Memo to George W.-- Iraq is not a playground

...or a cheerleading competition.

According to a transcript on USA Today, here's part of what Dubya said yesterday:

There are some who feel like that if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don't understand what they're talking about, if that's the case.

Let me finish.

There are some who feel like that, you know, the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is bring them on. We got the force necessary to deal with the security situation.

Enough with the freakin' macho posturing, already! Sometimes it feels like Bush thinks this is all some big playground fight where everyone gets to pick themselves up at the end, wipe the blood off their nose & go home. Does he really want people coming home in body bags?
