The BBC is reporting that the US president "invoked the resolve of the Cold War" at a West Point graduation ceremony.
Apparently, he said, "The war began on my watch but it's going to end on your watch."
What?!
Isn't this the same guy that declared "mission accomplished" a couple of years ago?? Let me check.

Sure enough, my memory serves me correctly. It was back in 2003, when Bushy proclaimed to the entire world, "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended."
(Since delivering his speech, 2327 more American soldiers have been killed in action.)
So, to inspire the graduates, he stated, "We're still in the early stages of this struggle for freedom and, like those first years of the Cold War, we've seen setbacks and challenges and days that have tested America's resolve, yet we've also seen days of victory and hope."
Nothing like a little red-baiting to stir the hearts of future participants in state-sanctioned killing.

Exactly. "I started this mess, but you have to clean it up."
It's Orwellian: the "war on terror" is now "the long war." War without end, a constant enemy threat, just what we need to undermine civil liberties.
Forget about creeping fascism: it's here, now.
