He has a secret plan. It’s buried, in a jar, in his back yard.
I have fucking had it. Even given that the invasion of Iraq was wrong, for reasons varying from distraction from the valid attack on Afghanistan to the incompetent post-invasion plan, even given the flat-out lies, even given that I am of the party that opposes him…
The man is a fucking moron.
Finally, despite all my protestations, despite all my emotional connections, despite all my sentimental wishes for it to remain so, Richard Nixon is no longer the worst American President in my lifetime.
And I’m still waiting to hear from someone in the administration what exactly ‘winning’ means here. As they stand up, we stand down, isn’t a goal, it is a tactic towards accomplishing a goal (what the fuck ever that goal is).
The passive voice is great for obfuscation and for dirtying the waters. There’s the infamous “mistakes were made” of course, but this administration has mastered its applications for PR. Why, listening to Bush over the years you may have thought that those 150K troops just poofed in the middle of the Arab world during some bizarre teleportation experiment. Or the great Iraqi Navy was crossing the Atlantic to get us so we were forced into action and there was nothing Bush could do as his hands were tied…
Haven’t you been paying attention? We’re bringing Democracy and freedom. They hate us for our freedom so we’re giving it to them. Freedom is on the march and is turning a corner. And another. And another corner, we’re back to where we started! There’s a city on the hill. Either the hill or the city itself is shining, maybe due to suicide car bombings. Fight them over there so we can’t fight them over here.* Stay the course. Insurgency is in its last throes. Our strategy has never been stay the course…etc.
Whew, that was dizzying. Can anyone else add some?
Remember all the Iraqis that used to come over here and blow up random market places and schools? Whew, good thing we solved that problem!
Sounds like “oh gee, how did we come to have soldiers here? is that a butterfly?” Makes Philip II’s “didn’t send my men to fight the elements” sound like a real excuse…
Now of course there is a move by Bush to include more dems in the process which means of course that the pubbies hope to get some Democratic fingerprints on the candlestick before the 08 elections. That motherfucking piece of shit Bush.
No, no, no. That’s the more humble George W. Knowing that he lost the election and Congress, he’s reaching out to the Dems, trying to accomplish something together, and not let his last two years be a meandering lame-duck Presidency. Why do you conspiracy theorists hate Amerka?
God, I just wish Bushies could come to Baghdad and see what they have done. I have an Iraqi colleague who happened to be near a car bomb this week and had a stranger die in his arms. A day doesn’t go buy where I don’t hear just some horrible fucking story of misery unleashed by that piece of shit and his cunt-faced supporters. Shame on all of them.
Sorry for my glib previous post, madmonk. If the Bushies came, and saw, it would be like mom Barbara, seeing the devastation in N.O., saying, in effect, that the displaced people of Katrina were better off now, being out of those nasty slums.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Even though it’s been years since this whole sick mess of a war got started, I’m *still * seething with rage at what Bush and Blair have done and I still can’t understand how they got away with it and are *still * getting away with it. I mean for fuck’s sake, the US invaded a country that had never harmed them and had not even threatened to harm them and never even had the *capability * to harm them. Anger at the war might be old news to some, but as long as civilians are getting blown to bloody chunks on a daily basis because of what that murderous fucking chimp has done, I’m not about to let it rest.
HOW? How could this have happened? How can a nation that claims to be the beacon of light and freedom in this world just invade another country for no fucking reason and cause such unmitigated horror and bloodshed? :mad: :mad: :mad:
