Good Lord, I've finally figured out the reason for this "surge" bullshit!

[Redstone]

Smirky McFuckface just wants to make sure we remain mired in Iraq until after he's out of office.

Just like any other spoiled rich snotnose fucking brat, he wants to have someone else clean up his messes. After all, someone always HAS cleaned up after him, for all of his coddled life.

And he'll continue to murder as many of our children as necessary to avoid any responsibility, in his own twisted mind.

Redstone

(PS: Yes, I know, he's going to kill a LOT of Iraqis too, but that's absolutely beneath his notice. They're only brown people, after all, and he doesn't notice them anymore than he noticed the servants when he was growing up.)

[crim son]

1. Ding ding ding!

By George, I think he's got it!

[Lex]

2. Plus he'll always get to assert that if Congress had approved the surge

then we would've won in Iraq.

Bullshit of course, but that's what he'll proclaim loudly and often (as will other Repukes too).

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. you're wrong. He cares not one bit what happens to Iraq

he is convinced that it is his destiny to attack syria and Iran.

[StrictlyRockers]

4. We have a winnah! Give the man a kewpie doll.

Hard to accept that someone with power could be this stupid and uncaring.

[Bitwit1234]

5. And those in New Orleans after Katrina

[Redstone]

7. Roger that. Just brown people, too.

Redstone

[driver8]

6. He had already said that we will still be there when he's out of office. Also,

Smirky McCokespoon refuses to admit that he was wrong about anything.

The troops and their families will pay an enormous price for Pissypants' arrogance.

[xultar]

10. Yup...when responding to Helen Thomas.

[Redstone]

11. "Soulless" and "psychopath" suddenly seem like such WEAK words...

The English language has been a passion of mine for most of my life, but even such a rich lexicon does not have the words to describe this mono- and megalomaniac.

Redstone

[LostInAnomie]

8. That's been his MO since birth

1. * is placed in a position he is not qualified for.
2. * fucks it up horribly.
3. * abandons ship and makes it someone else's problem.

[Redstone]

13. Over and over and over and over and OVER yet again.

Redstone

[bdamomma]

36. and he is totally detached and defiant.

He is a danger and has to be stopped.

[xultar]

9. ZACTLY. He does not want to deal with the mess afterwards on his own dime.

That shit is so obvious.

[TroglodyteScholar]

12. Your point illustrated quite appropriately by Mike Luckovich...

[Redstone]

14. Perfect!

Redstone

[EarlG]

15. I just wrote that very thing for Monday's Top 10

He's running out the clock.

[Redstone]

25. "Running out the clock." How well-put.

And damn, doesn't it feel good to anticipate you on a "top-ten" item.

That's a compliment. Must be something to that old saying about great minds thinking alike, yes?

Redstone

[StClone]

16. McMonkey admits Iraq is a Mega-Nightmare

But counterintuition is needed to decipherer it in this cynical SAC (Surge and Accelerate) bs.

A war designed for thumping their chest turns into their humping the pooch...but, but, but Rove see an advantage!

AHA! Eureka we'll redesign our disaster to bring down the Dems -- We'll SAC'em!

A cigar to Rove! Satan and Saddam will enjoy a smoke with their new brother with Rove's arrival into the club.

[Redstone]

26. SAC, eh? I'll give him a SAC. A SAC of shit, is what the whole cynical idea is.

Redstone

[az chela]

17. absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only explanantion that makes any sense

[datadiva]

18. I think he's trying to keep us busy

thinking about the "Surge", while he gets ready for Iran. Just my thought.

[Redstone]

27. No, he won't go for Iran. The Generals would mutiny. (What there are left of them, after his

latest putsch.)

Redstone

[bdamomma]

37. He is trying to silenced those Generals who do not agree with him

thus replacing Casey and Abizaid retiring. I just hope those Generals do stop this maniac.

