Bush now at war with himself--and it's embarrassing this country
This PR campaign for boosting his image in regards to success in iraq is being met daily with multiple attacks and more soldier deaths. And yet, he remains steadfast in touting how good things are progressing.

He needs to take a step back in the worst way, admit the mistakes, stop politicizing this war for his own benefit and get back to the UN for help!

1. He can't help himself
To paraphrase the scorpion, "It's not his nature."

5. Problem? What problem?
Don't think of it as a war; think of it as an opportunity for wealthy Americans to get wealthier.

Don't you feel better now?

6. But everything is going great in Iraq ~ Haven't you seen the soldiers
letters to the editors. Every small time newspaper has identical letters saying how well things are going. If they were going badly would so many soldiers say different? Things are quite rosey and if we could only get those Iraqis to stop blowing up the oil pipelines we would all be rolling in the dough.

7. that's like asking the Bushes for
money they promised. You never will see the Right or the Bushes doing the rtional or right thing you would expect a sane wicked person do to win over the electorate or secure their position. All over the top and front forward strategy.

Bush could have had the nation eating out of his hands and still commit most of his massive agenda against America, but they want it all now and fear ANY surrender to the common welfare. This is the Macbeth hubris well beyond healing or turning back. Can't, won't and definitely beyond any change except maybe a grudging speech or media blitz for cover.

People looking for some sanity or goodwill from proven criminals are evading responsibility. I remeber too well post election defeats(with no clue of ALL the cheating that achieved them!) hoping for healing and graciosuness. Nixon's self-gratified mewing, eyes aflutter, would have made you puke too.

Suckers. They barely dignify our feelings with more than a glancing lie anymore.

9. What he REALLY needs to do is resign, or
put a bullet in his head where other people have a brain. That would be the truly decent thing. As if !
