WASHINGTON (AFP) - The more success the United States sees on the ground in Iraq (news - web sites), the more it will be targeted for attacks, President George W. Bush (news - web sites) said after a string of deadly blasts in Baghdad.

"The more successful we are on the ground, the more these killers will react," Bush said.

1. OK

THIS IS THE WORST F***ING SPIN YET. WHAT F***ING SUCCESS YOU F***ING DIPSHIT?????????????????????????????

[ProfessorGAC]

15. My Sentiments Exactly!

Thanks, Skittles for putting it so succinctly. In other words, the more we succeed, the more we fail. So, it's not failure, it's success.

Brilliant, Georgie!
The Professor

[retread]

28. Ease up on chimpy he's paraphrasing Bob Dylan.

"There's no success like failure."

[OrAnarch]

32. "And failure's no success at all"

n/t

[Minstrel Boy]

2. "The better we do, the worse it will be"

I knew it had to be something like that.

:eyes:

[kentuck]

3. So if they kill every American in Iraq???

It will be a complete success, according to this logic.

7. Ironically this headline is what we were saying all along

But nobody's right when everything is wrong.

No s**t Sherlock!

[kainah]

37. Exactly what I was thinking

We'll know we won the war on terrorism when we are all dead and buried, apparently.

Hooray for the rapture!!!! Then we can all look adoringly at * and thank him for his great wisdom.

:puke: :eyes: :wow:

[Paschall]

4. More killings equals more success?

Now I know why he urged them to "Bring it on!"

[qb]

5. WAR = PEACE, LOVE = HATE

They've been pulling this shit since day one and the media continues to lap it up.

[Submariner]

6. "The terrorists don't want good healthcare"

I had to change channels after that one. What a blithering idiot!

[underpants]

8. No he did not say that (did he?)

Please tell me he didn't say that.

IF so he is trying to use Iraq attacks to spin his cronie's healthcare plans?

WTF does he and his ilk know about good healthcare?

Oh this is unbelieveable tell me he didn't actually say that.

[Submariner]

26. He did!

He was fielding questions from his usual pre-selected reporters, and as he found he was repeating himself, he started that stuttering nuance he has of searching for a new thing to say and blurted out that "Terrorists don't want good healthcare", followed by something else inane to sort of dilute the comment. It was embarrassing to watch so I flipped channels.

[underpants]

27. Sadly I am laughing now

Oh Jesus SMOKE BREAK!

I can just see it now:

um..um.....and uh....they don't want...good healthcare !!(brain saying atta boy Georgie)

[MaineDem]

29. Sheesh, they can live in the US if they don't care about healthcare!

I can't believe he really said something so inane!

I'd like to see the whistle ass put more effort into giving everyone here good healthcare!

[homelandpunk]

39. oh...my..........(Chris Farley): GAAAAAWD!!!

I didn't see it, but I can picture it with your description...oh, holy shit...I am truly on the verge of laughing and crying. This is so embarrassing i can't deal with it.

[ozymandius]

31. WOO HOO! Bring on the presidential debates!

I can hardly wait for our nominee to completely wipe the floor with Bush. Uhh... ung.. healthcare for terrorists?

[progressiverealist]

35. of course not...

if you're going to blow yourself up in a car bombing why should you care about your cholesterol level.

God does Chimpy really think everyone is THIS dumb?

[mike_c]

9. war is peace, Iraqis attack because they love us....

Damn, it took me a while to catch on.

[SpiralHawk]

10. We have always been at War with Iraq

I mean East Eurasia. I mean Oceania.

But I heard for sure that Choco-rations will be increase by 2 milligrams sometime soon. So there are things to be happy about.

Big Brother loves me. He loves you, too. Accept Big Brother into your life, and be SAVED.

[underpants]

12. Well apparently they ran out of flowers to throw

so they improvised some new "gestures of love".

Who needs FTD when you have RPG?

[Jackpine Radical]

21. By George--

I think he's got it!!

[0007]

11. Laughing out loud @ this junior clown -

A 1984 catch-all with a "Catch 22" twist.

[underpants]

13. Attacks=success, no attacks=success

See we can't fail.

Now where your parachute should be you might find a stock issue of M&M stock so that you too can profit from this excercise and in your flackjacket............

