....The president was angered by the MoveOn.org advertisement questioning General Petraeus. He believes the ad was uncalled for and he used harsh language to describe his reaction. His emotion was fueled by his respect for the hard work, intellect and sacrifice of General Petraeus, and he indicated that while visiting Iraq recently, he warned Petraeus about the coming media glare and the importance being attached to his report in the United States.

He described the General in very glowing terms as a charismatic figure, but the president indicated the General's name shouldn't be attached to the plan because he, as commander-in-chief, takes responsibility for it. As he insisted today, any blame for failure goes to the president.

Notably, when asked about Robert Draper's new book, "Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush" -- a portion of which deals with the disbanding of the Iraqi Army -- the president (who indicated he has not read the book) insisted there was no Iraqi Army left to re-constitute back at that time, saying most of Saddam's former fighters had been driven to the north where they fled and dispersed. I pointed out that this seemed like a new response; for four and a half years, the disbanding of the Army has been seen as one of the chief failings of the Iraq war. The president seemed un-bothered by that perception.

On Iran, the president indicated that future mil

fucker knows our frustration. He used "harsh" language. So let me make sure I understand the bushco rules...pResident can use "harsh" lanugage, but free speech that is out the window? Have I misunderstood this???

So is this his version on taking responsiblity??? No way, can't be that.

18. That's why for months now we've referred to the Bush Plan

and have eagerly awaited Bush's Report on the war, because the General's name shouldn't be attached to what the commander-in-chief takes responsibility for - except that the commander-in-chief has been referring to awaiting Petraeus's plan and Petraeus's report and Petraeus's recommendations on what to do for months now. Good grief. Wonder if he minds if we call him a chickenshit ass-kisser, or would that make him mad, too?

15. MoveOn is on Tweety now n/t

I love the ad.

[Drix]

16. Ad I'd Like to See

I want to see an ad asking why the Bush twins are not serving in the military in the ME wars. If the President cannot convince his closest family members to serve and sacrifice why should anybody else? I want to see the Bush twins called out by name. I want that entire family to explian to the country why they are not worthy of service.
