Tough times for President Bush means more speeches.. more speeches in front of captive military audiences. I'm sick of it. The military does not belong to his political point of view, and should not be relegated as a back drop to his political grandstanding. Let this gadfly get in front of a real audience, of real citizens. More tough talk on staying the course in Iraq. I tell you.. we'll never be out of there, you see.. it's about securing our vital corporate interests, not about freeing a nation.
