Saving Face for Bush

What do y'all think about my new idea for a bumper sticker:

"How many more corporals have to die to save face for Bush?"

I heard a snippet from an interview with a Vietnam Vet this afternoon on All Things Considered. He was taking the position that any call for troop withdrawal gives hope to the enemy, and the situation will end up like Vietnam, where a million Vietnamese people were killed after we pulled out. He can't remember the reason we were in Vietnam, but says the Iraq war is different and he doesn't want the 2075-and-counting deaths to "be in vain".
So I started thinking about it and realized that whatever our reasons for entering the Iraq War were, the current troop placement is really just about saving face for Bush.
How many more Specialist Casey Sheehan's have to die to save face for Bush?
How many more Lance Corporal Scott A. Zubowski's does it take?
How many more Staff Sergeant Jason A. Fegler's does it take?

The Truth vs. What Bush says

Clear enough.

Decoding Mr. Bush's Denials

What do we know?
There were no WMDs in Iraq before the war. They weren't moved out or hidden, either. (2004 Report of the Iraq Survey Group).
The Bush Administration said there were. See the long list of quotes in my previous post.
Bush had intelligence that said there was little evidence of nuclear weapons development in Iraq. The National Intelligence Estimate of October 2002 was released (in part) by the Bush Administration after the full occupation had found no evidence of WMDs. A note in the NIE from the State Department's INR said there was little evidence of nuclear development in Iraq and that the intelligence other agencies were using was known to be bogus.
The Bush Administration pressured intelligence agents to change their reports on WMDs. We had testimony before Congress during the Bolton confirmation hearings that John Bolton had tried to transfer or dismiss an agent who wouldn't change his report on Cuban WMDs to suit the Administration's position. We also know that Cheney had unprecidented meetings with the CIA. His meer presence amounts to pressure.
Contrary to what Bush says, Congress didn't have access to the intelligence that the Bush Administration did. In the first year of the administration, they had the CIA change the rules as to who in Congress was cleared to receive secret reports, limiting this priviledge to eight leaders. Given that ALL intelligence is collected and analyzed by the Exectutive Branch before going to Congress, the information Congress received was easily shaped to fit whatever message the Bush Administration wanted them to see.
The Bush Adminstration acted to stamp-out any and all opposition to their claims of Iraq WMDs. Valerie Plame was one victim. We know Libby and Rove were directly involved, and it's starting to look like Cheney, Rice, and Hadley had knowledge of the attack. When it takes so much effort to keep a story up, the story is probably a lie.
