That Bush has been bad does not show that Kerry would not have been worse. And I do not see lots of troops coming home. I just see more and more tragedies happen in Iraq. And I also know how billions of dollars were wasted in Iraq that Joseph E. Stiglitz told us: <a href="http://dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=93000&ru=279" rel="nofollow">http://dealstudio.com/searchde.....038;ru=279</a> , and it seems that the Bush administration makes no mention of the long term costs of the injured soldiers returning from Iraq.</p> Like all of us, he had to choose between one or the other.

Meanest to the troops (shall I count the ways?)

Meanest to all minority groups
Meanest towards future generations who will have to pay for Bush’s War
Meanest towards our “allies”

… and guilty of attempted meanness towards
* future social security recipients

It’s be a great talking point for bringing back the draft to support his 100-year occupation, and all the other things he says we need the military for.

Next up…Iran!
