fight for whose freedom?
from Reuters, Bush's words as he signed yet another Pentagon spending bill (thank you greatgrandkids - hope you don't mind paying for this! Oh well, you don't get a choice, do ya!):
"With this legislation, America's military will know that their country stands behind them as they fight for our freedom and as they spread the peace," Bush told an audience including Pentagon officials and veterans.
Funny, I thought we were in Iraq to fight for the freedom of the Iraqi people from Saddam's tyranny. And I just love that W keeps pushing the tired old oxymoron of "fighting for peace".
