On the latest anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, The Bush chose the moment to put forward a defense of his actions and a dire prediction for the foreseeable future:
"Our nation has endured trials, and we face a difficult road ahead. Winning this war will require the determined efforts of a unified country.
"And we must put aside our differences and work together to meet the test that history has given us.
"We will defeat our enemies, we will protect our people, and we will lead the 21st century into a shining age of human liberty."
In 1967 Pete Seeger characterized this in song:
"Waist deep! Neck deep! Soon even a
Tall man'll be over his head, we're
Waist deep in the Big Muddy!
And the big fool says to push on!"
