Russert Whistling Past The Grave Yard... |
|
Tim Russert, on MSNBC with Mike Barnacle filling in for Matthews is telling us how the Bush Administration needs to step up and follow the Baker Report as well as work with the Democrats.
He's not the only pundit touting this line, but guess what? It ain't gonna happen! Bush will stay as long as he can in Iraq. This was confirmed today after Bush Spokesman said on implementing the Iraq Report: "Jim Baker Can Go Back To His Day Job..."
Bush won't change on his stance in Iraq and you can fill in your own list of reasons as well as I can.
I also think the Bush 41's crying was the tip of the iceberg. 41 went about it the nice way with the Baker Boys trying to convince Bush/Cheney that it's over. All it got was his hat handed to him.
Time for Daddy to play hardball. To save the country from this nightmare, Bush/Cheney must be impeached. Bush 41, for the good of the country, will go to Pelosi and tell her to impeach his son. It's coming.

6. Poppy should give Jr. a dopeslap out in back of the woodshed |
|
It's long overdue. Should have been done 40 years ago, actually.

2. Do you think he was crying over Jeb because he should have been "the one" |
|

There's no WAY he'd ever do that. It's a nice thought, though.

He has to go. His back is firmly against the wall. Many of his own deranged followers have left him. He's alone with pyscho Cheney and the twit, Blair (who will no doubt be ran out of the UK now). He has to go!!

7. When and if the GE's of the world become convinced that * |
|
threatens their well being, they will do what they think they have to do to remove him. If * and Cheney think they can tough it out, they may be surprised. If 2008 poses a major threat of radical change, they will act.

...with a way out utilizing the Baker report. I realize you're thinking 41 would never tell Pelosi to tank 43. But where else would an "immediate impetus" come from without far more of our young dying?
As a Dad, who realizes what his son has done, will do what's necessary for the good of the family. In this case, the country. I can see it happening.

12. I do not believe we will exit Iraq before 1-20-09. |
|
I do not think the Dems have the nachos to put the screws to Junior by cutting off funding and, quite frankly, that is their only leverage.
Investigations will begin in earnest, but we would have to impeach both Junior and Shooter to effect any real change. And I do not see 41 pushing Junior under the bus.
No siree, Bob. We are stuck in Iraq. I hold out very little hope we will extricate ourselves from that mess. I think the Dems have an eye on 2008 and are not willing to put politics aside to do the right thing, I am very sorry to say.

13. We're moving towards some sort of crisis |
|
I agree with the crying jag assessment. Seemed to me he was feeling sad that Georgie didn't turn out as well as Jeb, not that Jeb is that much better. Still, Georgie is destroying absolutely everything and I don't think Poppy can allow it to continue much longer. They'll never whack him, so impeachment seems to be the only option. If the idiot won't do anything to truly affect a change, there just doesn't seem to be any other viable option.

the ISG report was a shot across the bow of the Bush administration.
I wonder if the dimson has got the brains to see it?

somethings up. There's a change in tone that reflects more than a new Congress. It seems as though the cabal as outrun their leash.

14. Kay Baily Hutchinson Just Told Mike Barnacle.... |
|
..that the Baker report is the way to go. She said, "This is the President's big chance. I hope he takes it!"
They know Bush isn't going to follow the report, so they're sending clear signals of "do it, or else."

15. As long as we're fantasizing a bit: what about this: Cheney impeached or |
|
steps down due to investigations, Jeb appointed VP, Junior sacked, and Jeb (Poppy's fave) becomes PreZ. I'm just being a tad paranoid...

22. W doesn't have 2 years to run out the clock in Iraq. |

Here's what I think is giving Republicans nightmares. They know there is no upside for them in letting Bush have his way until he leaves in 2009. The civil war is growing hotter by the minute. There are millions of armed insurgents, patriots, Shia, and Sunni's. While they may warring with each other now, they do have a common enemy...us. And they could, at any moment, focus their combined resources on driving us out. If our soldiers are sacrificed by Bush to maintain his delusion, I think the American voter is going to hold Bush and Congress accountable. I'm sure Democrats are going on the offensive in January. Republicans will have to decide if they are going to support what is good for America or Bush. The boy-king is in total denial and unwilling to admit his monumental failures. Tough choices await the Republican Congress.
