Sometime today, we'll get word that the 3,000th American GI will have been killed over in Iraq. The answer to the escalating violence over in Iraq is to send more troops to join the slaughter ... this must be a Texas-Remember-the-Alamo kind of response because it did happen before, before most of those 3,000 were conceived, at a time when the way forward was full of hope and promise. Bush might take a cue from Ford about the "Way Forward."
But he won't cut the number of troops in Iraq. The magnetic yellow ribbons are few and far between on the gas-guzzlers. I see more magnetic ribbons that ask other drivers to rescue dogs than to rescue troops, troops ostensibly fighting now, not for freedom for Iraqis, which was a distortion of the executive's constitutional powers, but for oil, as many in the minority suspected in the beginning of this bloody debacle.
