Political Rant: Troops and Support
All right, back from a vacation that I didn't expect, and recovered from a landscape project I didn't expect. Got some glitchy type things worked out with this page and, now we’re ready to roll.
I awoke today to find in the news that George Bush has been making himself useful by insuring that Iraq is as dangerous as possible for our troops. It seems that Bush, the first semi-retarded man to ever run the U.S., was responding to questions yesterday about the fact that our troops continue to die daily in Iraq:
(From Reuters news wire Thursday…yes, it's a real quote)
''There are some who feel like conditions are such that they can attack us there,'' Bush told reporters at the White House on Wednesday. ''My answer is: Bring them on. We have the force necessary to deal with the situation ... We're not going to get nervous.''
Now there's a man too mind-numbingly stupid to realize how much blood he has on his hands. In fact, it boggles my mind that that I and those who share my political views were accused of, wait for it… “duhh, not supporting our troops” because we opposed not just the war, but the policy of preemption that made it possible. Of course the huge, glaring irony is that I have far more respect for our troops than our commander-in-chief who is acting like a drunken fool waving a broken bottle around a barroom looking for a fight.
Yes, thanks George, thanks for calling out Iraq’s guerilla forces to battle our troops while you sit in the air-conditioned comfort of the White House. “Support our troops!”… yeah, right.
Good heavens, that’s better. Hey! Enjoy your 4th… Drink some beer, eat a cow, and light off some fireworks. That’s what being American is all about.
