Bush: War was Kerry's Fault

[Feanorcurufinwe]

President George Bush has released a statement accusing the Democratic Party in general and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry in particular of forcing him to go to war against Iraq. "As the American People know, I was against the war from the start," said Bush, "I would have never even thought about attacking Saddam Hussein if the Democrats in the House and Senate hadn't had voted for it. It's really all their fault and I am opening an investigation to prove that the Democrats and Kofi Annon of the United Nations are behind this huge failure in my intelligence."

Vice President Dick Cheney, while echoing the Presidents words, took matters one step farther. "The Democrats manufactured evidence that was designed to whip up fear in the country that Saddam posed a imminent threat., said Mr. Cheney, speaking on the condition that no one would understand him, "Then they pulled the wool over the Administration's eyes by telling us that those fears were unfounded, making us believe that they were trying to make us disbelieve the facts that they made up but said were untrue. Don't you see? It's all very clear...none of this is my fault."

"We're in the middle of assessing blame," said unnamed White House source Wegman (Pudgy) Waterhouse, "The only thing we're sure of at this time is that we're (The Administration) gonna come out smelling like a rose. The truth must be obfuscated, responsibility deflected and facts spun if the American People are going to be confused enough to re elect George Bush. That's what this Inquiry is meant to do and to make matters even more confusing, we won't even release the findings until after the election, so there."

"The President is doing his best to clean up this mess that the Democrats caused," said Waterhouse, speaking on the condition of anonymity, "As the American People know, President Bush is probably the most peace loving Commander in Chief this country has ever had. I mean, look at his record. Even the idea of serving in the Texas Air National Guard was so repulsive that he went AWOL for a year, while that evil warmonger John Kerry actually went to Vietnam and fought for his country. It's disgusting."

SATIRE -- although I have often heard similar arguments here at DU.

[Taeger]

1. BULLSHIT!!!

They all know it was Clinton's fault. Clinton is responsible for EVERYTHING that Chimpy does. ;-)

[oasis]

2. satire yes. But I guarantee there will be a few knee jerk reponses from

the "Kerry-the-Bush-enabler" sector.

[Democrats unite]

6. Well since you asked

Kerry did enable Bush! ALl he had to do was what the majority of the world was saying no! (hello people it wasn't like their was no dissent here!).

[oasis]

7. I didn't ask, but thanks for sharing.

[Democrats unite]

8. Well lets' see the majority of the world was wrong

But Kerry & Bush were right. It was a pleasure to share this with you.

12. Bush ignored Kerry's admonition:"do not to rush to war." Bush bears the

responsiblity for jumping the gun. If you think Kerry would have acted similarly, he doesn't want you to vote for him. John Kerry has stated that numerous times.

13. Thats goos because he is not going to get it!

[mitchum]

10. More "jerk" than "knee"

20. Satirical late-night kick

[chocolateeater]

3. I'm glad that was a spoof,

though I wouldn't put it past them to try it. Now my head hurts just thinking about the illogic involved.:hangover:

[ButterflyBlood]

4. that reminds me of right wingers

saying the Patriot Act is really the Democrats' fault.

[bigtree]

5. Whew!

What a gas!

[vanityfair]

9. Whoa!

For a minute there, before I had scrolled down far enough to see the "satire" notice, I was thinking, "What??? I hope this is satire."

Thank goodness! Although I wouldn't have been surprised if Bush did blame Kerry and the Dems. The little weasel can't take responsibility for anything.

[Leilani]

11. Funny, but not funny

Watch Bush, when criticized in the GE, will say the Congress agreed with me to go to war.

[joshcryer]

14. Yep.

And there's nothing that can be done about it.

[LuminousX]

15. I have often heard similar arguments here at DU.

I'd like to see a link to one, two, or three of those posts.

18. Here's one.

Surely you aren't pretending that you've never seen anyone on DU blame Kerry for the Iraq war?

[MODemocrat]

16. It wouldn't surprise me if Bush blames the Democrats

So far, he's put the blame on just about everyone else, and gotten away with it. I was getting hot under the collar when I first started reading this, and then started laughing out loud, and my husband asked me what was the matter with me. Wow, this has been a long and hard weekend.
Whewee!:beer: :hi:

17. An Excellent Laugh, Sir!

And one with a sound point. It exposes the profound inanity of much criticism directed against Sen. Kerry by some in this forum. Any attempt to share responsibility for the invasion of Iraq by the criminals of the '00 Coup will be quickly condensed into something very like this by comedians and the general public.

The responsibility for a policy lies with those who conceive, drive, and execute it. Everyone knows this; it is part of being the executive in charge.

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

19. Too bad Kerry voted for it,

isn't it. He just couldn't have seen through the bullshit like the rest of us. Of course, we aren't all trying to run for President now are we?

[regnaD kciN]

21. Irrelevant...

He just couldn't have seen through the bullshit like the rest of us. Of course, we aren't all trying to run for President now are we?

So you're saying that running for President is a sufficent excuse for people to not "see through the bullshit" and swallow whatever the administration dishes out or, worse, act against their own principles out of "pragmatic" vote-counting considerations? Can they be forgiven for all that simply because they're running for President?

:wtf:
