Bush's Farewell Tantrum »
Posted by: gatitabonitasen 2 years, 8 months agoA story in The New York Times makes it clear White House officials are giving off-the-record interviews designed to dampen expectations regarding Iraq. These officials are saying that the administration will make no interim reports on the situation until September, and that in any event people shouldn't expect much in the way of military or politic

May 2, 2007, 1:01 p.m.whether it's the times (which i can't stand) or cnn, or fox or any of the other political party mouthpieces, the issue remains....the war in iraq is not only a failure, it was unconstitutional from the outset.
It's this country's foreign policy that needs a change - we need a new direction, fast; one where we don't meddle in the affairs of other countries, topple governments, invade nations, kill civilians, spend billions to prop up foreign dictators and on and on and on...
Then, and only then, will we have real peace and prosperity in this country.
A good read on this:

Bigots don't need reasons for their bigotry.

When the best you can do is comment on the messenger rather than on the message is when you should know that you have lost the debate

May 2, 2007, 2:18 p.m."As democracy is perfected, the office of president
represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the
people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks
of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the
White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

May 2, 2007, 2:33 p.m.Child bush was given the job of POTUS by the surprem court as a christmas present. the first thing he wanted to do was play with his new army, see how it worked. So he took it out from under the christmas tree and sent it to Iraq and broke it. now the adults need to take it back and try to fix it.
The only way this nation will be able to fix this mess is to start new. We no longer have any standing in the world and never will as long as the idiot is in charge. Maybe we could work out an agreement for him and the vp to resign and gives us our country back. They have had it long enough

May 2, 2007, 4:33 p.m.The sentiment in Islam about Bush will mirror the feelings the Democrats have about Bush. No matter what Bush does, there is nothing but hatred. In the case of the Democrats, even legitimate daily functions, meetings and conversations by the President will be portrayed as some evil criminal enterprise. All of which is designed to influence the 2008 election in favor of the Democrats. In the process, if America is made to look evil, stupid, criminal and colonial; as long as the Democrats win in 2008, there are no costs too high, no sacrifices too sacred.
However, in Islam, the hatred of Bush is just skin deep, rather only spoken when a religious fanatic is close by. Secretly, the power elites in Islam are really happy Saddam is gone and thrilled that The Taliban is hiding in caves because the same hatred for Bush is only one turn away from the Islamic ruling elite.
What I find so sad is the Democrats are doing more harm than the Jihaddies. Only in America do we tolerate such crap.

May 2, 2007, 4:59 p.m."In the end, President Bush's failure to heed the will of the people isn't so much an act of principle, but rather an outburst of sheer peevishness. With Democrats in control of Congress, he's no longer getting a blank check to fund his military adventures. He finds this frustrating, so he's stamping his foot, covering his ears, and taking his party down with him.
All this is exactly what one would expect in the way of a political farewell gesture from a spoiled rich kid who never grew up. Future generations of historians will note George W. Bush made a mess of every real job he ever had - and, unfortunately for America, the presidency of the United States proved to be no exception."
True. Sad but true. Just read up on Harkin Oil and the Texas Rangers Stadium Deal. It is a shame more voters did not inform themselves about "W's" business past and see that he either failed or ripped of taxpayers for everything he "earned".

Hit's the nail on the head.
WORST PRESIDENT EVER!

May 2, 2007, 8:33 p.m.What Bush has demonstrated is that the office of the President is literally a dictator position. He can defy Congress and American public.
It is high time the country change over to a parliamentary form of government and replace the Presidency with the position of Prime Minister.
The majority party can vote him out if he becomes a stubborn dictator.

May 2, 2007, 9:37 p.m.6 years ago it looked like the Republicans were unbeatable. Now they look like toast. Thanks Bush (heavy sarcasm).
Bush is the dream of Liberals. Without him they would be nothing. With him, they will soon be all powerful. Thanks Bush (heavy sarcasm).
Bush has taken a budget that was balanced (thanks largely to a Republican Congress) and unbalanced it. Thanks Bush (heavy sarcasm).

May 9, 2007, 6:06 p.m.If Iraqis through their elected representatives /actually/ say they want to sort out the mess in their country by themselves, we ought to let them.
If they end up with a binding resolution, that is it. We pull out.