[Spider Jerusalem]

14. Sure.

Trot out some more Vietnam-vintage rationalisations. "We're WINNING Nthe war. But, see, the native population doesn't LIKE us winning the war, so the closer we get to ultimate victory, the more fiercely they will strike against us." Uh huh. Right. Now, I'm no military strategist, but it seems to me, from my reading of various strategists and tacticians from Tacitus and Sun Tzu to Clausewitz and T.E. Lawrence that ONE of the signs of success in a military operation is the gradual cessation of active opposition as the enemy comes to see the hopelessness of his position. This hasn't happened, and probably won't. The US is in the crucible, and the Iraqis are going to keep applying the flame.

[underpants]

16. Oh yeah sure name THOSE sources

Well put and Welcome to DU:hi: if'n I haven't before.

Time Magazine last month quoted several Iraqis who said that the opposition at that point were radicals and Saddam followers and they said that when Saddam is found then the everyday Iraqi will start their attacks as they can not been seen as supporting Saddam at that point. Perhaps the rank and file are no longer worried about Saddam and are starting their attacks now.

It's a big bag of cash and our efforts to keep the number of hands out of it have left us alone and now Iraqis are trying to oust us so they can have more of a share. This is very much like what happened in the former Soviet Union after it fell, everyone staking their claim.

[Voltaire99]

43. Nice post

Agreed wholeheartedly. And love that Mencken quote, too.

[alcuno]

17. I'm teaching this to my students - direct variation.

I wonder if I should use this as a class example. No. they'd laugh me out of the classroom.

[fizzana]

18. I am now totally convinced we have entered an alternative

universe where logic and reason is ignored.

[jus_the_facts]

22. as soon as the selection took place I was convinced of that....

....and on it on it goes...twistin' and turnin' ever deeper...INTO THE VOID.:evilfrown:

[Jackpine Radical]

19. The worse it looks, the better we're doing!!!

No shit, this is like the propaganda the Japanese gov't used on its people as the Americans island-hopped toward the homeland. "The Americans are falling further and further into our trap. Everything is going according to plan. Soon they will be hopelessly overextended and we will destroy them."

[underpants]

20. I'm getting images of Baghdad Bob in my head

This is really much like what he said.

[young_at_heart]

23. "Bring Em On" is really working

Did he think of the consequences of saying such a thing.......what on earth possessed him to say this?

[MetaTrope]

24. Yes, the media really does sexually service Bush

Check out the microphone technique.

[homelandpunk]

41. Condi looks guilt ridden, detached, utterly embarrased

I think she is trying to go to her happy place...
and Rummy? well this criminal does not care what words come out of the puppet. Rummy speaks his own Manglish, and obviously only hears what he thinks he hears, anyway. Incapable of embrrassment.
But Rice!!! HOLY SHIT. I don't "feel for her"...but shit man, wouldja look at that?

[Wickerman]

25. Bush*, one mor etime for those of us a little slow...

Why the FUCK are we in Iraq? I've heard a dozen piss-poor reasons from you, none of them make sense, none of them seemed to have held up. Its not even safe for Halliburton to be in their making their big coin these days.
This theory is the stupidiest one yet I have heard from our Idiot in Thief.

[Mari333]

30. Get you fat arse over there on the front lines AWOL

or shut your lying piehole. YOU are murdering the people of Iraq Mr Bush..YOU are murdering our sons and daughters in uniform..the only terrorist there IS is YOU and your corrupt administration

[ElementaryPenguin]

33. Those attacking occupying military forces are NOT considered terrorists!!

Lapdog press will simply not call Chimpy on that one!!

[Malva Zebrina]

34. Jesus Christ

this guy is totally lost--does he really believe this kind of rhetoric is going to be believed by anyone with a thinking brain? He is a pathetic, puny pipsqueak. Whoever told him he was in charge of anything probably regrets that now. Oh this is so embarrassing--Bush--how about you take your upholstered lump and yourself out of the White House now. You are not in charge of even deciding the brand of the toilet paper in the bathrooms, and you do not know what you are saying or doing--that is pretty obvious. You are babbling incoherently. Get out you idiot--and take the lump and her curtained dresses with you.

[DeathvadeR]

36. "Boy Genius" speaks again.

Will he say some more dumb things next week?.......... Remember......... same dumb idiot, same dumb rhetoric.

[Fridays Child]

38. It's a deadly accurate statement, given bush's definition of success:

The acquisition of oil, billions for himself and his friends in sweetheart contracts, and the show of brute force, in order to intimidate the rest of the world.

[Sticky]

40. Bush: U.S. Progress Spurring Iraq Attacks

"Does the president really believe that suicide bombers are willing to strap explosives to their bodies because we're restoring electricity and creating jobs for Iraqis?" said Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), D-Mass., a White House candidate. "Is the president arguing that the better things get in Iraq, the more dangerous it will become for American soldiers?"
