U.S. president set to link conflict to postwar Germany, Japan

"COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - Linking the wars of his tenure to the deadliest one in history, President Bush is asking the country to commit anew to postwar rebuilding.

In an address scheduled for Wednesday to more than 1,000 graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Bush frames their futures by drawing back to the World War II generation. He links the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to postwar Germany and Japan six decades ago.

"America has assumed this obligation before," Bush said in prepared remarks released by the White House. "After World War II we helped Germany and Japan build free societies and strong economies. These efforts took time and patience, and as a result Germany and Japan grew in freedom and prosperity and are now allies of the United States."

The result, Bush says, was "generations of security and peace" in the United States..."

1. will he remind them that scott mcclellan, his former spokesperson, said this is an 'unecessary war'?

[islandmkl]

2. well, except for the MINOR fact that Germany and Japan STARTED the war...

oh wait...is somebody going to come over here and help us "...build free societies and strong economies."??

and he ain't done yet....

3. He's about to ask Congress for another half Billion in tax dollars for the Iraqi police

...while at the same time he's cut funding for domestic US crime-fighting programs sharply.

Did the US stop arresting criminals while we were helping to rebuild Germany and Japan?

4. So in this battle for the soul of the Earth....

...why do we only have less than 200,000 service members directly involved. Last I checked, during WWII the entire fucking country was mobilized with more than three million men in uniform.

Go fuck yourself and the hobby horse you rode in on, President Insane Fuckface.

5. GOOP Revisionist History

What's sad is that I see people already buying this shit. They can't get a straight answer as to why this country got into this war for profit, thus hang onto these little turds thrown out by the regime as "justification"...especially the corporate media.

In the parellel universe...the ones the right wing live in...they still see nothing wrong with what they did and those who criticize as being "un-American". Boooshie's lived in his bubble all his life and has never been held accountable for his wrecklessness...if anything there are those who still "admire" this shitstain when he "stand up tough"...no matter if its yet another lie.

Right now, let him lie and revise...hopefully it will drain away enough votes from Gramps to destroy his inept and corrupt party and then these statements can be used as a verbal record for future war crimes trials.

6. Bush didn't learn to never assume

because it makes an ass out of u and me.

7. So where is the draft

war-time mobilization, declaration of war, rationing etc....post-war reconstruction doesn't count...

[sinkingfeeling]

8. If Germany and Japan grew in 'freedom' so much, why do we still have military bases there after 60

years? Also, why doesn't Bush remember the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, and the Cold War, not to mention dozens of 'special ops' campaigns to overthrow governments in dozens of countries, our escapades and meddling in a couple of dozen more?

P.S. on edit: How can there be post-war reconstruction when there wasn't a 'war' (just an invasion and occupation)? Shouldn't that be post-occupation reconstruction?
