Oh, I've got it now" we hafta spread Democracy all over the Middle East, because Daddy, Dickie and Donnie are responsible for th'levashun of Saddam and all them other dictators.
Why did we invade Iraq?
It's the oil, and Bush and his Gang are willing to spill as many pints of blood, American and whatever other nationalities, it takes to acquire the black gold.
The office of president, even if its holder had a 99% majority vote, is not free to make up laws off the cuff. George W. Bush, with the ever-present Herr Oberst Karl Rove and Dark Lord the Dick Cheney buzzing in his ear, has this wrong-headed delusion that with an edge of less than 1%, a gift from Diebold's CEO and the Ohio Republican hierarchy rather than the will of American voters, he can do whatever he wants.
So on Monday Bush went to Cleveland and spoke at the City Club of Cleveland, where he expected a regime-friendly audience. While painting the usual rosy picture scenario, King George XLIII threw in another of his fanciful tales that can't be proven. He related the story of Tal Afar, a city in northern Iraq of some 200,000 that was an al Qaeda stronghold now cleared out and in the process of being rebuilt by Iraqi and U.S. troops.
Of course, as usual George left some vital information out of his Faery Taele. Such as it's the only Iraqi city of any size that had been quieted down. He also failed to mention the part about the recurrence of insurgent activity to take the city back.
Funny how Right-wing, Neo-con talk show blowhard Laura Ingraham went to Iraq and the only success story she came back with was the very same tale of Tal Afar.
During Tuesday's "surprise" press conference, King George again made a throwaway reference to "sure, some people are gonna die" in his war without end. Matter-of-fact, no sorrow or remorse in his voice, no hesitancy.
And promise us a war without end did he, verifying that some future president would have to clean up the mess and bring our brave troops home.
Yet he assures us of victory. All this doublethink makes my head hurt.
The surprise press conference has been traditionally used when a president wishes to make an announcement of unique or emergency stature. Bush calls them whenever Herr Oberst Karl Rove feels the Party needs a boost in the polls.
The polls Fearless Leader never pays any attention to, because he doesn't give a rat's ass what the people he has sworn to serve need and desire.
Have you ever noticed how every time George actually does answer a question regarding policy he prefaces it with "I think it should-- or "My feeling on that""?
It's always what he wants, never what might be good for the aggregate group.
And what Bush wants is never anything based on reality within the physical time-space continuum of the Earth's planetary confines.
In short, what he says never materializes unless it results in death and destruction.
