Last Friday during the daily White house press briefing President Bush ended the era of bipartisanism seventeen days after it began. It appears the speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi flagrantly voiced an opinion. Apparently Ms Pelosi new in her job of speaker was unaware that in the era of bipartisanism you should never voice a negative opinion of the President. How did she blaspheme you ask? “Speaker Pelosi was arguing in essence, that the President is putting young men and women in harm's way for tactical political reasons, and she's questioning his motivations, rather than questioning his policies.”
Perhaps she should step down now! To question the motivations of the President after three years three thousand dead men and 400 billion dollars wasted and yet to only now question his motivations? Perhaps White House spokes woman Dana Perino has a point there! It does make the speaker look a little like a dullard doesn’t it? But we aren’t worried about her feelings the Presidents feeling he was highly offended by the speakers remarks, why the speaker said, “ The President has dug a hole so deep that he can't even see the light. She says it's a historic blunder.” So is the White House saying that , the President still thinks it was a good idea?
Ms Perino was quoted as saying “ Well, I think one of the things that's happening up on Capitol Hill is there is a sound bite war going on.” Dang good thing George is a wartime President, how many millions is he going to need to fight this one?
“Speaker Pelosi was arguing, in essence, that the President is putting young men and women in harm's way for tactical political reasons, and she's questioning his motivations, rather than questioning his policies. The one thing you can say about President Bush is that he's not moving forward with this new plan because he thinks (There she said it he thinks) it is popular; he is doing it because he thinks (again) it is right. He is sending troops to Iraq quickly because he wants to win. General Petraeus and many (Many?) of the President's military advisors believe that we still can win and that securing Baghdad is the way to do that.”
Read the above paragraph again does this sound like confidence or hope against hope? Believe we can still win?
Ms. Perino continues, “President Bush has talked about the sobering calculations (aka body bags) of his decision and about the situation in Iraq and what is in the best interests of our country (oil companies). Recent policies, plans that have been announced on Capitol Hill don't take into consideration the consequences of a Baghdad that would collapse -- that would certainly cause Iran to come in, feeding into the militias. You'd have the possible collapse of the government, the fracturing of the military, much for violence, entrenched radicalism and recruitment for al Qaeda.
Is it me? Am I the only one here getting the message that these guys have switched from John Wane of “The Fighting Leathernecks” to Davey Crockett at the Alamo? And if we don’t let them do what ever they want and failure comes you know whose fault it will be?
It won’t be the guy that started this war the guy that was so damn sure about everything oh no,no,no! It won’t be the guy that said, “If you break it you own it.”
“As the President said, it could get worse before it gets better, and he fully understands that. But we also believe that by securing Baghdad -- which you cannot ignore the situation in Baghdad; you must secure it, because if you don't, all of these other things I just mentioned could happen, and that's the way you go in to get to peace, and that's the way that you also, frankly, are going to get to the political (no taxes) and economic reforms (pump oil) that everyone (oil companies) says that they want to have.”
What do you mean it could get worse? Worse than it is already? No, I don’t think he does fully understands a damn thing and that is the problem here. He so disconnected from reality that he gets his panties in a bunch at the mere suggestion of they very things your telling us. So we should be more mindful of his feelings? He’s putting twenty thousand more men in to harms way on what amounts to a Hail Mary pass. Yet gets angry when the speaker questions his motivations? Pardon my French but what a pussy! You want to see upset walk point on a foot patrol or two and see if that won’t give him some insight into his sobering calculations.
“Well, I think the President has made clear that he plans -- he is moving forward with his plan. He spent four months with an exhaustive review process that in many ways, as you all know, was a little bit in the open, because people were talking about different ideas. We also had the Iraq Study Group that came forward. His thought process was quite extensive. And what he wants to do, he wants to win.”
Oh, where to start! No, I don’t think he has, it appears the plan is to try this and see what happens but he’s moving forward with it all right. The review was exhaustive not because you were so smart but because you were so stupid you’ve walked into a hornets nest. Yes you had the Iraq study group and you’ve ignored every suggestion and I don’t think his thought process has ever been quite extensive a single day in his life he thinks about it and someone else dies about it, you poor baby! Your world is so hard you poor thing.
“And he wants” Now we are getting to the god damned truth!
Like a spoiled rotten overgrown baby “He wants” He wanted to invade Iraq and everyone tried to tell him not to but “He wants” He wanted to be a war time President and now he’s whining about it because its hard. Now he wants to win, guess what George everybody wants to win but out here in the real world that doesn’t always happen. That is why you prepare for eventualities and listen to other voices and never never never go into a war just because you want to.
“To say that this is only the President's war makes a mockery of the notion that when we are a nation at war we should all hang together. The President really hopes that in this time of an epic struggle against radical Islam that when we are facing an enemy that is determined to hurt us in Iraq and to hurt us here at home, that we can come together and be constructive. And if there are arguments about the policies, we welcome those, and the President has had no short of a number of both Republicans and Democrats who are -- many of them very skeptical”
To say this is not the Presidents war makes a mockery of us all! And I don’t think we all should hang maybe just, two or three of us but I get what your saying, wave the flag as Kate Smith sings God Bless America. “And if there are arguments about the policies, we welcome those,” OK, The President has dug a hole so deep that he can't even see the light. She says it's a historic blunder.” How’s that one for starters?
“ I think the point I'm trying to make is that we are a nation at war. The Attorney General said something interesting yesterday, that at the Justice Department, every day is September 12th.”
Oh, PLEASE! Still trotting out September 11th even after Bush has admitted no connection between the two. I guess they’ve not only run out of ideas of what to do in Iraq they’ve run out of cheap lines to feed us here at home. Living in the Fuehrer bunker and being careful not to hurt his feelings I guess it’s hard to come up with new ideas especially when he’s so disconnected that he might as well be on Pluto
