1. Again with lowering the bar.

As with everything. Pretty soon he'll change "success" to "done," an arbitrary event. As in, "We're now done in Iraq. Congratulations to us all!"

2. So, I assume this means he has never said "victory" ?
What is it with these people and their Orwellian words?

6. Yes indeedy, they've successfully killed thousands, maimed untold numbers...

caused more families to mourn than boosh could count, and gave the entire sane world a deeper insight into the mind of madness that controls the puppet in the WH.

9. That does little good if he doesn't know what that is
Or if it means one thing one day something else the next, depending on which way the wind is blowing.

10. Only because it alliterates better with Stratagery
Next month he'll call it a Silk Purse. But you won't hear him define that one either! He's moved the goal posts so many times and just keeps getting a pass on it. :grr:

At this point, "success" for him will be finishing his term. Because once the formal on the record Hearings begin, the American people will be demanding Bushetals' head on the Impeachment table.

11. Anything less is "unacceptable"...Actually, this is him going through the stages of grief...
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 12:50 PM by Crankie Avalon
...you know, first there was "anger," then "denial," now it's "bargaining." Will he ever reach "acceptance"?

15.  this mess is WHAT THEY WANTED
The entire goal was to de-stablize the middle east and bankrupt the US. The goal is NEW WORLD ORDER, where chaos reigns. Moving all the wealth to the few at the top is so much easier with the world in chaos.

Our problem is that most humans tend to think local - my town, my state/province, my country. But these elites think globally, where a brutal dictator in some african country keeping millions under the thumb and oil under the ground can be just as effect toward wealth building as allowing the Chinese just enough wealth to become consumers.
