Rejecting the Rejectionists Today's Bush speech was mostly a rehash of every other Bush speech on Iraq.  So what else is new?  But there was one new element.  Instead of referring to the insurgency as being composed of "rejectionists, Saddamists and terrorists" as he did in his previous speech, he's now calling them "terrorists and Saddamists."  In fact, he used that phrase seven times, by my count, so it's no accident. So what happened to the rejectionists? "I reject the pessimists in Washington who say we can't win this war. " Oh, there he is.  The commander-in-chief of the rejectionists. 12:16:41 PM    comment []
