Iraq is falling apart. Do you know where the President is?
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 07:18 PM by DoYouEverWonder
Looks like our War President has more important things to do, then concern himself with the situation in Iraq.




President Bush gives a thumbs up sign from the steps of Air Force One as he gets ready to depart South Bend, Ind., Thursday Feb. 23, 2006. Bush was in South Bend for a fundraiser for Congressman Chris Chocola.

1. That's all they ever do. Fundraisers.
"I'm a fundraisin' president."

3. That's all that dolt is ever supposed to do, really
shake down the rich and the corporate while we have a government by compartmentalized committees that are not being coordinated at the top.

That's the problem.

2. Don't worry...
In a couple of years he can have his staff write a report "Lessons Learned"

In it will have all kinds of great information:

Listen to Generals
Listen to the "focus groups"
Don't meddle in the Middle East

4. These Fundraisers really piss me off...
I wonder if anyone has added up how much money is spent Using Air Force 2 to fly to these destinations, how many Secret Service personel, and how much time is spends doing this.

Iraq is mired in Civil War...the US is being torn apart by each and every one of his scandels, he can't stay behind to throughly understand why the Port deal is not a good idea...We still have states in the Gulf reeling with a new hurricane season on the horizen....

This is deriliction of his duty as a president!! I don't know what else to say, it boggles the mind!!

5. Caption:
In a rare moment (caught here on film), our unitary President removes his thumb from its normal resting place and uses it to salute a fellow Republican.

6. Here's something else interesting: Lou Dobbs is about to

talk about the impending civil war in Iraq. He's mad about EVERYTHING * is doing now!


ALSO, his poll tonight asks:

"Do you believe the Bush administration puts commercial interest ahead of the national interest as a matter of general policy?"

At this time, 98% say YES but it's worth voting in, anyway, to increase the sample size (which is a bit over 5,000 at present.)

The easiest way to get there is to go to

http://www.loudobbs.com

instead of starting on CNN's homepage.

10. Done on the poll. Still 98%
That vote on the poll felt good. Having that 98% calling Bush out after I pressed submit was a nice feeling regardless of the small sample.

7. Are you surprised?
Remember Bush`s guitar-strumming photo as Americans were drowning during Hurricane Katrina? My Pet Goat story hour on September 11th? The extended vacation after the AL QAEDA DETERMINED TO STRIKE briefing? AWOL....yet again.

8. Um, riding his bike? Eating cake? Playing the guitar?
Snacking on a pretzel? Clearing brush? Reading "My Pet Goat" again?

14. He invariably turns to the wisdom of 'The Pet Goat' ...
... in times of trouble. He's not a Christian - he's a Goatist!

17. He's better at breaking things
It's not like he can go over there and fix what he started. Like the first Bush's economy, it is going to take a Democrat to clean up the mess Repugs make.

18. That can't be TRUE
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 07:17 PM by lapfog_1
Why just yesterday I heard on Hannity (I think) that Laura Ingraham just got back from Iraq... and she is going to tell us all how the MSM with it's liberal bias has it ALL WRONG. Things are going GREAT over there. We are real heroes to the Iragi people.
:sarcasm:


(I wonder if this story was pulled today)...

19. He's approaching his . . .

Couldn't happen to a bigger horse's ass . . .

20. Perhaps he's trying to divide Iraq as part of his winning strategy.
Death doesn't matter to this guy. Divide and conquer!

That fits like a glove. He doesn't have a clue on how to unite people. He never has. Iraqi's are mostly poor people, he doesn't give a rat's ass about them. Lettem' kill each other, we all know that's his attitude.

Can you picture him saying that with his damn smirk? It's too easy isn't it.

The man has got to go!

23. Damn, that IS bad news!
Cheney came to KC last month, casting his cold, evil pall over the populace.

But, I suppose we should be relieved that he didn't "pepper" anyone . . .
