Embattled Bush pleads for patience on Iraq strategy
Published: Thursday June 28, 2007

President George W. Bush pleaded with Americans Thursday to give time for his troop "surge" in Iraq to work amid signs of increasing skepticism in his Republican party.

Bush, speaking at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, said the US military was at the "beginning stage" of its offensive in Iraq as the last of the 30,000 extra troops he ordered into Iraq arrived this month.

"As we finally got the troops there Americans have got to understand it takes a while to mobilize additional troops and move from the United States to Iraq," he said.

"And we got them there, and now we re beginning to move and there are hopeful signs," Bush said. "We owe them the time and we owe them the support they need to succeed."

3. BUSH PLEADING?
Now that's a quote I'm going to print and paste on my wall.

Hmmm Do I detect some desperation? Some panic? Adrenaline churning in their stomachs?

I CERTAINLY HOPE SO.

4. Did you guys see the clip...
Of dear leader commenting on the failure of the immigration bill?

He knows it's over for him, the lamest of ducks. Political capital is all gone. He amounts to squat. Lower than whale shit on the ocean floor.

6. Have him lay his two little bitches on the line....
...then see how fast he withdraws, cut and runs, surrenders, embolden the enemy and gets the f*ck out of there. I say send the twins over. They can do the "good news on the street" interviews, or go buy carpet with mccain the feeble minded.

Such a sad sick joke of a leader.

7. OK, I'm ready to show some patience -- how about:
1) he resigns this week; or
2) he's impeached next week?

Now, how much more patient can I be expected to be with that war criminal?
