WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- President Bush said Saturday that the new political leadership in Iraq will shoulder the burden for securing the country, but he did not commit to a drawdown of American forces that now are playing the lead role.

"There's going to be more tough fighting ahead in Iraq and there'll be more days of sacrifice and struggle," Bush said. "Yet, the enemies of freedom have suffered a real blow today, and we've taken a great stride on the march to victory.

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Yeah, by everyone except him and his cronies and his administration

[MikeNearMcChord]

2. So how about some sacrifice

from the rich and powerful, like that Jabba the Hutt CEO from Exxon, hell soldiers and Marines are dying for his profits.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

7. Yup.

Welcome to DU!

[ninkasi]

18. You're right....

Welcome to DU. No, Bush and his base, the haves and have mores, will not contribute to the sacrifice, but will surely reap the benefits of those who do.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

3. The only "real blow" today . . .

. . . was the blow that went up his nose, so that he could pedal for an hour. What a horse's ass.

[jwirr]

4. It's your turn to sacrifice and struggle *ss. We the people

are already giving all.

[Mr_Spock]

5. More?

When did this start?

Bush is a moran.

[DeadManInc]

6. The way that fucking idiot

crashes so often, they need to put his dumb ass in the back of the pack.

[savemefromdumbya]

8. We challenge Bush to get out to Iraq and fight himself

[rpannier]

9. For you...heh, heh, heh...not for me though.

I'll be making lots of money. Gettin free gas. Be ridin my bike and eating toast.

[Mind_your_head]

10. ehm, I'm not a cyclist, but something seems wrong with this picture? n/t

[Rose Siding]

11. It looks like he's riding higher than the others

[Mind_your_head]

15. Good catch! Yeah, he is....weird considering * is 'not a tall man'

....that's not what I 'see' though.....'several' little things, but perhaps it all means nothing. I dunno.

Perhaps *my* government is driving me C*R*A*Z*Y b/c I know I can't trust it anymore ~ for anything!!!!!!

[Binka]

24. Look At The Stem On His Bike Seat He Has It Pulled Out To The Max

So that means he must be riding on a 10 inch frame! What a narcissistic fuck. That is why his legs are so extended. Gawd he is disgusting. I would spend every goddamn penny I have just to spit in his face.

[MichiganVote]

13. Yeah, they scrubbed out the training wheels

[medeak]

12. remember when Carter asked people to turn down thermostats?

and the absolute outlash that caused? Why aren't people rising up?

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. Reads like a paragraph out of 1984.

[0007]

16. Is junior wearing the red wind breaker?

[Mind_your_head]

17. Yep, that'd be him....

He's "standing in the saddle" too...if you look closely. That's why he gives the appearance of 'riding higher' than the others.

(but I think if you 'stand' to push on the peddles the force of ones weight gives one more momentum....at least as a short term solution to 'get ahead')

[msgadget]

19. Get ahead...or keep up?

Looks like he's workin' hard to stay in front. Fetching get-up.

[Mind_your_head]

20. Well, he's never been 'out in front'....and neither has *'s supporters....

....they're all the 'back end' of the bell curve.

But yet, we are all connected....and the front end of the bell curve needs the back end of the bell curve and vice-versa......*sigh*
(whatta world!) :crazy:

[msgadget]

21. LOL!

Whatta world. :bounce:

[0007]

23. He's probably load down with protection gear, you know, bullet proof this

and bullet proof that.

[driver8]

22. "Ah'm the decider, you see...Ah decide who has to sacrifice and ah

can tell you with confidence that it ain't me!"
