President Bush on Air Force One with U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia, and on the way to Iraq, I'll bet.
I'm not making this up. It's in today's Washington Post online , and its scary in my view, this statement he made:
"We're not leaving so long as I'm president."
Wow. I know he's the great decider, but even the most decisive people have to learn when to change their course. Even though President Bush's saying that the very morale of America's taking a beating, he insists that we go through this.
Why?
What's the point of more reports of Americans dying over there? What's the point of more statistics of those wounded and injured? What's the tally? 63,000 or more? That's almost as many people as the population of the City of Berkeley (110,000) and it's oveer twice the number of students there. In other words, that's a lot of hurt Americans.
The War on Iraq has not made us safer. It's not improved the Mid East. It's done little good, if any. It's also caused us to commit financial resources better used to redevelop New Orleans and that part of the South.
It seems it's easier for this president to remake another country than to rebuild his own.

What is wrong with people?
ReplyDeleteAll it we ever hear is talk, talk, talk. Eveyone says..."Oh, the president sucks, oh, he is so bad", etc, etc, etc.
Yet nobody does anything about it. Non of the members of congress does anything. Nobody tries to get him out of office.
Me, I was yelling about what a total idiot he was last time around. Nobody listened, and he got elected again. Now everyone is saying that the guy is a total idiot and a drunk to boot.
Yet, he stays in power.
You people are all lame. Don't talk about it, DO SOMETHING!
Me, I don't talk about it, so I don't feel that I have to do anything about it. I am just waiting till the term is up and driving my veggie car.
The country has survived 6 and a half years, it can survive a couple more.
After that, Bush will get back together with his lover, Victor Ashe, ex mayor of Atlanta (look it up!) and eveyone will be happy...
