Bush Insists U.S. Has Clear Iraq Strategy

[hadrons]

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) stressed Saturday that the United States has a clear mission in Iraq (news - web sites) to fight terrorists and foster democracy there, yet a new poll shows that fewer than half of Americans share his belief.

A CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll released Friday found that nearly six in 10 Americans, or 59 percent, said they did not think the administration has a clear plan for handling the situation in Iraq. The poll of 1,025 adults — taken Monday through Thursday after Bush's nationally televised address on Iraq last Sunday — had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

"We are following a clear strategy with three objectives: destroy the terrorists, enlist international support for a free Iraq and quickly transfer authority to the Iraqi people," Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address.

Well, if you look at Bush as clearly lost in Iraq, he is right ... sort of

1. What he means is that they have a clear ideology,

not strategy.

3. Bush's strategy:

Kill 'em all, let GOD sort'em out, then take their oil. :-(

4. He looks at the world through rose-garden colored glasses

5. Of course we have a clear strategy! I, Wolfie, and Cheney...

laid it all out in our PNAC playbook, and things are going along wonderfully: Chaos is Iraq, and we're positioning for war in Iran and Syria. Our Likud allies are happy, and we're happy! Our puppetboy Bush, is banging the 9/11 drum again, and we've got the country scared, and right where we want them. All in all, I'd say our strategy is working just fine!

Regards,
Richard Perle

7. Bush probably really does think that Objective=Strategy

This sentence is actually an indication of a staggering level of stupidity:

"We are following a clear strategy with three objectives: destroy the terrorists, enlist international support for a free Iraq and quickly transfer authority to the Iraqi people," Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address".

It begs the question; what's the fucking strategy to ACHIEVE the objectives, dimwit?
