i tried, really i did
I tried reading Bush's "Plan for Victory" but I only got to page 7 and I just couldnt take it anymore. It was the same 3 things repeated over and over and over again.

And the whole time I was reading it, I kept thinking, THERE WERE NO TERRORISTS IN IRAQ BEFORE WE WENT THERE!!!

Anyone else try the torture of reading that crap?

1. I'm waiting for the movie
Seriously, I can't believe the amount of time and $ BushCoInc spends on bullshit propaganda like that.

How the hell do you plan an exit strategy that includes PERMANENT BASES?

2. I can't see how you made it to page 7.
I don't like hearing Bush's voice. When I read something he's writen or said I get flash backs. Things like: Strategery, Amerka, Abu Grab, Nucler, Misfeance.

3. I read it all the way through, highlighted it, etc.
my take is its essentially regurgitated stump speeches, very self repetitive, and the only details are of things allegedly already accomplished.

its not a plan, hell, its not even a strategy, its like a wish list for christmas.

Oh santa, I want a stable, peaceful and unified Iraq....
but I have no idea how to get it.

the FUNNIEST part is if you read the "core assumptions" under each plank of political, security, and economic "strategy".
If you read those, you realize these guys are so far removed from reality that they are meeting it in the back door as they wing around saturn on the richochet.

none of the core assumptions are true, and everything else is based on those erroneous assumptions.

4. No. And the next time you go to Borders, don't stumbe into the "stupid"
isle, and buy something like that.

I would no more try to read that than watch "Forest Gump" a second time.

It's a complete waste....don't do it.

9. I can't. Can't look at him or listen to him without a filter, either.
You're a better man than I am!

10. "See, in my line of work
... you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."

GW Bush - May 24, 2005, Greece, NY
