At least, that’s the latest proclamation from our president.
President Bush asserted Friday that critics who claim the Iraq war has made America less safe embrace “the enemy’s propaganda.”
So now, not only does Bush insinuate that Iraq supported the terrorists, but that any critic of the war on Iraq also supports terrorists. Trying to justify his war through lies is bad enough, but to suggest that his critics harbor terrorist sympathies goes well beyond too far.
What else can you do when you’ve just released a government document that purports an increase in terrorist recruiting thanks to the war? Here’s a suggestion: admit the mistake. If not that, then he at least ought to apologize for today’s statement. To associate criticism with treason flies in the face of all that is moral, and he should be ashamed.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
I’m seriously afraid for the day when I am grabbed in the middle of the night and taken to a secret prison. I figure the conversation would go something like this:
“What did I do wrong”
“You know how to make terrorist devices”
“But you guys taught me”
“That’s not my problem, now prepare to drown”
