Delusional Freeper post of the day

This past week proves once and for all that some of America's most elite journalists are infected with the dreaded disease "Bush Derangement Syndrome."

Sadly, BDS has swept through the Washington press corps and caused even the most elite reporters' minds to melt into a boiling stew of bile, intent on beating the president's legacy to a pulp.

Their over-the-top arguments only make me want to defend him that much more.

So today I will write about the single issue on which liberals have claimed George W. Bush's presidency will be judged: Iraq.

Twenty years from now, historians will not rate the president for the mistakes made in 2003. They will place him in the history books based on how Iraq and the Middle East play out.

While we can't predict the future in that chaotic region, we can look at the last two years as a guide.

After Democrats took control of Congress in 2006, George Bush took a tragic situation in Iraq and turned it around.

He pushed the surge through Congress despite the fact 80 percent of Americans opposed that move.

Then the president stared down some of his own generals, who wanted to retreat in defeat.

As Bush told Gen. Casey in 2006, "The United States doesn't play for the tie. We fight to win."

9/11, Katrina, Financial Crisis, Afghanistan, Torture, etc....BTW people are still be blown up on a daily basis there....just not at the rate they were in 2006 so I guess that qualifies as a success :shrug:

Oh yeah and we never should have gone to war to begin with you knuckleheads

1. I love throwing this in their faces:

"If the 'surge' was so brilliant, why didn't they do it 3 years earlier like Gen. Shinseki advised them to? Whatever happened to Gen. Shinseki? Oh, wait, he was fired for saying we were going in with too few men."

2. Yep, Bush is steadily improving as President. If only we let him have another 8 years, he might be

barely competent.

3. This is a good one...

"Their over-the-top arguments only make me want to defend him that much more."

Really? I hear that the Army would be happy to take volunteers to defend their country and Bush* as commander-in-chief, if for only 5 more days. He'd better sign up now or he'll have to fight for the other guy. :silly:

4. I can't wait for the crap they're going to write on Tuesday.

I'm sure some of them will fall to the floor screaming when Bushie leaves.

5. The single issue

liberals judge Bush is Iraq???? Uh, no. We do look at the totality of his fuck-ups and so will history.

I think historians will be more inclined to look at what Bush did to our country. After all, he was the President of the US. He doesn't get a pass on our economic woes and our standing in the world community because maybe, just maybe 100 years from now Iraq stabilizes. That won't be because of Bush. It will be because of the Iraqi people.

6. Is 'staring down your generals" a good idea?

I thought the best thing was "listening to the opinions of the commanders in the field."

7. I don't know

Trying to logic with a freeper is like trying to logic with someone hallucinating off their medication. Best bet is to get them help.
