I think Bush should give it up. I think he should drop this war Crap. He's wasting our time. He's wasting our money. He's feeding us a Line of bull. It's not doing anyone any good but the guys who sell the Apache helicopters. Now i admit those are pretty kewl little devices. I mean there so thin...and small and hard to hit if you throw a tomatoe at them. But WTF. Give me a Break. Georgie. You'r wasting our time. You'r right brain rhetoric ain't gonna be supported forever. What are we really getting from all this war. The satisfaction of bombing sand? WTF...

Let's examine the evidence. Point 1. Here's what Bush said: "My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. (Applause.) It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific. And in that peace, the world has witnessed the broad advance of prosperity and democracy throughout East Asia." Point 2: The White House transcript changed "century and a half" to "half a century." Point 3: The possibility exists that GWB was thinking back to Commodore Perry, not MacArthur, but ... whoops ... he forgot about those two big bombs we dropped on Japan in 1945. Point 4: George also screwed up devaluation vs. deflation, so his "century and a half" gaffe is consistent with the devaluation-deflation screw-up. Point 4: Rumsfeld today formally disbanded the Office of Strategic Influence. In other words, we won't be feeding false information to foreign journalists because the president already is doing such a good job all by his lonesome.
