Feel free to comment. I actually would like to hear your reaction to this.
If the US leaves Iraq and the entire Middle East to stew in its own juice, what WILL be the outcome?
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi say that Bush is ignoring the "will of the people." That's probably
the case. My parents ignored my will on a great number of occasions --- to my benefit--because
they had access to information that I did not. I am unsure that the the majority of those who voted
in the midterm election know what is best for this country and, by extension, the world.
Thanks to Tom Skeen for the following.Tar...



The speech George W. Bush SHOULD give: (Don't think he should do this? Read the next-to-last paragraph.)
"Normally, I start these things out by saying "My Fellow A mericans." Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow A mericans any longer.
I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit.
Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: there's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office. The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. A nd the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out. Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. A nd that's despite record numbers of homeowners including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. A nd while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton A dministration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in.
Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more A mericans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security. We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this "blood for oil" thing. If I was trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. A nd don't give me this 'Bush Lied People Died' crap either. If I was the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ' Clinton ' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you? You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them. That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they w ant to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you. A nd the bastards are all over the globe. You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor'.
Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops. Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dammit, you might just as well Fedex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing. In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch A merican Idol.
I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching. I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.
So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there ( A l Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of A merica fall.
Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there're just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.
So that's it. God bless what's left of A merica . Some of you know what I mean."

Here is the speech that he really should give:

I have had a revelation! I now realize that the reason for this fiasco in Iraq has more to do with my trying to prove to my Dad that I'm not just some wastrel, frat boy but a major badass on the world scene than about US security and the war on terrorism. I wanted to be known as a "War President". I have no concern for human life which I proved in my tenure as big honcho in Texas. I hold the gubernatorial record for upholding death sentences.
All these neos around here were itching to go into Iraq for some time and saw 9/11 as a golden opportunity. Truth be damned.
Hell everyone knew it was gonna wind up like this. We had to have an excuse for an occupation and civil strife is a good as it gets. Hell, the reason we didn't have no exit strategy is because we never planned to exit until we sucked all the fossil fuels out of the place and the rest of the middle east for that matter.
Now Dick was all for this cuz he's just plain greedy and you'll note how his outfit Haliburton has even moved over there to be better able to suckle on the oil teat. (I wonder who he had on that list he was sposed to make of potential VP's). Never showed it to me.
As for me I figured I'd be taking good care the friends I made in the oil bidness when I was walking out on failing corporations in Texas with a big sackful of money.
I thought I supported the troops and wondered why they didn't just get their Daddys to get them into the National Guard. Wait a minute...
It's for these reasons and because it's become boring that I resign and am sending Cheney to Guantanmo for ...well you name it. GWB

Sorry Tar, but I can't take anything you say or have said for you seriously.vl

tar--

I don't think you''ll get much argument around here that if Bush and Cheney both quit, they'd be doing the right thing. And somehow the US would stagger on, believe me.

They could even give the Sydney Carton (sp) speech-- "It's a far, far, better thing..."

If we get out of Iraq I don't think much would be different, except they'd just be killing each other instead of each other and us.

If we left the whole Middle East, Israel would probably destroy all its neighbors.

Those are my thoughts, fresh from last night's Rally to protest the veto (MoveOn.org)...

Bush should give a speech like Nixon's final one...


"My parents ignored my will on a great number of occasions --- to my benefit--because
they had access to information that I did not. "

Right...and we tried to believe Bush when he claimed that he 'knew' Saddam had WMDs...and that we would be welcomed as heros in Iraq.
   I think I don't have any good reason to listen to him any more. He won't even listen to the majority of his military people who say we in WAY over our head.
