Springs Representin'

Denver Post is bombarded by Springs' citizens in a savage display of intelligence, logic, and wit:

President's speech on Iraq

President Bush said in his Veterans Day speech, "That's why a hundred Democrats in the House and the Senate, who had access to the same intelligence, voted to support removing Saddam Hussein from power."

First, they voted to authorize the use of force if necessary to enforce U.N. Resolutions, not "for war," as many are saying. War wasn't necessary.

Second, Bush supporters have selective memory. Before the war, they repeatedly argued that Bush, as president, has access to information the ordinary citizen and Congress doesn't have. He just can't tell you everything; you must trust him. Remember that? But now Bush says everyone had the same information.

Well, we now know those who trusted Bush made a costly and deadly mistake.

I wish President Bush would quit trying to win the argument and start trying to win the war.

Bravo, Colorado Springs!
