Ya know, Senator, it was going to be really hard for Democrats to run against George W. Bush this time around until you opened your big honkin' tweet.

[Hissyspit]

1. Well, I'll be sure to let the 1-2 million orphans and widows,

the million dead, the ones suffering from depleted uranium and white phosphorous exposure, the many, many missing limbs, the thousands and thousands of soldiers with brain injuries...

know that, Senator.

Oh, by the way, Senator... Fuck Off, you asshole. This fucking disaster of morality, legality and humanity was NOT a victory.

[SwampG8r]

2. well...

he did START the war
i mean.....
cant end one unless someone starts it so credit is due i guess

[LWolf]

3. The only "victory" in Iraq is that half of them get to come home. nt

[Powdered Toast Man]

4. Well, he's right.

Had Obama not stared the war in Iraq, Bush wouldn't have been able to end it.

Oh... wait, that's the way it's going to be written in Texas history books.

:evilgrin:

[spanone]

5. what fucking victory is that?

[Chulanowa]

6. Where is that picture... Oh! Here it is!

[metapunditedgy]

7. Hmm... how much credit does Bush deserve for the *failures* of the war, SenJohnMcCain? n/t

[David Zephyr]

8. What a tool.

Cindy, find another man and keep your money to yourself.

[kentuck]

9. Some credit? He can have all the credit!

People have been trying to clean up his mess for the last two years. I guess you could call it a "victory"?

[Kurovski]

10. Uh...huh

:crazy:

[kentuck]

11. Has there ever been a bigger fuck-up than George W Bush in the history of all mankind??

Everything he ever touched turned to shit or to tragedy.

From his educational stint at Yale, to his leaving the Texas Air National Guard, to his knack for giving people nicknames like Turdblossom, to his start up oil company, Arbusto, to his getting in on the deal to sell the land for a Texas Rangers stadium (one that he got away with), to his getting elected as Governor of Texas where only 29% of the people had even the interest to vote, to actually believing that he could become President of the United States, to invading a country who did not have WMDs and murdering many tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens, to his torture camps in Afghanistan, to his little Mussolini, rooster-type walk, to his arrogant smirk, to his Ted Bundy inner self, George W Bush was basically just a general shit head.

[Kurovski]

15. He's the Shock Doctrine made flesh.

He's the king, the genie, the Tinkerbell of tragedy and all the riches it brings to those corrupt and sociopathic enough to grasp it.

[kentuck]

17. Is it possible for the truth to be so funny...?

...and disastrous at the same time?

[Kurovski]

19. It depends...

on how much one is suffering at any given time.

Runs hot and cold, I think.

[kentuck]

20. Is it possible that people have forgotten that maniacal moron already??

Much of the country held their breath for 8 long years. Now they want their country back?

[AtomicKitten]

12. FFS I can't believe that crotchety old fart was a contender for the presidency.

The world will remember exactly what went down and history won't be kind to GWBush.

[Kurovski]

16. The Repubelickin's didn't want this mess in their lap.

They threw the game, I'm guessing.

Sarah was the clincher.

Now every turd Bush and the 'Pubes dropped on America and the world-at-large gets engraved with "Property of the Democrats".

[xxqqqzme]

13. OMG, this man's

brain is gone. Who should we alert?

[Kurovski]

18. The Missus, I think.

But love is blind.

[flvegan]

14. Victory?

Oh, that's funny.

[flor-de-jasmim]

21. If I believed that, I'd argue that CARTER should get credit for a whole slew of things!

[global1]

22. I Was Wondering How Long It Would Take For Some Repug To......

invoke Bush's name in this matter. And lo and behold it took McGramps to do it.

[classysassy]

23. Way to go John

you just got yourself a dozen votes from the inmates at Arizona's largest mental hospital.

[Angry Dragon]

24. Bush already said *Mission Accomplished*

so any victory after that is not his
