In other words, he doesn't care about the troops and never has. He only cares about the political party that represents his warped ideals dropping in the polls. He is now trying to rationalize flip-flopping because he can't ever turn his back on Bush. So he has to change his warped logic to fit his new ideas on what helps Bush...in this case, ending the Iraq war. People like him only care about the troops so long as it helps HIS cause.

And the second word there just means "noun" so you don't need it. Very brave of you to copy words onto your blog in a language/alphabet you don't know, though! I approve. يهيا براد!!! (Long Live Brad!) Brad, the word
عتاقة
pronounced “3ataqa” (the 3 stands for this sound in Arabic called an “ain” which does not exist in English)

really is not the best word for “freedom” which is definitely
حرية
pronounced “Hurriya”

A huge knife with a gob of Freedom Spread that we forcefully dragged across the Middle East, tearing it to pieces. Should have taken it out of the refrigerator ahead of time to soften up. If we use lots and lots of spread, can we sort of paste the bread back together so it looks whole? At least for long enough to withdraw the troops at a lively walking pace rather than a full sprint? That's called "Victory" right? It’s funny but whenever Bush said we had to “spread freedom” I visualized it just like Swank does.

OF COURSE WE ALL SUPPORT THE FUCKING TROOPS. What has happened is "support the troops" has become shorthand for "support the policies of George W. Bush." It appears that Bush's Iraq strategy is to keep slogging through the quagmire for the remainder of his term, then leave it for the next guy to slink out of Iraq with our tails between our legs. What do you think of that, Swanker? When I support the US troops, I want to support our US troops.

I almost wish I were a psychologist, because there's masses of data out there just waiting to be gathered. It's not just Swank but millions of ostensibly sane Americans who have for the last five years been rationalising the most appalling behaviour and policy because of their unshakeable belief that Bush is "a good Christian conservative", and therefore his policy must be good. Between Iraq, Katrina and immigration, many of them have had that illusion shattered and suddenly reality is rushing back in through the barriers and filters they have erected to protect their perception of Bush as a good Christian conservative.
