Four more wars

Maureen Dowd makes a good call. SpongeBush.

He sure sounds like the ultimate optimist.

"Although his incendiary speech about "the untamed fire of freedom" has been widely interpreted as a code-red warning to both foes and friends, I wonder if the president knew he was literally promising to stamp out undemocratic governments across the globe, which would include some of our top allies. He probably thought it was a fancier way of repackaging the Iraq invasion, not as a failed search for W.M.D., but as a blow for freedom (a word used 27 times) and liberty (used 15 times)."

How many times did he mention Iraq?

Update: Tim Dunlop was at the Inaugaration (of Bush). Very keen. Forget pepper spray, he was lucky not to get shot by a sniper.
