And now a surge in Afghanistan? If you can risk an spare 40,000 US soldiers and not have to return your Nobel, how many can you spend and still walk away with an Oscar?
Oscar for what? Impersonating George Bush, terrorist. As Oscar winner Michael Moore reported and Jon Stewart skewered on the Daily Show, shortly Obama is now quoting Bush nearly line by line. Moore simply compared Fox News transcript of the Obama speech announcing his surge to excerpts from various Bush speeches. Obama: "We Did Not Ask for This." Bush: "We Did Not Seek This." Obama: "New Attacks are Being Plotted as I speak." Bush: "At This Moment ... Terrorists are Planning New Attacks."
It is almost too comic, if only it were funny. But here's the truth. If Obama sends more soldiers then more soldiers will die and the war will still be wrong and, unlike the recession, those war dead, including his extra American soldiers, will be his.
If Obama is imitating Bush then he is being a terrorist and it has nothing to do with the sound of his last name. Of course, now that Obama's hired back Dana Perino, Bush last days press secretary, who would be surprised what happens next.
Whatever it is, I pray it gets better. I am so tired of being America the terrorist.
