Seems that GW and his puppetmaster, Dickie, believe that the war is still going well[1]. Well, despite escalating violence and the âmore than 2,300 American lives, and those of 33,000 to 37,000 Iraqisâ (lives lost). I donât know what theyâre smoking but they need to share it with the rest of us- or at least those of us who havenât succumbed to the effects of the Bushbot kool-aid. And why the hell didnât they tell that to Ayad Allawi? He said:
⦠in an interview with the BBC that the country was nearing a âpoint of no return.â
âIt is unfortunate that we are in civil war,â said Mr. Allawi, who served as prime minister after the American invasion and now leads a 25-seat secular alliance of representatives in Iraqâs 275-seat National Assembly. âWe are losing each day, as an average, 50 to 60 people through the country, if not more.â
âIf this is not civil war,â he said, âthen God knows what civil war is.â
Thatâs probably why Allawi is the former interim Prime Minister. Duh! What was I thinking?
I am even more convinced that BushCo has been stuck somewhere in the sands of time. They havenât actually joined us here in 2006 and therefore have no flipping idea whatâs going on in the Middle East. How unfair of us to expect them to take off their rose-colored glasses and see what their stupidity has brought onto two countries. We really need to cut these poor old guys some slack already. Donât we know that itâs all our fault that we think things arenât going right? If the media would just get it right then Iraq would be safe, sound, and American free[2].
Mr. Cheney, in an interview on the CBS News program âFace the Nation,â was challenged on his statement three years ago that âwe will be greeted as liberatorsâ and his assertion 10 months ago that the insurgency was in its âlast throes.â
He insisted that in both cases his facts were right, but that the news media had created a different perception with vivid imagery of killing.
âI think it has less to do with the statements weâve made, which I think were basically accurate and reflect reality, than it does with the fact that thereâs a constant sort of perception, if you will, thatâs created because whatâs newsworthy is the car bomb in Baghdad,â he said.
This is exactly why we donât need a free press. You canât let these journalists report the truth because then it makes Dickie look like a liar. You give the ninnies an inch and they take a mile. Hey, NY Times, donât you know youâre not supposed to report on whatâs really happening? Iâm sure you have some real storytellers on staff, why donât you let them take over the Iraq war beat? And you teevee guys arenât exempt. We know about Photoshop. Even if the Iraqiâs arenât actually throwing roses at our feet you should make it look that way. Do not continue to make this administration look like bumbling idiots. Itâs just not fair.
Mr. Bush talked about the war in a two-minute statement on Sunday when he returned to the White House from Camp David, urging Iraq to form a unity government, and saying, âIâm encouraged by the progress.â Then, ignoring reporters who met his helicopter, he entered the White House with his wife, Laura.
He offered no answers to questions about the gap between his expectations three years ago and the realities of Iraq today, seemingly underscoring the problem the White House faced in explaining the war. He successfully put a floor under eroding support for his Iraq strategy last December, explaining his military, political and economic strategy and admitting some early errors. But that was before the images of Shiites fighting Sunnis began a new erosion of support.
Thatâs because GW is living in that strange time warp that wonât let him leave 2003. He canât really comment on something that, in his mind, honestly isnât happening. All is hunky-dory in the presidentâs world. There is no civil war in Iraq, there is no lagging poll numbers, and America is a unified, happy country. Asking him too many questions just confuses him and makes him cry, so quit it!
Once again I ask, What are they smoking?
[1] Was it ever? [2] I realize this is old news, but cut me some slack Ok?
What are they smoking?
