BUSH Shamelessly Hides BEHIND SOLDIERS on Veterans Day, and "Responds" to IRAQ WAR Critics

Bush gave an awkward 1001-Iraq-Excuses speech (again), read it here, if you must. It was the same old, same-old... Practically incoherent Bush nonsense: "Killers" (mean people) are the enemy, they hate LIBERTY, and they're gonna take your FREEDOMS if we don't stop the INSURGENT CIVIL-WAR he started in Iraq. (Mission, FUBAR.)
He basically USED the Soldier/Veteran-audience as human-shields: Hiding (from the critics) behind them... again! "Responding to critics," in a setting where the crowd is on-duty and has to respect the "Commander," (& can't heckle, or throw tomatoes) is hardly "responding"
to-critics, at all.
"ANOTHER tour? ...Thank you, Sir!"And, as if orange-juice-came-from-apples, he accused HIS CRITICS, of NOT SUPPORTING the TROOPS... again. He lied in the speech, several times, about welcoming criticism, apparently unaware of the criticism-bubble he lives in. Ask the Dixie-Chicks(pic), or Veteran Senator Max Cleland, or Ambassador Joe Wilson's CIA wife, how the war-critics were "welcomed"! The White House sent their surrogate Republican attack-machine after anyone who questioned their lies. Nevertheless, Bush had the GALL to say this today:

While it's perfectly legitimate to criticize my decisions or the conduct of the war,
(Ed. Note: Oh, really? No, it's NOT!)
...it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began.

In three years of Iraq speeches, resolutions, press-conferences, constantly-changing excuses, rationales, and lies about WHY we had to ATTACK IRAQ -- from the lead-up, thru deterioration into quagmire -- Bush has never explained it the same way! ~~Nukes, WMDs, Qeda/911-links, dictator-brutality, freedom for somebody, US-bases, oil prices(?), Israel, region-stabilization(hahaha!), etc.~~ Elitist-liar! The Bush Administration has been "rewriting the history of how that war began," since about September 12, 2001! Before it began! And he lectures us about "REWRITING HISTORY?" Damn... Okay, Herb.

UPDATE, 11/12: This Washington Post article, seems to concur. Excerpt:

Bush, in his speech Friday, said that "it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began." But in trying to set the record straight, he asserted: "When I made the decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power, Congress approved it with strong bipartisan support."

The October 2002 joint resolution authorized the use of force in Iraq, but it did not directly mention the removal of Hussein from power.

...Ah-hah! That's exactly the kind of CRAP they've been pulling all along, intentionally confusing issues, misleading the public!
