Bush calls for more sacrifice in the war in Iraq

Freedom is on the march. (Just ask George.)

From the Associated Press via USA Today:

With the U.S. military death toll in Iraq poised to surpass 2,000, President Bush warned the nation on Tuesday to brace for an even higher casualty count, as there is more work to be done in the country.

"The terrorists are as brutal an enemy as we have ever faced, unconstrained by any notion of common humanity and by the rules of warfare," the president said in a speech at the Joint Armed Forces Officers' Wives' luncheon, held at Bolling Air Force Base. "No one should underestimate the difficulties ahead."

But, Bush added: "Nor should they overlook the advantages we bring to this fight. ... Some observers look at the job ahead and adopt a self-defeating pessimism. It's not justified."

So, George, what are these "advantages we bring to this fight"? A greedy, reckless thirst for foreign oil and the willingness to lie and kill other people's children (never your own) to get control of that oil?
