| um, ok, and what's the plan exactly in Iraq?? |
[Jan. 10th, 2007|11:13 pm] |
Okay, someone explain to me why CNN was offering breathless coverage of the latest Bush "strategy" which is nothing more than a bump up in the troop levels to make a last-ditch effort to save Bush's political hide. And now he's going to bestow upon us his wisdom not only in his speech but a nationwide speaking tour to convince us of how right he is.
Riiiight....
Just like he was right on those WMD's, or how we would be greeted as liberators, or how this would hardly cost us anything, or how the capture, trial, and hanging of Saddam would free Iraq, or how this isn't really a civil war.
Bullshit.
This is utter bullshit.
And, four years into this abysmal catastrophe, this man still doesn't know what he's doing, still has no problem lying (or just totally ignorantly speaking) to the American people day in and day out. And all the media gives us is cool graphics which show where all those brand spanking new troops are going to go.
I got news for you folks - these aren't "new" troops. It's the same guys and gals, going out on their third redeployments, and they're tired, and their lives are totally disrupted, and a few more of them isn't, at this point, going to be able to accomplish anything in a country which has already devolved into all-out civil war.
I'm just so over this crap. |
