Monday, March 31, 2003 Military Readiness: Then and now: 3 August 2000 From Bush's acceptance speech: "Our military is low on parts, pay and morale. If called on by the commander-in-chief today, two entire divisions of the Army would have to report: Not ready for duty, sir." 32 months later... 29 March 2003 From the (London) Times Online: What was supposed to be a ten-day sprint towards Baghdad ended yesterday when the US Marines 11th regiment came to rest. The force had all but exhausted its supplies of fuel, food rations, ammunition and water, and morale was at an all-time low. ... Some units were down to just one day's supply of food. Many of the vehicles' fuel gauges were close to the red.   All hail Dear Leader! For a completely irreverent look at Bush and (hero) worship, take a look at the weblog: The Temple of George W. Bush We recommend starting at the bottom of the page (hit "End" on your keyboard) and scrolling up. Contains hilarious PhotoShop-like work. UPDATE: This is not a joke: US soldiers in Iraq asked to pray for Bush (link from Counterspin) Excerpts: "I have committed to pray for you, your family, your staff and our troops during this time of uncertainty and tumult. May God's peace be your guide," says the pledge, according to a journalist embedded with coalition forces. The pamphlet, produced by a group called In Touch Ministries, offers a daily prayer to be made for the US president ... Sunday's is "Pray that the President and his advisers will seek God and his wisdom daily and not rely on their own understanding". Yes, don't rely on "understanding", which is bothersome rational thinking.    Why not pray that the President "comes to his senses" and stops this crazy war?
