On this day of Memorial, our Commander and Chief advocated war.  He professed his strident belief in conflict.  President Bush was speaking to the graduating class at West Point.  Mr. Bush proclaimed their futures would be filled with battle.  He should know; he started so many of these, Afghanistan and Iraq to name a few.  The Emperor is plotting and planning for more.  Many suspect that Iran and Korea are his next [possible] targets.

Rather than touch on the topic of war while promoting peace, in honor of our fallen men and women, Mr. Bush pushed his standard agenda.  Our leader spoke of terrorism, ignoring the acts he has committed.  

King George II proclaimed his pride in the country’s newest leaders. With the terrorist rhetoric, post September 11, 2001, Bush was able to breed this force for the future.  This class was the first to complete their studies after the “terrorists attacks.”  Baby Bush was pleased; he beamed with delight.

Today, Saturday, May 27, 2006, the first day of this Memorial Day weekend, our leader praised wars of the past and those of his making.  The Commander and Chief spoke little of love or life.  He only honored his killing machines, men, and mechanisms.  

Congratulations graduates, you have entered a world not of your making.  I salute your lives; long may you live these.

With deep regrets for the losses, I offer many missives I wrote in honor of our soldiers, fallen and injured, fighting, and surviving.  May they all rest and go in peace.  May the future be tranquil and serene.  May war never be considered an option.
