Brits confirm Bush* in Iraq for Christmas: Santa Dumya's 2nd night raid?

[Patriot_Spear]

Wonder if he'll wear a red suit as a disguise for the next midnight raid?



"Presidential advisers in Washington wanted Mr Bush to be the sole leader to make a Christmas visit to troops in Baghdad and urged Downing Street to postpone any visit."

2. Well well well, I wonder how many Iraqi insurgents with shoulder launched

missiles will have their sites set on any 747's coming into Baghdad over the holidays? Nothing like advertising your intentions to insure maximum potential for disaster, just because your ego get's in a twist.

This administration's ego could end up being a problem for them.

3. I was pretty surprised to, but now I think it's Downing Streets' revenge..

They're screwing Shrub by putting him in the firing line- no way he can sneak in now.

13. we should be so lucky (nt)

4. It's been "leaked."

Now he has an excuse not to go, but still can claim that he tried to spend Christmas with the troops.

5. Now he looks like a coward.

Too afraid to go to a country we invaded, occupy and now 'control'?

That should make for some fun on the pundit circuit.

6. Well, to be fair.

Going there announced would put Dubya in danger, which is why I hope he is not going, since I think U.S. Presidents (even the unelected ones) should not put their lives in danger for photo-ops. Sometimes what seems to be bravery is really stupidity.

8. You think that would have stopped Ike, Truman or Clinton?

I don;t think so.

Her's how I see it: he ran after 911, now he's too afraid to go to a country where he sends American 18 year olds by the thousands. Says it all really.

7. The Onion has started to make me weep more than the "news" whores

Christmas Brought to Iraq by Force

9. I'll bet.............

that he wants to go simply to tie Saddam to a chair and smack him around. "I'll show you, you sumbitch, threaten my daddy huh? Who's talkin' now big man?" I can see and hear it already......big brave Dumbya slapping around a man tied to a chair.

10. I think you're on to something...

He's going to gloat- you've pegged it.

[Cannikin]

11. What is he doing to our country?

We will have no credibility left in the world when this is over. Nobody will trust us. We havent done the brits this dirty since 1776!

12. When the Brits start working against us...look out. n/t

15. Unbelievable.

Once again, it's the unspeakable arrogance of the little twit that just floors me.

"Presidential advisers in Washington wanted Mr Bush to be the sole
leader to make a Christmas visit to troops in Baghdad.... The US
refused to co-operate on security arrangements for a Christmas visit
by Mr Blair...."

:wtf:

I mean, really! How much more narcissistic and petty can georgie be?

Well, at least it seems that his toy poodle is unlearning how to "sit" and "stay" or command.

16. Someone needs to shop the carrier landing picture

change it to a santa suit and the colorful guys on deck should have elf outfits..

Of course the "package" could be giftwrapped with a bow on it..
