Over at The Will to Exist, Sgt. Trevor Snyder pleads with Americans to listen to President Bush and not pressure government to set a timetable on the withdrawal of coalition forces from Iraq.

“It’s sad that so many Iraqis and others are dying over here. However, when you discover you have cancer the treatment is always the same – attack it at the source. You don’t wait for it to spread. And when is the last time you heard a doctor putting a limited timetable on cancer therapy? I can picture it in my mind. “Mr. Smith, we have seen some progress with your tumor. It’s shrinking. But we need to move on now. The timetable for treating you has passed. Good luck.”

That’s a great analogy.

President George W. Bush has received a summons to report Monday for jury duty in Crawford, Texas.

I can hear it now.

“Umm, Juror # 286, what is your verdict?”

“Thank you very much. We must never forget the most vivid events of recent history. On September the 11th, 2001, America felt its vulnerability — even to threats that gather on the other side of the earth. We resolved then, and we are resolved today, to confront every threat, from any source, that could bring sudden terror and suffering to America. Many Americans have raised legitimate questions: about the nature of the threat; about the urgency of action — why be concerned now; about the link between the development of weapons of terror, and the wider war on terror. These are all issues we’ve discussed broadly and fully within my administration. So now, as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed services in this great nation, and the undisputed leader of the free world, I firmly believe and feel a strong obligation to say what I’m about say.”

“I believe that Brother Bobby Joe-Bob McDuffey Jr., is guilty of traveling 10 miles-per-hour over the allowable posted speed limit of 30 MPH.”

“Thank you all, and may God Bless the United States of America.”
