FORT HOOD, Texas - President Bush (news - web sites) said on Easter Sunday he was praying for American casualties to ebb in Iraq (news - web sites), but he braced the public for more in a U.S.-led fight that he described as "right for the security of our country."
In related news when asked by a reporter if he was aware that he was the person who actually sent the Americans there to die Bush was quoted as saying "What? We had no chioce, clearly America was at grave risk of loosing it's vital fig supply. Saddam's regime slaughtered millions of fig trees and left them in mass fig graves bulldoed over to build his pallaces. Clearly we had a moral duty to respond."
