ImBushcile wants "more sacrifice" in Iraq.
WASHINGTON -
President Bush warned Saturday of tough fighting to come and "more days of sacrifice and struggle" in
Iraq as April drew to a close as the deadliest month for American forces this year.

"The enemy is resorting to desperate acts of violence because they know the establishment of democracy in Iraq will be a double defeat for them," Bush said in his weekly radio address as he saluted the emergence of a permanent government.

"There will be more tough fighting ahead in Iraq and more days of sacrifice and struggle," he cautioned. "Yet, the enemies of freedom have suffered a real blow in recent days, and we have taken great strides on the march to victory."

As of late Thursday, at least 69 Americans had died in Iraq in April. The toll was 31 in March, 55 in February and 62 in January.

Yep. Things are going just hunky-dunky in Iraq according to der Fightin' Fuhrer from Crawford. Of course, Custer wanted a bit more "sacrifice" when he had the Indians surrounded at Little Bighorn.

1. Shall we start with the twins?
At least Agamemnon put Iphigeneia on the alter before he set sail for Troy.

So the twins will do.

Besides, the gods may find their livers tasty.

7. And they don't even count the Iraqis
Bush is supposedly trying to bring democracy to Iraq. The least he can do is count Iraqi bodies better than Katherine Harris counts American votes.

4. Is he advocating suicide bombings?
Edited on Sat Apr-29-06 02:06 PM by One Honest Guy
If so, he needs to be brought up on charges, as I believe they are against Army's CoC.

You think I am joking? Nope. Everything this man says needs to be ridiculed and consequently analyzed, publicly. There needs to be absolute barrage of objections and questions from everywhere and on every topic levied against this administration and their supporters.

But with media like ours, and Dems lacking in the balls department, its not going to happen.

6. Well he seems to be inciting them with his rhetoric doesn't he?
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

He has probably provoked more suicide bombings than Bin Laden and Zarquawi(sp?) combined.

8. Here's an interesting statement -
"the enemies have suffered a real blow in recent days".

In what way? I thought this was one of the highest fatalities for US troops. For a while, we thought the numbers were going down. Now it seems they're spiking again.

I won't bring up the fact that we're technically bankrupt.

10. That sniveling chickenshit chickenhawk hasn't sacrificed
shit in his life for anything!! Unless it was missing a Skull and Bones meeting due to drug/alchohol intoxication. The motherfucker never had a job until he was 40.

I'm thinking of starting a website called presidentpsychopath.com.
