Iraqi Freedom vs. World War II

A reporter asked President Bush yesterday if he was concerned that the war in Iraq was taking longer to win than the U.S. took to fight World War II.

This was one of the many moments in my life I wish I could answer for the President. Had I been behind the podium I would have said:

"Sir, do you know the difference between 'Total' and 'Limited' warfare? World War II was a 'Total War', whereas every military asset, national industry, and resource was focused on fighting and winning the war. Iraq is not a 'Total War,' it is a 'Limited War'."

"Now, if you in the Press wouldn't mind us waging a 'Total War' in Iraq, just let me know. If you promise me you won't whine and complain about civilian casualties and environmental fallout, I'll order 100 bombers from the U.S. Air Force to fire-bomb every major city in Iraq. If that doesn't stop the flow of arms and terrorists from Iran and Syria, I'll nuke their capital cities."

"Until you give me the green light to turn the Middle East into glass and bring our troops home, sit down, shut up, and let me fight this 'Limited War' the way it needs to be fought."

Of course when the reporter stands to ask a follow-up, I'll throw my shoe at him and tell him to sit down.

Next Question?
