If you wonder why Bush is so stubborn in his determination to hand over Iraq to Iraqis by 6/30, consider the fact that it is far better to draw out the enemies of such a government now, eliminate them immediately while they are relatively weak, rather than wait for them to get outside support, gather strength, etc. Kill them off now, while they're young and small.
Aha, I see it all now, this is a brilliant move, it wasn't Osama exercising "mind control" over Bush, chanting "Invade Iraq, Invade Iraq," this is Bush exercising mind control over the enemies of democratic governance, saying "Fight now and die, you evil militants."
Good idea. Brilliant. I should have seen it earlier. The guy is like a genius.
After all, there are only about 5000 or so of "them." So our generals tells us. Should be no problem to get 'em. Must be less that 2000 by now, having captured or killed so many of the bad guys. |
