Bush: It's Reagan's mess, I'm just cleaning it up
Well, sort of. Bush's latest position on Iraq sounds just as firmly resolved as all his previous, contradictory positions on Iraq. This time, I suppose, he means it, because he blames Saint Reagan:
President George Bush today insisted American forces would not withdraw from Iraq "on my watch" and give terrorists the chance "to claim an historic victory over the United States".
Mr Bush said the resolve of terrorists had been strengthened by the hesitant US response to the hostage crisis with Iran in 1979, the bombing of US marines barracks in Lebanon four years later, and the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre.
"The terrorists concluded we lacked the courage and character to defend ourselves," Mr Bush said. "The only way the terrorists can win is if we lose our nerve and abandon the mission. For the safety and security of the American people, that's not going to happen on my watch."
I expected the shots at Carter and Clinton, but going after Reagan for his unmanly response to the bombing of the Marine barracks? Wow. If Bush pisses off the Reaganauts, he won't have any friends left...
