Last Choice of a President

Letter to the Times of London

Dear editor:

In a story on President Bush and problems with Syria (Oct. 25th, by Philippe Naughton and Agencies) he is quoted as saying, "A military (option) is always the last choice of a president." Mr Bush told that to al-Arabiya television in an interview broadcast today. Interesting choice of words for a man who speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

This is the very same president who took America to a pre-emptive war that has resulted in 2,000 American military deaths, tens of thousands of American wounded and untold thousands of deaths of Iraqi citizens. Why wasn't the Iraqi war "the last choice of a president?"
