CALL ME SNAKE

We don’t want those “politicians in Washington” telling our troops what to do, President Bush is fond of saying. But the last I checked, the White House is located in Washington, D.C., and our troops are dying in Iraq because our president sent them there. Maybe in his mind, Bush is still clearing brush in Crawford, Texas. But we’re stuck in a horrible war (four years after Bush proclaimed “Mission accomplished!”) on account of the decisions made by the president and his political chronies who, by the way, call their shots from a place called Washington.
