AWOL Junior gives his big hero speech today.

[democrank]

Get out the flags. Gear up to cheer. Today, AWOL Junior is going to teach American Legion members a thing or two about war. Seriously. This spoiled bully, who never bothered to honor his own National Guard commitment, is going to wrap his pampered butt in a flag and chop at the air with the same hands that, back during the Vietnam War, checked the DO NOT VOLUNTEER FOR OVERSEAS box.

Bush`s speech follows Rumsfeld`s tirade. Rumsfeld, a man who has never seen combat, followed Cheney, the warmonger who received five deferments during the Vietnam War. Here you have it, folks. The Republican Party`s top three experts on war-making, not cutting and running like the decorated John Murtha. If this isn`t twisted, I don`t know what is. The next step will probably be the unveiling of triplet bronze busts of these American heroes, uniformed, flagged and combat ready.

How much longer are we going to tolerate this sickening crap? Are these guys ever going to peer into a casket and view their lifeless child fresh home from the invasion of Iraq? Are they ever going to grab on to their child`s war wheelchair and help him into the bathroom? Will they ever don defective vests or drive the lead Hummer on some Iraqi death road? Will their homes be blown up or their kid`s legs be blown off? No. They`re too valuable. Too important.

Bring it on, Bush. Bring on that big hero speech about staying the course until we "win." Stand up there and highlight your lies with that puff and swagger. Stick your chest out and bellow at us about courage. Maybe it will take the edge off the fact that you`ve never been weaker. You are, after all, the president who decided to play a guitar while people were drowning in their attics. Same hero, different day.
