The Iraq Policy is Served by Latest Anti-Bush Craze

The latest redux of the argument from the mainstream press and Democrats that Bush "lied" about intellgence prior to the invasion of Iraq reminds me about similar stories such as the one about FDR knowing in advance that Pearl Harbor would be attacked or that Lincoln never wanted to free the slaves.

Like FDR and Lincoln, the conspiracy theories and controversy will remain forever. However, also like FDR and Lincoln, Bush will be regarded based on the eventual resolution of the Iraq policy rather than the anti/pro Bush debate.

Bush supporters and supporters of the war in Iraq should actually take comfort in the new line of attacks by the press and Democrats - mostly because the latest anti-Bush rhetoric is not actually anti-war. In all of the latest arguments, the one about ending the war now or withdrawing has fallen off the radar. The "Bush Lied" attack therefore does not endanger the ultimate policy goal of defeating the terrorists in Iraq.

Some Democrats now argue for impeachment. Who knows, maybe Democrats and the mainstream media will succeed at getting Bush. In the meantime, however, the Iraq policy will succeed and human history will change forever.

Just imagine the stain on our nation if Bush were to get impeached for spreading freedom to the middle east. Other historical mistakes such as the poisoning of Socrates come to mind....
