"We screwed up, and it's YOUR fault."

[Mythsaje]

Now that the whole Iraq debacle has ended up just as bad as we expected it would, and most of America is opposed to continuing on the same insane course, we're getting rumblings from none other than that Lord of the Sith, Darth Cheney, that WE'RE the ones screwing things up.

Never mind that it was a bullshit war in the first place. That they had no reasonable excuse for launching the invasion in the first place. That the "evidence" that Saddam had WMDs was apparently fabricated.

Never mind that every single step past the initial stages of the war has been a serious misstep. I mean, they disbanded the whole military and tried to put another one back together from scratch! They closed down Iraqi businesses and left millions of people out there without any source of income. They turned loose American corporations rather than giving Iraqis a stake in their own economy.

Iraq had nothing to do with the so-called "War On Terror" until WE invaded. Let's not forget that. If failure there will cause problems in the overall WOT, it's THEIR fault. It was an unnecessary adventure in Imperialism, doomed to failure because of a total lack of foresight on the part of those who planned and executed it.

It's almost as if this whole thing has been the work of a particularly stupid race of aliens, unable to even grasp the consequences of its actions, or to actually look at ways to repair the damage it's done.

Our fault? I think not, Darth Cheney. YOUR fault, and the fault of your inept advisors. WE are not responsible for your failures, your complete lack of sentient decision-making abilities. You learned nothing from that last failed war--you know, the one you and your alleged "boss" manage to avoid?

The whole lot of you are morally and intellectually bankrupt, with less decision-making ability than your average baboon.

This has gone on quite long enough, you miserable excuse for a human being. You don't belong in government. You don't even belong as part of the human race. Go back to where you came from, and take your whipping boy with you.

We're done.

To quote another marginal human being. "You're fired."

1. What does he care? He'll be pushing up daisies long before we're out of there

This mess will never end and he'll be long gone anyway.

2. You know what really gets me is

that in spite of the fact that they have been wrong about everything and we have been right, they still insist that they are right and we are wrong. Everything we have said over the last few years has been true, and everything they have done is a disaster. So who's plan are they going to follow? Well the plan drawn out by the people who have gotten every single thing wrong so far. What? Do they think they are due or something? :crazy:

4. LOL....

isn't that the truth. Trying to discuss it with a conservative has got to be one of the most frustrating things in the world. It's like they live in an alternate universe.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Yeah, too bad they don't. We could close that portal and be done with them.

[Rosemary2205]

6. They have been wrong on EVERY SINGLE THING and yet

36% are still listening to what the Bush admin says.

It's bizarre.

Why even bother to listen - other than to find out what shithole they plan to inflict on the world next?

9. the PT Barnum aspect politics.

You can fool some of the people all of the time; you can fool all of the people some of the time; then, if you have a bunch of brain-dead fundies and neoconmen, they are fooled all of the time.

3. Your subject line is perfect.

I'm gonna throw it at anyone who defends BushDickaLeeza in the next few days.

[Philosoraptor]

10. Succinct!

[WHAT]

14. I like that...

The Bushydickasleeze Plan

sounds like hulabaloo or something, wish I could remember the word right now...

7. Osama's hands

Yeah, he did the old "you're playing right into Osama's hands". It's one of the things they say that I hate the very most. It's the Lite version of saying we are traitors. Instead it's, "you're naive and stupid."

I really hate these people. They are the most disingenuous hypocrites to ever walk this planet.

12. And pretty soon, we are going to place SANCTIONS on your government

if you don't tow the line.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

13. great rant!

17. Well, there's always my latest...

15. i hope there's not one single person dumb enough to fall for this one.

how outrageous...to totally screw things up so badly and then say somebody else doesn't have all the answers to fix it. i want this asshole behind bars...along with his sidekick.

16. It IS our fault . . .

You just have to think magically. See, if everyone thinks or says the same thing, that thing is called into being. By thinking and saying that the United States' effort in Iraq was doomed to failure, us dirty fucking hippies caused the United State to fail in Iraq. If we had all just jumped on the magical bandwagon, everything would have been just fine!

But instead, we delight and glory in more death and destruction (our pacifist and peacenik posturing is just a ruse, doncha know) and we all secretly want the United States to fail in Iraq. Doing so, of course, cancels out the magical aspect of the administration's thinking, and leaves it vulnerable to creeping reality. And now just look at the mess we made of it all! Tinker Bell died because you fuckers didn't clap hard enough.

We should hang our heads in shame.
