Why does bush warmonger when even his own blood does not believe

And when we do, they'll be mostly civilians killed right here at home.

Now, that's a good point to ponder and one that should drive us to continue our quest to destroy the enemy before such can be accomplished.

Tell me, is this "rhetoric"?:

Virulent anti-Israel sentiment remains strong in the hard-line circles from which Ahmadinejad emerged to win the presidential election in June. "Israel Should Be Wiped Off the Map" was the slogan draped on a Shahab-3 ballistic missile during a military parade in Tehran a month ago. Six of the missiles, which, with a 1,250 mile range, could reach Israel, were the high point of the parade. "We Will Trample America Under Our Feet," read another banner.

The numbers put things in perspective. All of them were precious lives given so that others might continue to live in freedom. Their loss was mourned but their scarifice was honored.

The MSM distorts the numbers because they don't like war and they don't like Bush:

On the third anniversay of the Iraq war, the MSM keeps bombarding us with stories and statistics trying to compare this war to the carnage in Vietnam, trying to make us think that US soldiers are dying at an alarming number due to Bush's failures.

While every lost serviceman and servicewoman is certainly tragic and should be mourned, the actual statistics tell quite a different tale from the MSM and Democratic doom-and-gloom outlook. Comparing the numbers of lost US military personnel to past years, and past presidential terms, may even be a shock to supporters of the war.

They parse the numbers to death, they're trying to do what they did in Vietnam, but it's not working so well with an all-volunteer army.

It's too late, Clinton's ignoring/appeasing the terrorists just made them stronger, his old party is all over the place on Iraq, but:

WASHINGTON — Just hours after floating the idea of cutting $20 billion from President Bush's $142 billion request for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan next year, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad was overruled by fellow Democrats today.

"It's nothing that any of us are considering," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters.

Conrad's trial balloon to cut war funding would have affected the budget year beginning Oct. 1 and was separate from the ongoing debate over Bush's $100 billion request for immediate supplemental funding for Iraq and Afghanistan.

Even the Pentagon acknowledges that its $142 billion 2008 war funding request is simply a best guess of Iraq and Afghanistan costs, and Conrad's proposal didn't earn rebukes from Budget Committee Republicans.

But the speed with which it was rejected by his colleagues seemed to reflect Democrats' sensitivity to any accusations of giving shortshrift treatment to funding for troops in battle.

They wouldn't pull the trigger, maybe they even realize that that this is about more than rhetoric.
