Do the Democrats get it yet? He's
NOT LEAVING IRAQIt seems to be slowly dawning on Harry Reid that Commander Codpiece has no intention of giving up on his not-so-Excellent Adventure in Iraq:
"I just didn't feel there today, the president in his words or his demeanor, that he is going to do anything right away to change things drastically. He is tepid in what he talks about doing. Someone has to get the message to this man that there have to be significant changes."
http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/16198013.htmSomeone needs to get the message to Harry Reid that the only ones who can send that message are the new Democratic congress, and they're going to have to make their point quite forcefully or be ignored, just as the Iraq Survey Group is going to be ignored. How many times can people watch the same behavior and not see it for what it is? Bush will change nothing. NOTHING.
From US News:
It hasn't been that long since Bush invited numerous former officials from various administrations to consult on Iraq, including former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. These officials knew going in that there was small enough likelihood that their recommendations would have a significant effect on policy on the ground, but they surely must have been shocked when the Pretender whisked in for brief photo-ops before and after and filed their advice in the nearest waste receptacle. Just like his rearranging the deck chairs after a narrow squeaking victory in 2004, just like his firing of Donald Rumsfeld, it was a surface ploy designed to draw attention to the illusion of change, designed to draw people's eyes away from the fact that nothing is going to change. It was a move as devoid of substance as his puerile speeches. HE WILL CHANGE NOTHING.
As Josh Marshall notes:
None of this is news to anyone who has watched this pathetic specimen for the last six years. Two countries are held captive to this infant's psychopathic ego, and the discourse in Washington, carefully polished by an utterly corrupt news media, is still all about finding ways to avoid declaring that the President is a Dangerous Nut. Let all Americans be clear about that now: Bush is a Dangerous Nut. He has progressed beyond the Nixon Zone, a bad place where the president uses the law to protect himself and his cronies, rather than to serve the country. He has progressed to a place where the US Army is a substitute for his own shriveled penis, and he thrusts it anywhere he feels like making his manhood known.
NOT LEAVING IRAQ.The only reliable key to Bush's behavior is what he does when challenged: he folds. Donald Rumsfeld is the perfect illustration of this. He was sacrificed to keep Bush afloat amidst overwhelming unpopularity, and that unpopularity is deepening across the country as more and more people come to the disturbing realization that the president is indeed a Dangerous Nut. It matters not that there is one less dangerous nut in the administration as long as the Dangerous-Nut-In-Chief remains resolute about his disastrous war. The only way to make this bastard understand is to peel away his key aides through scandal and downfall, just as Nixon was deprived of all his men. That is the only message that will resonate with this desperate idiot.
The new Democratic congress must investigate and aggressively prosecute all the corruption emanating from the top layers of this administration. Nothing less will get his attention.
He must be challenged.
They must also make further funding for the fiasco contingent upon immediate troop reduction. Fight him hard and make him pay for every dollar that his useless war machine demands. Make him beg. Humiliate him, because nothing else will make him respect anyone. If things progress far enough, he will change course, but not willingly, and not without one hell of a congressional confrontation. You, Mr. Reid, and you, Mrs. Pelosi, and all of your colleagues, must get up on top of his back and box him about the head and ears, repeatedly, until you are certain he hears you.
George wants everyone off his back. That is all he will accept. No changes, no concessions unless forced by hard circumstance. He is a child, and ultimately he must be treated as such. The Democrats have less than a year to challenge him if they want the White House, less than a year to even attempt to tackle six years of perfidy and plunder. Less than a year to make George Bush understand: we won't get off your back until we are
OUT. OF. IRAQ.
