[...] And once again we see that the Bushies don’t take anything very seriously until it poses a political threat. Just a couple of months ago the White House released the “Strategy for Victory” document, a document clearly thrown together post hoc by describing what has happened in Iraq and framing it as a strategy. The point of this, clearly, was to shore up Bush’s tanking approval numbers. As I wrote last month, even though the Bushies knew, or should have known, that the training of Iraqi security forces is critical to anything resembling success in Iraq, it wasn’t until early 2005 that they got around to putting more money and effort into that training.

[...] This is Bush’s pattern: To take credit for an “accomplishment” (that may not have been accomplished yet) and then leave the work to others. Oliphant continues, The reason for the mess, by the way, involves the last so-called ‘’milestone” that was promoted and then trumpeted by Bush — the elections 11 months ago for an interim government and the October referendum on the constitution that this government produced.

[...] Yesterday I mentioned that Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton, the chair and vice-chair of the 9/11 commission, were on Meet the Press. Today they have an op-ed in the New York Times in which they argue the Department of Homeland Security is seriously screwed up. Billions have been distributed with virtually no risk assessment, and little planning. Nor has the federal government set preparedness standards to help state and local governments use the money wisely. The District of Columbia used part of its grant to buy leather jackets and to send sanitation workers to self-improvement seminars. Newark bought air-conditioned garbage trucks. Columbus, Ohio, bought body armor for fire department dogs. These are not the priorities of a nation under threat. [...]

You can tell the man is clueless when 10 troops are killed and he has so little class that he trots out with a big smile on his face to brag about the economy(which is nothing to brag about), and not ONE word about the major loss of life….not one hint in his eyes that he was even aware of it…He lacks the ability to react to the current situation, whatever it is.

This is what happens when the public allows an asshat to be made President.

Yes, America in decline. Soon, we will all be flipping burgers for our Chinese masters begging them to protect us from the turrible Middle Easterners.

And George Bush will be at home counting his millions and laughing at us.

Of course he needs a vacation..Being president is hard. Bush was emphatic about that during the Presidental debates. The blame America first crowd gets so bent out of shape when our war time leader takes a needed R&R. Only one year of vacation taken in five years on the job is a testament to his selfless service and love of country.

I might have been in a fog listening to imaginings,but didn’t Bush promise to teardown Abu Ghraib prison as a symbol Saddam’s brutality and rebuild in it’s place a multi-million dollar, state of the art detention and rehabilitation facility. I think it was around the same time that some American girl in uniform was pictured walking an Iraqi on a leash. Was I dreaming?
