"Bring 'em On"

What the fuck was Bush thinking yesterday when he said this?
“There are some who feel like that, you know, the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is bring ‘em on. We got the force necessary to deal with the security situation.”

It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see what the results will be. In the next few months, there will be a steady drumbeat of U.S. combat deaths - ambushes, guerrilla attacks, rocket-propelled grenades, improvised explosives made from the huge amounts of unexploded ordinance, you name it… Particularly vulnerable are low-flying aircraft, taking off and landing and helicopters, just like it was in Vietnam, which Iraq is seeming more and more like each day.

This is so stupid and irresponsible, and so in character…
