Bush wants more blood

President Bush stands his ground in insisting that his invasion into Iraq was worth it. He says:

“I keep reminding the American people that the stakes are worth it. It is worth it to help Iraq succeed. It is worth it to have a democracy in the Middle East. It is worth it to show other reformers and people who want to live in a free society what is possible.”

Never mind the thousands of lives lost in the last four years, the continued anarchy in Iraq, the never-ending blood-spilling amongst its bitterly divided citizens, the appalling low popularity of the president Bush in his country and the world and the global protest against continued US troops presence in Iraq.

Never mind about all of these as long as the president feels it was worth it. After all why wouldn’t he say so - it was his war and he has to make it a success, no matter how damaging it turns out to be.
