Bush/Cheney may not have fullfilled their fantasy as world conquerers, as they apparently dreamed of doing, but when you consider that they and their followers have made unprecidented profits from the errors of this supposed war, then we are better able to understand why they are still in love with their Frankenstien’s monster.

By not having been successful in the occupation of Iraq they have perhaps accidentally found a better solution. I would be very surprised if the Bush/Cheney families and their gangster supporters haven’t greatly enriched themselves by the totally indefensible profits made by the petroleum industry that is at the heart of their power and fortune. And, I should be very surprised if they have not profited from the continued piracy of no bid contracts, with little or no oversight of results. The amount of money stolen from the US treasure by this irresponsible behavior is many times worse than the profiteering of Vietnam.

This “president’ (so-called little man with a horrible ‘tude) is a total waste of skin. He and his minions have decimated our freedoms, took us into an unwarranted war with their lies and deceptions, have sold our economy off to the highest damned bidder and now where are we?
He isn’t even a real Texan. Little crud was born in Connecticut with a silver spoon up his butt.. oh, no, sorry! In his mouthie.
I have kids in the military who have been there and they say the whole line the Shrub is pushing is a lie… just like his original lie about WMD.
And now, he would like to overturn the whole constitution and make himself Prez-for-Life. Really?
Can we stand up and say “we’re mad as hell and we won’t take it anymore!”
You all ready to have the guys in black suits show up on your doorstep and make you vanish?
If he has his way, that is exactly what will happen.

Bush’s reputation and legacy aside, what about our legacy? Each of our names is linked permanently with the stupid eyes and brutality of our nuclear-capable bullyboy. If anyone out there in the future is reading this, I apologize.

If only this man could dream. In his dream, which goes on and on, he supports the head of each dying soldier and each burned Iraqi, looking into the dimming eyes, whispering I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

Have you ever noticed that every argument Bush has ever used to justify attacking tyrants abroad sound equally applicable to him if you simply substitute Bush’s name for the villain du jour?  It almost makes you wonder if he suffers from what psychology textbooks refer to as “projection.”

Yet, after all his “speechifying” about the wonders of and need for “democracy” abroad, he insists on doing the exact opposite here.  With his so-called signing statements negating bills clear meaning, his illegal wiretapping and searches without warrants, his executive privilege usurpations and violations of established laws and treaties, not to mention his end run of the electoral process that snuck him into office, attack the very principal of democracy at every opportunity. 

If Bush were held accountable in the way he demands of foreign governments and leaders, he would be waterboarded so often, his skin would look like a prune.

By decree of The People, his and Mr. Dick’s grand and great grandchildren will serve in America’s imperialistic front lines.

*friends don’t let friends raise children to be narcissistic punks

I said to friends and associates at the beginning of this war, that we could not afford it. I believe I was right. We have gained nothing there, because almost a week after US Forces leave, anarchy will reign.
I make another prediction. John McCain will become the next U.S. President.
The American people say one thing and do another. What has happened to the UNITED States of America?
How did we elect an absolute moron like George Bush?
I would not pay him to mow my lawn. Any American off the street could have done a better job!

I listened to Bush’s speech today, and I was speechless.  What more can one say to such incredible ignorance, such arrogance, such stupidity?  Just the thought of it all reduces me to babbling incoherently.  I just keep asking him through the tube, “What the hell are you talking about???” He repeated the usual mantra:  “Victory over our enemies.” “The surge is working.” “Worth the cost.” “Nucular.” Arrgghhh!!!  I can’t stand it any more.

It is amazing to me that the words coming out of the President’s mouth echo every mistake that led up to and continues to bog us down in the nation of Iraq. Loved the picture of him on the aircraft carrier. I feel it also important to remember the events that occurred at the beginning of the invasion. I made an eight minute documentary about the looting of the Iraqi National Museum. I had the good fortune of interviewing Dr. Donny George, the former director of the Museum, and learned a great deal about this tragic, historical, and still misunderstood event. Below is a link to the video. I hope it is insightful about one aspect of the this war that is still raging five years later.

Bu$h War Worth the Cost -

As in our economy destroyed, military broken, lives lost, dollar worth less than the paper used to print it, etc. etc. etc.

Oh, I forgot - Oil profits $$$$$$$ through the roof - Chi-ching. Now it all makes sense.

Yesterday I wrote a post on my blog called ‘The Iraq war is boring’ because it seems that aside the anniversary the media has lost interest in reporting anything from Iraq in any meaningful way. The endless stream of bad news (no matter how good) just puts a downer on things so it’s easier to ignore it and hope it goes away soon like Vietnam.

Where I the flag wavers now I wonder?

The cruelest component to any emotional/cognitive pathology is denial. Behold bush, denial in IMAX format.

Arrest Silverstein/Bushcon and heal or stay stuck in the lie.
