Some "vindication". More than 2800 American soldiers have been killed in this ill-planned invasion; untold numbers of American contractors' employees have died; many thousands more Americans have suffered debilitating wounds; and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died or been wounded. No matter how you spin it, hanging Saddam Hussein will not justify either the thousands of lost lives, the chaos our invasion has unleashed on Iraq, or the destabalizing effect our invasion has had on the Middle East.
George's insipid claim of "vindication" further demonstrates this President's utter lack of judgment. He's a committed political campaigner, but a disastrous president. It's time to make Bush confront reality by putting Democrats in charge of the House and Senate. Only changing control of Congress offers hope of redirecting this Administration's badly skewed priorities.