[Redstone]

38. They may indeed be our last hope. It hurts to say that, but it might be true.

Redstone

[Rosemary2205]

19. IMHO you are PARTLY wrong

Yes he wants to keep us mired there but I thing the not wanting to clean up his mess is true. I think the MESS IS THE GOAL. The more we keep Iraq stirred up the more Bush Inc can enrich itself. We are talking pure f'ing greed and evil here.

There was NEVER a goal of stability or democracy or anything else. They DID NOT FUCK IT UP. This what they WANTED.

[fooj]

33. Bingo!

:toast:

[stillcool]

77. exactly...and not all that unique.

except for the internet.

[B Calm]

20. He knows this will force the democratic party to underfund this lost

war, thus the blame for lost war will be falsely pointed at the democrats.

[CoffeeCat]

21. very astute...and very unfortunate for...

...the rest of us.

You're so right. Junior has two choices with Iraq. He can clean up the mess
or make a bigger mess. He's too much of a dullard to clean up his mess. The man
is an abysmal failure and he has no intellect. He knows how to destroy--not build
up and create.

I love how Junior acts all official and pResidential as he continues on this ludicrous
road of chaos. As if leading a failed war is some kind of ceremonial art form.

It's like watching a giant baby eating an enormous platter of spaghetti
and meatballs. Babies can't clean up after themselves. Half of the time
they don't even realize that they're sitting in the middle of a mess. So
you're right--after Junior is finished chomping on his pasta and finger painting
with red sauce--we'll be the ones chiseling noodles off of the ceiling.

[Redstone]

28. "Chiseling noodles off the ceiling." Can I steal that phrase, please? It's great.

Redstone

[SeattleGirl]

22. You are correct, Redstone.

This has been his pattern his entire life. In the past, it mostly caused financial problems; now, however, it's coming at the cost of human lives. I'm convinced he is a sociopath, incapable of having true empathy for anything or anyone, totally uncaring about how his actions affect others (even when those actions result in death).

He is a dangerous, reckless man who thinks of nothing and no one but himself and what he wants.

[sam sarrha]

23. he has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and is a wet brain alcoholic drug addict to boot

he doesn't understand the consequences of his actions and being privileged.. he doesn't give a rats ass for other loss and suffering

[Redstone]

30. And we thought NIXON had lost his grip! At least, at the bitter end, he discovered SOME

small trace of humanity left inside him, and put the coutry first by resigning.

Redstone

[sam sarrha]

53. he made a deal to keep from spending life in Prison.. and destroying the GOP for ever.

the IRS and everyone else was after him for passing suit cases with $2,000,000 in them for bribes and such

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

69. He also fills the bill of extreme narcissistic disorder

An exaggerated sense of one’s own abilities and achievements.
A constant need for attention, affirmation, and praise.
Persistent fantasies about attaining success and power.
Exploiting other people for personal gain.
A sense of entitlement and expectation of special treatment.
A lack of empathy for others.

[babylonsister]

24. Biden came to the same conclusion today:

Biden "Admin Officials, Maybe Even Including VP, Believes Iraq Is Lost" Updated at 3:45 PM

White House Postponing Loss of Iraq, Biden Says

By Glenn Kessler
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, January 5, 2007; Page A06

Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said yesterday that he believes top officials in the Bush administration have privately concluded they have lost Iraq and are simply trying to postpone disaster so the next president will "be the guy landing helicopters inside the Green Zone, taking people off the roof," in a chaotic withdrawal reminiscent of Vietnam.

"I have reached the tentative conclusion that a significant portion of this administration, maybe even including the vice president, believes Iraq is lost," Biden said. "They have no answer to deal with how badly they have screwed it up. I am not being facetious now. Therefore, the best thing to do is keep it from totally collapsing on your watch and hand it off to the next guy -- literally, not figuratively."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/04/AR2007010401525.html?nav=rss_politics

[Redstone]

32. Well, well. Maybe THAT will help spread the news, and get bushyboy committed to the

nuthouse where he so obviously belongs.

