do nothing)
5) Iraqis were oppressed (also true, but they still are, and so are parts of America)
6) We must promote democracy (by conquering other countries and forcing it on them)
and now 7) to honor the people who have already died.

Wait, he really said that? Think about, now we are in Iraq letting more Americans die so that the people that already died will have died for something? That John Kerry quote keeps circling around in my brain - "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

I don't pretend to have the answers, but you don't continue to send people to die so that people who have already died will be honored.
