Cue the crooner: Where is Bing Crosby when we need him?

Bush said 5,700 U.S. forces would be home by Christmas


(MyWay)


The damn thing is, these troops who are coming home aren't "coming home," they're just going back into the rotation - which, true enough, will make things marginally better for troops whose at-home "dwell time" between Iraq stints is now mercilessly short, but it won't keep them from winding up back in Iraq. This is not like in the movies, where the captain says to some hapless dogface, "Your war's over, Joe." This is "Seeya next time around."

"The more successful we are, the more American troops can return home," said Commander Guy, calling his little flim-flam scheme "return on success."

There is no freakin thing I can think of to call this guy Bush without being unfair to lunatics, morons, or assholes.
