So it's true? The shrubs do use war as a means of re-relection?

Oh, yeah, this was an obvious re-election ploy. This war has been so popular, it's quite clear that Bush will be re-elected in '04. Why bother having a cannon-fodder Democrat spend all that money on a campaign? Let's just annoint Bush for a second term now, and avoid the hassle. Since this war has been so universally embraced by the voting public. And oh yeah, it worked so well for his father...

One can make many cases for different reasons for getting involved in this war, some of them not so noble.. But re-election? That's rich.
