''A clear path to ruin''

"Bush still won't level with American public--Maybe it was just a case of achieving critical propagandistic mass, because George Bush's speech on Iraq Tuesday night didn't really say anything new. Or maybe that was the problem. But geez, did it piss me off.
How many times must we hear this president, this administration, use 9-11 as a suggested free pass for pursuing any half-assed policy that comes to mind? How often is our intelligence going to be insulted by the vaguely racist insinuation that any war against a Muslim nation is justified because the 9-11 terrorists were Muslim? How many more American soldiers are going to die while this White House insists, against all evidence, that there's a "clear path to victory"? How many more Iraqis must die to sate the stubbornness of political leaders halfway around the world?

I'm sick of it."-from the post on Working for Change, by another Seattle writer, Geov Parrish.
