It’s a great and convincing ad. Senators where fast to debunk Petraeus’ withdrawal move as purely technical. Remember Petraeus replied that yes, the return of the soldiers were already planned, but that he could have extended their tour ! — acting more like a dreadful teacher restoring his authority, than like a general understanding the sufferings and lives of his soldiers and of his “enemies” are at stake. Couldn’t he also press the button just for the sake of making a pool afterward in Washington ?

But I beg to disagree with the punch line of the video.
Bush “has no plan“, Bush “has no strategy“, just as far as you believe the man has a decent goal. But Bush stated his plan very clearly the other day in Australia :
To be invited next year in the OPEC summit !

For Bush, and for his exceptionalists and neocons scene, subjugated Iraq is nothing of a “hot potato”, because he dreams history will remind of him as handing to the next president nothing but a 52nd state, carrying 15% of the world oil reserves. I mean they mean it, one way or the other.

When the pres. constantly says that things are for the better in Iraq, that might be, after all, because his not so hidden agenda is even worst than what’s happening out there. Listen to him :”stuff happens”, “we’re kicking ass”, until “Iraqis stand up”—from under military shoes, “we’re making progress” towards… read my lips. While the democracy kiss, on the ground, is only a full scale counter-insurgency op, including psy-op manipulations we cannot imagine.

Bush confusion between Apec and Opec seems very deliberate on video, and that looks like his jocular obsession with pork, last year in Berlin. If it’s a bad joke, he repeated it three time ! (see a comment on that one here ): //www.dailykos.com/story/2006/7/16/53317/3109.)

Why on earth the Dems have such a problem understanding the true nature of what is at stake with the present administration ? Are they naive or hypocritical ? History will say.

There are no fence-sitters:

AP-Ipsos: “When it comes to the situation in Iraq, do you approve or disapprove or have mixed feelings about the way George W. Bush is handling that issue?”

Approve: 33%
Disapprove: 65%
Mixed: 2%
Not sure: 0%

Don’t sit on the fence any longer if you are disgusted with the Democrats – register Independent today. When the numbers reach 40%, the I’s will have the power and clout they need to enter the picture. Then, and only then, will the political chicanery come to a screeching halt.

Coming from you, that is truly a compliment. It was joke! It’s been said on TP many times that Republicans….forget it.

Go blow the dog? You got a dog fettish huh? Skank? Creative.

They all lie! That’s a big news flash for you? It doesn’t really matter what W says does it? Bush proclaims “the sky is blue” and you would call for impeachment? Sad! The world is watching and you don’t care. They see us divided, and they see weakness, and you don’t care. It’s all about power. Funny thing is, whomever gets the nod in the democratic party, they will be way more to the right than you want to believe. And they will lie to you and me.

That’s what you said when Gore was running. That’s what you said when Kerry was running. I’m beginnibg to see a pattern. Why are you so optimistic? Since 1980 we have had only eight years that have been run by a democrat, and he was not a true liberal. If you think the country(the majotity of the country, not the hysterical left) is ready for Hillary or Obama, you are crazy. They are going to have to move so far to the right to get elected. You love them now: Are you going to love them once the nominating process is over? You will, but they won’t be electible to the majority of the country.

What is the greatest threat facing us now? People will say it’s terrorism. But are there any terrorists in the world who can change the American way of life or our political system? No. Can they knock down a building? Yes. Can they kill somebody? Yes. But can they change us? No. Only we can change ourselves.

well, well. i guess he finally is starting to get it.

Let’s see if Bush proves them wrong. I doubt he will. I’m going to bed early.
