Will Iraq Be Bush's "Waterloo"???
Advertisements [?]
I have this voice that keeps whispering in the back of my mind which I would like to shoot 'cause it won't go away!! Every time I get pumped up over issues or polls and believe that Bush can, indeed, be taken down in '04, the damn voice starts yacking. It says "forgetaboutit, UNLESS". The "unless" is unless what Bush likes to tout as his great glory ends up being his worst nightmare.

The guy has absoulutely nothing else to run on since he has crapped up everything he's touched. Obviously, his whole wad is going to be packed into 'red, white and blue' as he shows pictures of our glorious troops, landings on carriers and war. I'm getting some "inklings" and don't know if it's just me or if you, too, are sensing things.

When this bomb went off in Baghdad blowing up the UN building, I noted that our clown media tried to sell us an "angry" Bush who was going to go "smoke them out"..again. I think they were desperately trying to reignite the liquored-up patriotism following 9/11 or as we landed in Iraq several months ago. I remembered that latest polls now put the numbers at 45 to 50% of the people outright saying that "Iraq was not worth it". I know the media wanted to change that; but my gut feeling is that it will backfire. I think those sights just re-emphasized the "what the hell are we doing there and when are we getting out" feelings of many people and converted a few more to that way of thinking. Now, I am concerned about one trick Bush is going to play.

Next summer (hmmm-Dem convention time, maybe) he's determined Iraq is going to have it's first election (choose from any one of the goons the US has provided for you). He wants this hyped like the old "look at the little girls going to school in Afghanistan". I don't know, folks...I don't know. Will that be enough to get the people all drunk again; or will the people have totally had it and not care by that time. Bottom line: this Iraq situation has all the ingredients of being the thing (and unfortunately, I feel, the only thing) that can finally get the American people to turn on this bastard. We had hoped that the ever growing list of revelations about this regime would take him out; but they just seem to bounce off him. Do you think that we will eventually be getting numbers like 75% of the people or more are sick of Iraq???? Will people be all sick and tired of the patriotism jag???
