'I'm not going to pull our troops off the battlefield before the mission is complete'

[leftchick]

bush in his bubble....





"There's one thing I'm not going to do, I'm not going to pull our troops off the battlefield before the mission is complete," he said in a speech setting the stage for high-stakes meetings with the Iraqi prime minister later this week. "We can accept nothing less than victory for our children and our grandchildren."

Bush has resisted troop withdrawals even while projecting the need for a different approach.

"We'll continue to be flexible and we'll make the changes necessary to succeed," the president said.

"No question it's tough, no question about it," Bush said at a news conference with Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves. "There's a lot of sectarian violence taking place, fomented in my opinion because of these attacks by al-Qaida, causing people to seek reprisal."

1. He is insane. nt

[BurtWorm]

2. His word is shit, anyway.

Everyone knows that now.

[dkofos]

3. Not enough dead bodies yet??

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Not in Bush's view. He thinks we left Viet Nam too soon and should have stayed

until either there was no US Army left or no Vietnamese left.

[JuniperLea]

4. What's the mission this week? eom

[Deja Q]

5. One picture:

[leftchick]

7. yeah, what the hell mission is he talking about?

:argh:

If we had real journalists perhaps one might ask that question.

[OneBlueSky]

6. what, we haven't killed enough Iraqis and US troops yet? . . .

just how many will it take to make the mission complete? . . . just wonderin' . . .

[cali]

8. Outrageous.

Stupid, malicious, selfish, mendacious, despicable, cruel- add your own descriptive word.

[Target_For_Exterm]

9. Which mission? The enrichment of Halliburton?

The looting of billions in US tax money disappeared in Iraq and who knows where now? (Well, there is that ranch in Paraguay...)

[sam sarrha]

10. got to realize he is on a schizophrenic mission from gOD... he cant quit or fail his gOD..when he

said 'I hear the Voices'.... he meant the voices he was hallucinating in his head.. i kid you not, i have worked with these people and they can be very convincing.. because it is so real to them....

he needs to be evalusted... our soldiers are dying because of the Zelous ravings of a mad man

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Notice he never says what the mission is

Every day more young men and women die and no one even knows what the mission is.

[tularetom]

12. Somebody needs to sit this child down and talk some cold turkey

to him. Almost nobody is paying attention to him anymore and those that are don't believe him. I can't decide if he still believes his own bullshit or whether he has just run out of things to say in justification of his fuckups. If he really believes what he is saying, he's certifiable. If not he's a fuckin liar. That's it, there are no other options. And WTF is all this al qaida shit anyway?

[nancyr]

13. What the hell is the mission?????

[tularetom]

18. Why the hell are you askin me?

I don't have a frigging clue, but if I had to guess I think he's trying to show his mama that his weenie is bigger than his daddy's.

[Xenotime]

14. Face it. We lost. Iraq is worst off than it ever was.

[lyonn]

15. All he'd have to do is read Yahoo news daily

to get a clue as to what is really happening in Iraq, Syria, Iran, etc. We all know more than he apparently does. But, there is this problem, he doesn't read. He has info fed to him by those that put him in power and he is their yes man. Perfect president for the neocons, an idiot! The neocons don't read Yahoo news either! I use Yahoo as that is what pops up on my screen and it is quite informative. Better than the Press Conferences this administration provides for the MSM's use.

bush never mentions the actual happenings on the ground in Iraq, and Iran's part in this operation, and Syria's, Lebanon, etc. It's called tunnel vision and thousands die for power mixed with stupidity. Ugh!

Edit: Let's put it this way, if you read what is really happening in Iraq, etc., at least you know the questions to ask, bush asks no questions, just makes demands like a person mentally retarded/deficient.

[warrens]

16. Battlefield?

What fucking battlefield? Those are people's yards and houses and markets and so on. Gad, I loathe that cockroach.

[lyonn]

23. Well put Warrens. EOM

[Skip Intro]

19. Define success, killer. This is really more about him saving face than anything else.

Hell, he lied us into the war and slaughtered thousands, theirs and ours, and it has continued daily since. Why the hell would he hesitate to let the killing continue until he can find some way to climb on top of the mass graves and declare victrory. Its all about him and his legacy, the lives of our troops, and Iraqi civilians, are not a factor.

[pooja]

20. What mission? Does anybody know the mission? There is no

mission... It was accompished already, yet instead of setting up rebuilding forces, they kept combat manuevers in place and escalated the violence... Unstable Iraq = more money for oil.

Also, if you really like what the US military does when setting up base, just read Cindy Sheehan's letter from S. Korea.... Great insight to our great forces. Displacing people for a golf club.

[Ron Green]

21. He uses the word "mission" as if he has some connection with the military.

Oh, wait . . . he's the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF! I forgot. That means he's totally to blame for this mess, right?

Well - get to blamin'.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Two Words For Ya, Georgie Boy: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

You said it, not me.
The Professor

[WI_DEM]

24. this is the rantings of a man who went awol instead of going to Vietnam

[Rob H.]

25. "We'll continue to be flexible..."

"flexible"? Bush? :rofl:

There is no less flexible person on the planet than Little Lord Fraudleroy.

[riderinthestorm]

26. So we're back to Al Qaida eh? Let's see, a couple of weeks ago the insurgents were just messing with

our election and the violence was going to decrease once another glorious Rethug congress was installed.

Of course, before that it was Ramadan - yup, those insurgents were just trying to mess up Ramadan, cranky fasting sorts who just had to blow shit up remember? And after Ramadan, everything would settle down again.

Excuse after excuse after excuse.

Cindy Sheehan put it very well. What "noble cause" did her son die for? What is the mission and when have we "won?"

[TahitiNut]

27. Congess (yes, ours) authorized 187,000 right now - he's got about 140,000

That gives Dear Leader room for nearly 50,000 more troops in Iraq.

[brokensymmetry]

28. Unless, dear Dumbya, you're impeached...

Now that would be a real mission accomplished.

[Javaman]

29. Didn't moron* also say that rumspuke was going to stay as long as he*

was prez?

Me thinks that there is something afoot at the circle k...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

30. So are we back to "stay the course"?

Is he now saying that he never said he didn't say stay the course?
