Increasing desperation from Bush

Have we ever had a president who so lacked the dignity of office?

Campaigning for Republicans, President Bush said Monday that "terrorists win and America loses" if opponents of his Iraq policy triumph in next week's elections.

Then there's the more subtle Cheney (for once.) The violence in Iraq increased because the "insurgents" wanted to influence the US election. (And by connection help the Democrats. So if you vote for Democrats....)

Notice the clever way this extends the explanation for the violence. Remember just a week ago it was Ramadan. Then Ramadan ended, but the violence didn't. So, now, Cheney supplies an excuse through the election...

I can't wait til they tell me the violence will continue through January because the Iraqis want to influence the Super Bowl.
