comparisons gone wild!

bush has now compared the iraq war to the revolutionary war, the spanish american war, world war one, world war two, the cold war, the korean war, and the vietnam war. i think we can also throw in the gulf war since the iraq war is arguably just a continuation of that war.

so what's he gonna compare it to next? the war of 1812? some other people have compared it to the barbary wars, maybe bush will pick up on that. um, what else have we got? panama? grenada? kosovo? any of the invasions of haiti? the war against mexico? the various indian wars? is he allowed to use the french and indian war even though that took place before 1776? what happens when he runs out?

in any event, i'm guessing he won't go with the civil war.
