What Did You Expect...That They WOULDN'T Bring It On?

Another hostage has been brutally beheaded, and I can’t help but think that George W. Bush’s “bring ‘em on” is partially responsible. This president, who so struggles to use words to express himself, didn’t take seriously his own flippant taunt.

The cost of this war-of-choice is being counted not only in billions of dollars, but in the currency of the 4,000 maimed and killed American military and service personnel. And “bring ‘em on” more and more sounds like the words of a comic book king, not a real leader who knows what battle is like and whose words are carefully measured.
