They knew this six months ago, and still let our troops continue to die

When seems so fucking beyond reapir, the only thing that gives me any hope is to chuckle and shake my head…can we get our pitchforks yet?

…And when I get indignant in the morning, I lose words and the ability to spell.

Bush is the first postmodern President. His view that we are winning in Iraq (personal interpretation–hey, he’s not being killed, is he?) is all that counts.

Well, forget progress in Iraq, the real war is against al-Queda, we fight them in Baghdad so we don’t have to fight them here, We. Are. Winning. FREEDOM.
4,000 of our own people killed, tens of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans dead, millions of refugees, 450 billion dollars spent and al-Qaeda is stronger than it was on 9/11? I hate using an overworked adjective but this is just surreal.

when i read this
i had to look twice to see which government he was talking about, iraq’s or the US’s.
(i was gonna say ‘ours’ but i realized that both governments are ours)

You sure as shit don’t need a four-star, NSA director, and now DCI to tell you that. This Iraqi “government” is entirely dysfunctional due to incompetence, non-decision making, cronyism, corruption, and a lot of faith-based whack jobs among other things. With an idiot as the cherry on top.
Easy to see the confusion. The love child looks so much like the Bush/Cheney parents. Cheney must get a tear in his eye and his pacemaker go all aflutter as a proud daddy.

That’s right Wilfred. The big bad AQ is still out there and of course we won’t ask why or how they came to be entrenched in a country that is supposedly an ally when they are supposed to be dead or in prison.
Anyway, it’s probably NATO’s fault.
We’ll just change our fear-soaked pants, buy more duct tape, applaud when the pResident orders everyone to wear a tracking collar and take comfort in the fact that when US soldiers kill or are killed by people in Iraq, it somehow hinders operations in Pakistan.

A very astute observation.
I listened to the WHOLE THING this morning, the presser.
If I heard this phrase once, I heard it ten times:
“See, what the American people need to understand is ….”
Get it? WE need to understand.
This asshole who pimps democracy in a land where there has never been democracy (Arabia) doesn’t have the slightest understanding of democracy in his own country.
Apparently he thinks that telling us what to think is his job. He calls this “leadership.” I call it delusion.

So one minute we’re “turning the corner” and then next moment it looks like we’re “in the toilet”. However, the Prezidint juzt tole me it’z reelly a hott tubb…enjoy the dip and never mind the smell…

Sorry, no ponies. But not because of any sort of defeat, you defeat-o-crat. There are no ponies because we’ve been so unbelievably successful in Iraq that pony demand has skyrocketed, meaning all ponies are now backordered.

Delusion it is.

See, what the American people need to understand is that the supply of jackalopes has…um…skyrocketed. Did you know that there’s now a jackalope surplus in Iraq? Yup. That’s right. A surplus.
Rome Again
So now, as the price of ponies goes up, does the price of jackalopes go down? I’m just trying to wrap my head around this type of supply and demand.
