RANDOM FEAST: He Still Doesn’t Get It

G.A. Scheinoha

    How can she stand there with a plastic smile fixed firmly in place and spread the same administration b.s. about retreat is defeat? Laura Bush certainly took a page from her husband’s play-book.
    In this case, the words of mass distraction are aimed at the media.
    Blaming them for the public’s attitude about the war. She says the press have no idea what’s going on over there. Hmm, I thought they were embedded with the troops.
    When was the last time she waltzed her butt into harm’s way? If Laura Bush is so sure this is such a righteous cause, how come she doesn’t offer her daughters up as fodder to the front?
    If it’s petty to refuse to see your mistakes, how much worse to refute the need for change? And you know that’s what it’s coming down to. President Bush won’t alter our course in Iraq because he still doesn’t get it.
    We want our soldiers back home. That’s why we voted for Democrats. Or the fact the U.S. cannot win this one. We’re a superpower, not God.
    Instead, he’s actually considering requests to send in more bodies.
    Nearly three thousand dead G.I.s isn’t enough to satisfy his blood lust?
    Not to mention the hundred thousand Iraq civilians.
    Somebody explain to me what the difference is between him and the deposed Saddam Hussein. They’ve both wrought nothing but death and destruction.
    Doesn’t he understand more battalions not only spell a larger, i.e. extended commitment, hence no real reason for Iraq to defend itself?
    They also equate a greater American presence. Aggravate an already tense situation.
    We are viewed as occupiers. Just because we can shove our way of life (democracy) down some other sovereign nation’s throat doesn’t mean we should. Freedom is, after all, about the right to make your own choices
    Since he can’t grasp reality, maybe Congress needs to show him a different one; in which he’s removed from office by impeachment.
    He isn’t a monarch. Remember? We kicked the last King George out of this country.