He's a LOT scarier than Nixon was at his (Nixon's) paranoid worst.

Redstone

[seabeyond]

29. i think.... you are just RIGHT. yup. n/t

[Horse with no Name]

31. Yep.

You are correct.
If you keep throwing wood on the fire, it keeps going.
If you keep throwing soldiers on a war, it keeps going.
That's the whole point.

[bluewave]

34. Yep. Plus, he has nothing else besides this and stay the course

Any indication that he senses reality and implements sensible policy will be termed a "defeat" by the NeoNuts.

[Redstone]

35. And since he cares about them MUCH more than he cares about "Mah feller Murkins,"

your opinion is 100% correct.

Redstone

[bdamomma]

39. I just want to say there are many of us who have pegged this

maniac with some deep mental issues, we need some sort of intervention, or I wish Psychiatrists and Psychologists would weigh in more with their assessment on this dangerous individual. Bush has many skeletons in his closet, and he is unleashing those skeletons on us.

[MichiganVote]

40. Its really pretty simple: Dry Drunk

[bdamomma]

41. yes, that too.

I just feel very uneasy at what he's going to do next.

[MichiganVote]

43. Some things are very predictable with unrecovered "dry" drunks

Inflexible thinking, ultimatums, threats, psychological punishments, self - pity, moral degeneration, impotency(usually related to anger), refusal to accept what cannot be controlled, denial of responsibility, varying levels of narcissism, and eventual paranoia.

* is not a psychotic. He is a classic "dry" drunk. IMO he has lost all credibility with the American people save a small percentage of heavily co-dependent hanger's on.

[barbtries]

67. i believe he has

a personality disorder. narcissistic personality disorder, to be precise. dry drunk or not, he is mentally ill

[MichiganVote]

68. Not likely. Narcissism is a part of any addict however N.personality Disorder

involves another whole set of behaviors that are typically more aberrant or bizarre. Yeah I know we all think he's a strange one but a Narcissist in the true sense is quite a different cat.

[Redstone]

42. No question. And didn't his Momma ever tell him to stand up straight

when he's talking to people? The leaning-on-the-lectern (NOT the podium) thing really bugs me. Almost as much as the pigeon-head-bob thing that he does.

Redstone

[MichiganVote]

44. Those things release him from having to make adequate eye contact w/people

If you'll notice, about the only time * makes dead on eye contact is when he is delivering one of his one liner put downs. When he isn't making eye contact he is thinking about what HE is going to say to rebutt another.

[Redstone]

49. well, I don't look people in the eye when I'm talking to them, but I'm an Indian.

It's just not our way.

But in HIS case, you're right.

Redstone

[MichiganVote]

62. And in your case that would be entirely appropriate, in his, its a diff. story.

[MagickMuffin]

45. Two reasons he leans-on-the-lectern

1. To make him look tough
2. He needs something to hang onto so he doesn't fall over. Listen to him speak when he does this and nine times outta ten he is slurring his speech.

[Redstone]

47. "'Za MurkinPeeple." "'Za Unie StatesaMerica." Slurring, indeed.

Redstone

[bdamomma]

46. so after all this insight, what are we going to do about this maniac

do we wait until he bombs another country, or do we see what he does when he gives his talk on Wednesday, and what he does about the memo he got from Reid and Pelosi. Just asking.

[Redstone]

50. Hell if I know. I'm thinking in terms of manning the barricades.

Redstone

[MagickMuffin]

48. Well here's the reason for the Surge errr a Escalation!

This is from a piece I got from Think Progress, that reported on a piece by NBC Nightly News.

WILLIAMS: First, NBC News pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski has learned that President Bush is prepared to announce a strategy of surge and accelerate in Iraq, which would involve some 20,000 additional American troops being sent to Iraq. Jim is with us from the Pentagon with more on this tonight. Jim. Good evening.

