Shocker, I know...but it seems the President lied to the American people last week when he said the coming troop escalation was all about fighting the insurgency in Iraq (with a "Q").
Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters at NATO this morning that the new troops are being sent to fight Iran (with an "N").
The Guardian newspaper says Gates' remarks have fuelled speculation that Mr. Bush "is softening up the American public for possible action against Tehran."
The number of troops in Iraq isn't enough to win the war there, and the incompetent American President wants to send additional troops to Iran?!?
So, basically it boils down to this: Hundreds - perhaps thousands - more American soldiers will lose their lives so that George W. Bush can prove he has a bigger Johnson than Lyndon Johnson (and from various reports, Johnson was quite blessed in that department).
Memo to George: Mr. President, Johnson may have had his johnson, but you sir are just a big dick.
