Frustrated by the complete ‘The Vietnamization of Iraq‘ and inspired by the "George Santayana" ignorance of the Democratic response to Bush’s speech today, yours truly took it upon himself to conjure up the parody book cover below and to the left.

Annapolis, MD – Speaking to an audience of students and faculty at the U.S. Naval Academy, George Bush re-emphasized that we are engaged in a war with a fanatical death cult who would interpret a cut-n-run policy as an invitation to bring their brand of politicizing to the U.S. With historical precedent on his side, the Command in Chief outlined a three part strategy for a successful conclusion to our presence in Iraq that included:
- a political component in which coalition forces would help Iraq build a free and democratic society;
- a security piece in which coalition troops would train Iraqi security forces well enough to guard their new found freedoms; and
- an economic element, a free market economy which will reward productivity while offering individuals a sense of personal destiny.

Frustrated by the lack of a Bush apology, Senator John F. Kerry went on the offensive to effect a semantic change to Murtha’s call for an immediate redeployment of U.S. troops from Iraq by replacing the phrase "deadline for withdrawal" with "timetable for success."
In a sound bite reminiscent of Richard Nixon’s "Peace with Honor" speech, Senator Hillary Clinton took Mr. Kerry’s word-games one step further when she demanded the President "present us with a plan for finishing this war with success and honor."
Ignoring the advice of fellow Democrat Joe Lieberman, Nancy Pelosi suggested the American people prefer we follow John Murtha’s call to remove U.S. Troops at "earliest possible date."
