Bush is a Liar

Hey, looks like George Bush is a liar after all. Despite his saying that the lack of a war funding bill that met his approval would be the reason that troops would have to serve longer tours of duty, it appears that isn’t the case. As is clearly show in this article the tours have already been extended to 15 months from the normal 12 month tour thus exposing our troops to another 3 months thus increasing their risk of death obviously as well all the other fun side effects of this ill conceived war.
Now I doubt that with this increase that the down time at home for training and re outfitting will also be extended. These wars are taxing the US military beyond its capabilities and the ruling elite (that’s what they are) do not care. They simply sit in the Whitehouse and decide that extending the tours is good because the war they started is not going as planned due to their mismanagement.

For another great example of how Bush's war is not going well check out this article. This article highlights how George W Bush is seeking to appoint a "war czar" to lead the efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. First of all, who even has a czar anymore is this pre World War I Russia? Obviously the war is going swimmingly as the top 3 choices for the post have all turned it down. With one commander, Retired Marine Gen. John Jack Sheehan, a former top NATO commander who rejected the White House overture, told the Post: ''The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going.''(New York Times). Obviously this war is being led right from the top down as he is alluding to the fact that the administration has no clue what its doing.
But hey, as long as we "stay the course" everything will be alright. Seems to be we've been hearing the same line of crap for the last 4 years and all it’s gotten us is over 3000 good Americans dead and creating many new enemies for us based on our heavy handed unilateral strategy to take care of a problem. I bet Bush can’t wait to get out of office and hand this problem off to someone else.
