BUSH: stop comparing Iraq to WWII and yourself to FDR.

Bushies need to stop pretending and lying that Iraq is some kind of conventional war with a visible enemy (who attacked us) and battle lines draw. It is not at all. Comparing Iraq to WWII is just plain dishonest. It's much more like Vietnam meets Mogadishu with a bunch of oil-hungry Texas corporations trying to get rich fast.

In fact much of the problem has been the juicy targets our troops and interests offer over there for wannabe terrorists, luring them from all over to take shots at us. And Bush's line "bring it on!" set the stage, as did the disgrace of Abu Graiab.

Bushies are dead wrong that occupations of foreign countries are OK to keep going and going and going. Now Iraq has its government, and most of the troops it needs, so let's start declaring victory and withdrawing. NOW not a year from now. Because John Murtha is right.

Once we start withdrawing, a lot of the tension will subside. A lot of the insurgents will go home and stop attacking.
