How Stupid Does Bush Think We Are? Answer: Very

How stupid does little Bush think we are?

The answer is: pretty damned stupid.

That’s the only conclusion possible after hearing him try to claim that the winding down of his “surge” escalation of 30,000 additional troops represents a “new” strategy of reducing American troops in Iraq.

I mean, WTF? It was called a “surge” because it was supposed to only last a few months. And it’s ending because when the deployment period of those soldiers and marines is up, not because it was a success, but because there are no more troops to replace them!

They have to be brought home!

And yet, here is Bush saying that because the “surge” is working (sic), he can start bringing the first soldiers home for Christmas (nice touch that). And here’s the corporate media, at least in its “objective” news reports, quoting him without the slightest hint of irony.

And how about those Democrats? They too are playing along, talking respectfully to that hack, Gen. David “Peaches” Petraeus (a man I correctly identified two years ago as the bootlicking self-promoter even his boss, Admiral William Fallon now calls him). They should have laughed him and Ambassador Ryan Crocker out of the House and Senate hearing rooms and told him that they would have no more money to play with.

Congressional Democrats should be saying the same thing to Bush: No more money for Iraq.

But they won’t.

"We" did allow him to take over our White House.

:shrug:

And that's setting the bar pretty low.

Or do you mean, "How stupid does BushCo think we are?"

Small point, but I don't think the man at the microphone is choosing his own words.

contempt for the Constitution and contempt for Democracy.

I get the impression he thinks he's cagey, slick, and can't imagine anyone seeing through his slippery plans. After all, he has Uncle Dick, those scary looking Secret Service guys and a bunch of alphabet-soup agencies fooling everyone. It isn't that Americans are just so stupid, but that the mighty pretzledent is such a snaky, conniving sharpshooter.

Unfortunately we have Dino Dem's that are trying real hard to prove him right!

Apparently, no one is.
