On a day (August 22) when 14 more U.S. soldiers and at least 100 Iraqis died, President Bush vowed war without end in Iraq. "As long as I am commander in chief we will fight to win," Bush told the Veterans of Foreign Wars conference in Kansas City. "I'm confident that we will prevail."
Illustrating just how endless a war he has in mind, Bush expressed regret that the U.S. had ever pulled out of Vietnam, and hailed the fact that the Pentagon still has tens of thousands of troops occupying South Korea.
For Bush, Cheney & Co., the only bad thing about the Vietnam war was that it ended too soon. In their imaginations, had they been in charge back in 1975 when the Vietnamese finally ended a century of foreign occupation, the war would still be going on today. After all, having already fought for so long, the Vietnamese were certainly not about to give up, even if the U.S. had not been forced to withdraw.
