If you wandered into a den of rattlesnakes, and suddenly found them crawling all over your feet, what would you do?

Well, you wouldn't start stomping. Because you wouldn't get out alive. You would stand very still, to avoid provoking the vipers, and carefully back out of your predicament.

American soldiers are in a viper's den in Iraq, and one is also developing in Afghanistan. George Bush, who sent them there, stands at a safe distance from the snakes, shouting: "Stomp 'em! Stomp 'em! Smoke 'em out of their holes and stomp 'em!" . . "we'll accept nothing less than complete victory."

Easy to say for a man with his own multi-million dollar personal army of taxpayer-funded bodyguards.

Wow, your argument has no foundation, your comparison to a multi-million dollar personal army of taxpayer funded body guards, is at best an attempt to confuse the issue, since each and every president has these body guards, including "former president bill clinton"


Personally I commend our soldiers who have risked life and liberty to fight snakes, and yes if we do not fight them there they will be here.

I like the idea of fighting them over there rather than in my front yard.

but thats just me, If you have your way you will need to invest in security wire and 10 foot fences.

Sort of like your arguments about Iraq...

Such simple-minded analogy won't go very far regardless how original it is! Our troops are not defenseless as you pictured and Bush is not sending them to a death march. The situation is more complicated than anyone could imagine. What if Bush didn't go to the war? Is the world better off then? I don't know, but don't tell me YOU know.
