If Chewbacca Lives On Endor...
I think President Bush is starting to employ The Chewbacca Defense against the storm of criticism arising from the abuse of Iraqi detainees by U.S. soldiers. Just the other day, we were hearing about how upset the President was with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld over the matter. Today, however, President Bush came out praising Rumsfeld, indicating that the secretary was "doing a superb job," and that the country owes Rumsfeld "a debt of gratitude." What?!?!?!?
Not to be flip, but what recent accomplishment merits the gratitude of the american public? Dragging us into another intractable conflict in the Middle East? Failing to deliver Osama bin Laden? Placing Iraq under military leadership so weak that it was unable to prevent even the most ridiculous violations of the Geneva Convention?
Mister President, you're not making any sense.
