AS I've mentioned before, Bush is most definitely consistent and predictable.

Bush Celebrates July 4th With Troops Fri Jul 4, 4:27 PM ET By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio - President Bush marked aviation's birth, alongside the nation's and his own, with an Independence Day of gauzy, flag-draped ceremonies and a hearty defense of his repeated use of American military might.

"By killing innocent Americans, our enemies made their intentions clear to us," Bush said from a red-white-and-blue-bedecked stage set up on a sun-soaked field. "And since that September day, we have made our own intentions clear to them." The United States, Bush said, "will not stand by and wait for another attack, or trust in the restraint and good intentions of evil men." Bush repeatedly states that the U.S.-led global war on terror will not end any time soon. He also claimed that Iraq (news - web sites)'s former leader, Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), posed an urgent threat to the United States as justification for a pre-emptive war against that regime.

His administration is facing increasing questions about the United States' postwar occupation of Iraq, the mounting U.S. casualties there and the failure so far to find evidence of weapons of mass destruction.

He consistently tries to tie Iraq, Al Qaeda and 9-11 together, as we can always predict.