MIKLASZEWSKI: Good evening, Brian. Administration officials told us today that President Bush has now all but decided to surge those additional troops into Baghdad to try to control over the violence there and only then could they accelerate the turnover of territory to Iraqi security forces. Fact is they’re not up to the task yet. The plan would also throw more U.S. money at Iraq for reconstruction and a jobs program. Interestingly enough, one administration official admitted to us today that this surge option is more of a political decision than a military one because the American people have run out of patience and President Bush is running out of time to achieve some kind of success in Iraq. While this plan will clearly draw some stiff opposition on Capitol Hill, the president is expected to announce it a week from today.

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/01/03/escalation-political-decision/

So, you see this is only a political decision and NOT a military one. They ADMITTED as much.:grr:

Edit: to correct a sentence!

[Redstone]

51. Another fucking WEEK? Wasn't he suppposed to dispense his wisdom to us

a MONTH ago?

And how many of ours have died in that month?

Redstone

[MagickMuffin]

60. Well if you haven't heard to this site then you should check it out

I found this site when I was researching for my end of the year reviews for my blog. It's a pretty comprehensive site detailing how many troops killed, injured, what country they are from, the dates, it also tracks the Iraqis killed by the Mad king Boy George's war of choice.

http://www.icasualties.org/oif/

The Mad king Boy George doesn't have to inform us of his decisions, because he's the "DECIDER" and just like a spoiled Eric Cartman he does what he wants.

[Redstone]

63. Been there. Had my writing posted on it. But thank you anyway. Hey, tell as many DUers

as you can about that site. It's just one guy on a mission, and he's doing a great job.

Redstone

[merh]

52. If you remember

he left the home he was renting in Montgomery Alabama while he was "assigned to the Guard" (AWOL from unit and working for an Alabama Republican's campaign) in such a state of disarray, the owners had to make repairs. They sent a bill for the cost of repairs to him and then to his family and it has YET TO BE PAID.

He was a snot nosed, spoiled frat boy with a substance abuse problem and warped sense of self then and he is the same thing today, he just did more damage than wreck a rental house in the last six years. :grr:


:cry:

[Redstone]

65. I'd never heard that one. But I believe it. You bet I do.

Redstone

[merh]

70. Oh yeah, articles were written about it,

but RATHERGATE took wings and the truth was buried.

In Montgomery there are folks that remember him as an arrogant wannabe cowboy that courted the rich blue hairs at the country club and that was always late (if he showed) up for work, bragging of his partying the night before and how Poppy would get him off if he was ever in trouble. :mad:

George W. Bush's Lost Year in 1972 Alabama
By Glynn Wilson

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 2 (SDN) — The result of an investigation into George W. Bush's lost year in 1972 reveals a cocky privileged son who used his family connections to avoid military service in Vietnam and spend seven months in Alabama partying. He clearly skipped out on National Guard duty and avoided a mandatory drug test, all while learning the politics of "dirty tricks," deception and coded racism in the land of George Wallace.

More @ http://www.southerner.net/blog/awolbush.html

(snip)

The break happened not long after a boozy election-night wake for Blount, who lost his Senate bid to the incumbent Democrat, John Sparkman. Leaving the election-night "celebration," Allison remembers encountering George W Bush in the parking lot, urinating on a car, and hearing later about how he'd yelled obscenities at police officers that night. Bush left a house he'd rented in Montgomery trashed - the furniture broken, walls damaged and a chandelier destroyed, the Birmingham News reported in February. "He was just a rich kid who had no respect for other people's possessions," Mary Smith, a member of the family who rented the house, told the newspaper, adding that a bill sent to Bush for repairs was never paid. And a month later, in December, during a visit to his parents' home in Washington, Bush drunkenly challenged his father to go "mano a mano," as has often been reported.

72. How nice. 1972 was the year I was getting shot at in Southeast Asia, occasinally

successfully. While Doofus McDumfuck was partying.

No wonder I don't like him.

