Sometimes I get them mixed up.

In a speech today at the North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego, President Bush once again misled the American people on the origins of the Iraq war and the future of the Iraqi government. Speaking to a military audience commemorating the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, the president again implied a direct connection between Iraq and the events of September 11.

“As we mark this anniversary, we are again a nation at war. Once again, war came to our shores with a surprise attack that killed thousands in cold blood,” said Bush. “Once again, we face determined enemies who follow a ruthless ideology that despises everything America stands for. Once again, America and our allies are waging a global campaign with forces deployed on virtually every continent. And once again, we will not rest until victory is America's and our freedom is secure.”

And once again, we have a President of proven courage who hoped to settle international difficulties through the United Nations. But who worked himself so hard during a war against those who had attacked us, despite having already lost the use of his legs, that it killed him.

A President who said:

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.

In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.

How fortunate we are to...oh wait, that's not Bush, that's Franklin D. Roosevelt. Bush is the coward who speaks of a war against a country that wasn't any threat to us whatsoever as a noble cause. One for which other peoples sons and daughters should die while he and his remain in perfect health to play baseball, and other useful things like that. The one who is intent on destroying a program that other guy started to keep Americans out of poverty, and who has alienated the nations of the world.

There's no comparison.
