Delusional Bush...

When did America start going so wrong? If you’re like my father, you would say when the “dickhead” got his blowjob in the White House. I, on the other hand, believe it was when the current “dickhead” took office. Since he came into power, power has gone to his head. Now it seems like the republicans are finally seeing this as well. His approval rating is staying around the 42% (with a low of 32%), according to the Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll taken during December 8-11, but listen to him talk, he has taken on a position of supreme leader.

When the war started in Iraq three years ago, the commanders on the ground (you know the people that actually understand war and what should be done) told Bush that they needed more troops. Even early in 2006, the commanders were requesting more troops. Bush said no. He also said that he listens to the commanders in the field. Now the commanders have said the mess in Iraq is too far-gone and more troops will be of no use. So what does Bush do – he is sending more young people to die.

On Wednesday’s “Scarborough Country”, Joe Scarborough, a big supporter of Bush, states, “But when all of his generals abandon him, when the Joint Chiefs abandon him, the admirals abandon him, when John Abizaid abandons him, when Colin Powell abandons him, everybody abandons him, he‘s standing alone! He just doesn‘t seem to have any credibility. And this is extraordinarily disturbing to me, as a guy who supported this war and supported this president twice.” How can a President, so beloved by many republicans go into such a dark place that most republicans don’t trust him anylonger? One point of view (a view that many are taking now) is that Bush is delusional.

Mike Barnicle, MSNBC contributor, believes, “This president—this is dangerously close to a delusion that is going to result in death and carnage for years to come in the Middle East, too many Americans and too many people in the Middle East.” The same poll as stated before has only 12% of the American public agreeing with the President that more troops should be sent. ONLY 12%!!! When did this president forget that he works for the American people? His advisors are telling him one thing, the commanders on the ground are telling him the same thing, the Iraqi Study Group, headed by James Baker and Lee Hamilton, are telling him the same thing – This war is a mess and something major has to be done before many more innocent people die (on both sides).

We are no longer there to help free Iraq. We are there in the middle of their civil war, which we helped start. How can we pick sides on this one? Bush created a mess that we have no idea how to get out of. We have a President that doesn’t understand what war means because he bailed on the one he should have served in (Vietnam). This President is delusional and I agree with Mike Barnicle, “We can have Foreign Relations Committee hearings by Joe Biden, find out exactly who wanted the troops and when they wanted them. And if any commander who has been in Iraq or is in Iraq right now says that he does not need any more troops, there, I would submit, is a commander who needs to be relieved of command.”

Lets look at some numbers on the Iraqi War from Information Clearing House:

1. Number of U.S. Military Personnel Sacrificed (Officially acknowledged) In America's War 2959!!!
2. Cost of America's War in Iraq $351,929,713,140!!!
3. Number Of Iraqi Civilians Slaughtered In America's War? At Least 655,000