Redstone

[merh]

73. You have ever right to dislike frat boy

for his cowardice then and now.

Have I thanked you lately?

:patriot: thank you :patriot:

and love ya :hug:

[Redstone]

78. Have I told you that you're a peach lately?

(Wish there was a "smiley" for that. Maybe I should make one.)

Redstone

[tavalon]

54. And he wants it to be a "Surge" rather than an "Escalation"

because he wants his manly money shot. He wants it to be long and hard and deep. Yes, yes, YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!

[Redstone]

64. There's that, too.

Redstone

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

55. I think it's a little simpler.

They've made a mistake, but they can't admit it. They can't atone. So they pretend they didn't do anything wrong and end up just making it worse.


Like... Oh, I don't know. When a group of drunken frat boys murder a prostitute and when they come to they decide to cut up the body and hide it the pieces in different locations.

(don't know where I got that, must have been some movie I saw.)


It happened in Vietnam. Instead of pulling out they just kept letting it get bigger and bigger. It happened in WWI. When one wave of troops went over the top and got massacred by machine guns, they just sent more and more waves.

[NNadir]

56. I believe that Joe Biden said as much today.

I'm not necessarily a Biden fan, but he was right on.

[bdamomma]

57. yea, Joe does talk too much, but his hearings on this stupid war

are starting on Wednesday also, they are going to start with Condi, is Boxer going to be there? This should be interesting.

[BlackVelvet04]

58. Never having to clean up his own

messes is clearly a pattern in his behavior. Making decisions to benefit his cronies is as well. When he was governor of TX he awarded a welfare contract to Lockheed. Lockheed???? How did he get by with that? Why did the people of TX put up with this bozo? How DID he become president.

He clearly has placed the Democrats in a no win situation. If they don't fund the war they will be "responsible" for losing the Iraq war. If they continue to fund the war and go along with the surge they will be responsible for the continuing deaths of American military in Iraq.

[spanone]

59. Duh...the story of juniors life.

:hi:

[smirkymonkey]

61. That's what Keith Olbermann just said...

Basically, it is reduced to this:

That little simian Shithead is going to send thousands more to the slaughter in order to save his pathetic "legacy". I cannot even get my mind around this level of selfishness and lack of humility.

God, I really, really hate that F**ker! :grr: :mad:

[Redstone]

66. Yes, it's gone from opposition to pure, molten hatred. Because he'll kill as many of

OTHER PEOPLE'S sons and daughters as he needs to, in order to satisfy whatever psychotic goals he's set for himself.

Redstone

[Initech]

71. The funny thing about this is...

Whoever winds up cleaning up all the shit that Bush has caused will be systematically named greatest president ever.

[bedazzled]

74. i think he wants the dems to refuse to suppy new troops -- thus "losing the war"

"if only they'd sent the extra troops - we would've WON.
the democratics lost the war! wah wah wah!"

your theory is the fifth grade mentality excuse

mine is the second grade mentality excuse

either is par for the course with this murderous s.o.b.

[Redstone]

79. Either way, you're 100% right; it's grade-school mentality. But a grade school for the rich and

privileged only. We wouldn't want those "common people" in our school, would we?

Redstone

[bedazzled]

81. common people are easier to handle when uneducated

hence the assault on our school systems.

55 percent high school dropout rate here in florida

what are all those kids going to be doing? cannon fodder.

we are so screwed....

[Rex]

75. You got it Redstone.

The spoiled child will destroy everything he can until someone stops him. One problem - no one can stop him. In the past James Baker would clean up his messes and now the brat ain't listening or doing what Baker is telling him to do.

That is why we are fucked. No one is at the helm and Junior can't even see over the wheel. :(

[B Calm]

76. He knows this war is lost. He's setting the dems up to make them

look as though they were responsible for him losing the war in Iraq.

[Stephanie]

80. Obviously.

He's running out the clock. He can't win, but he doesn't want to lose.
