Bush: "Every picture is horrifying - and the suffering is real"

DB: Bush clearly failed last night to demonstrate that either he or his advisors have any hope at all of getting to grips with the unraveling situation in Iraq. Freedom, OBL, 9/11, Terrorism, Sacrifice, Democracy and more freedom. 'They' are evil terrorist killers - the same ones who took down the twin towers - 'we' are a great nation fighting for the right
of every man - within reason - to be free (this commitment is not absolute and USA reserves the right to deny freedom, terrorise and torture wherever it is felt that the national interest is served).

We are selflessly trying to bring about a better world - and the cost is the sacrifice of our young - which is "worth it". The sacrifice of Iraqis did not figure as prominently.
