"Like most Americans, this administration wants to succeed in Iraq," the president said.

This is currently on the CNN webpage.

Only proves that HE DID NOT GET THE MESSAGE FROM THE VOTERS.

Americans want to get out mr.george.

1. AT. WHAT???!11!!???!11!????

Succeed at WHAT?

Please tell us, you stupid unelected tree sloth. Not a DAMNED one of us know.

[spanone]

4. That's the ultimate question. at what?

[LittleClarkie]

6. Well that's it. Succeed at what? How? How will you measure it?

What ARE you talking about Mr President. Or are you just cheerleading and saying WIN, WIN, WIN!

[HughBeaumont]

8. So far, the only two things they've been successful at are:

a) turning a once-sovereign nation who never attacked us into a bloodbath for it's citizens and our soldiers.

b) making piles of ca$h for contractor cronies.

The football game is being lost hand over fist, however.

[acmavm]

2. He is demonstrably mentall ill. He needs to be medicated and

locked up for OUR own good.

[ThomCat]

3. Like MOST Americans?

So who are these Americans he thinks want us to fail?

Not that this bastard has a true goal to succeed at, or the intelligence to know how to succeed, but if there was a goal that was possible and if he had the brains to achieve it then he'd have everyone's support.

Damn, what a moron. x(

[spanone]

10. The implication is that there are those (most of the population) who prefer failure.

Fuck you president boy.

This is a man in complete denial of the deterioration of the situation surrounding him. Who is feeding him this kind of bullshit?

Does he think he can ignore the will of the people?

A rhetorical question.

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. We already failed.

War is the failure of diplomacy.

[jelly]

12. My thoughts exactly.

Haven't you heard, the democrats want America to lose in Iraq. :puke:

[liberal N proud]

5. * does not define success, he just allows the killing to continue

At what cost?
When will the cost be too high? The cost in life as well as in the dollars lost.

[Avalux]

7. What does the word "succeed" mean? This is NOT a football game!

What a fuckin' idiot. x(

[jelly]

9. Conveniently omitted was that most Americans

also realize that success is no longer possible, and indeed, was probably never possible in the first place.

[goclark]

11. English majors~ what is wrong with that quote from the Chimpster?

"Like most Americans, this administration wants to succeed in Iraq,"

When will he go AWOL?

[Kelly Rupert]

13. I'd love to succeed in Iraq.

But that ain't happening.

[madmusic]

14. If he wanted to succeed, he would have...

Where's bin Laden?

Good leaders don't fail because they wanted to succeed.

[spanone]

16. 'Winning' is not an option....and he said he read the ISG report. Bullshit.

[subterranean]

17. The fact that he has assembled a team of "advisers" to tell him

what he wants to hear about Iraq also proves the message did not get through to him. The Democratic Congress will need to deliver the message more forcefully next year to MAKE SURE it gets through his thick skull.

[spanone]

18. ..and he only assembled 'the team' to counter-attack the ISG.

He would never have been curious otherwise.

[mondo obscurius]

19. This is a true statement

Don't be flummoxed by quaint pre-9/11 linguistic frames. In the BFEE's Orwellian vision the "real" Americans are the corporate owners. And Bush not only "got the message" from them, he got his job from them too.

They're still at it - trying to foist their "reality" on the rest of us. Either that or they're just buying time. Every day that goes by for this occupation means more profits for its engineers and stockholders.

[catnhatnh]

20. Like most Americans....

...I would like a BJ and a fifth of single malted scotch-unlike Bush, I realized I have layed no groundwork for either, so therefore, it AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!

[lapfog_1]

21. Most Americans... what we wanted.

Most Americans wanted to arrest Osama bin Laden and his terrorist organization, and if the then current government in Afghanistan would oppose law enforcement action on this point, then such governments would be removed from power, by force if needed.

Most Americans would have then wanted an acceleration of the Nuclear non-proliferation, especially reprocessing most of the stockpiles of cold war nuclear arsenal to non-weapons grade material, and additional safeguards including the destruction of almost all if not all biological and chemical WMD stockpiles by our own and other governments.

Most Americans would have wanted to disengage from the Middle East, leaving Israel to make peace or war with her neighbors as the case may be, but we would have hoped for peace.

Most Americans would have wanted Saddam to be removed from power, but not by us, but rather by old age or by a revolution or assassination by Iraqis. Most Americans would have hoped that a new dictator, someone like Tariq Assiz, to have taken over in Saddam's place, someone who would understand that without a dictator, Iraq would spin apart into a horrible spate of ethic and sectarian genocide... but who would also understand that real democratic reforms would be needed, and that sanctions having been lifted (no Saddam), the country's oil wealth needed to be put to use to employ young people of all religions, employ them on building a new future for Iraq, one not based on oil wealth. That western science and education coupled with Middle Eastern philosophy and values would someday provide a role model for the rest of the Muslim middle east (much like Turkey only Arab).

Most Americans would have wanted to take $300B that YOU spent on a stupid war and spend it on biofuels projects that might actually allow us to quit importing or even using oil and use biofuels instead. Brazil has almost done it, we can do it (and I have citations for the $300B getting us completely off petroleum as a fuel).

But then, MOST AMERICANS VOTED FOR AL GORE for President, not you and your neocon PNACer idiot chickenhawks.

[applegrove]

22. Why are we supposed to think this is not a lie too? What reason do we

have to believe anything said by this admin? Snow even admitted they needed time to parse the report. Why bother with a press release? They lie all the time. They never mean what they say. They are full of bullshit. They prefer myth to reality. They have contempt for the people of their country. Why should I believe this or anything they say? I know they want to break the bond between a person and government..but that is not working. I see only this WH as a bunch of useless liars. Why to they bother with a press release or even a press room? Why bother with a press secretary? Why bother to say anything at all?

[EnviroBat]

23. You no longer represent me, or most Americans for that matter, asshole.

[triguy46]

24. Hey! George! Wake the f* up!!! n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. Gee, my passport says I'm an American. Must be a misprint.

Cuz, I sure as hell don't want Bush's 'Murka to "succeed" in Iraq. Whatever the hell that means to dunce and his cronies.

[Disturbed]

26. Busholini's definition of Success in Iraq.

"And success is a country that governs, defends itself, that is a free society, that serves as an ally in this war on terror." GW Bush

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

29. His real definition of success is avoiding impeachment and war crimes trials.

[opihimoimoi]

27. I Love it....Bush is doing everything possible for the GOP to lose their asses

in 2 years...08 elections...

His astounding stubborness is costing the GOP big time....Why they are not gathering their spines to pull Bush off the Helm is a picture of their Wimpyness, their weakness, and their poor judgement.

Every Hour Bush is in Office helps our side.....

[spanone]

28. That's what makes it so difficult to figure out the stategy...He CANNOT be as stupid as he appears

But then again.....

[opihimoimoi]

30. Perhaps there is no strategy...just his dufusness ...the clear and present stupidity

compounded by stubborness and Delusion far beyond our comprehension that guides his Ignorant and immature mind.

Our Constitutional Framers would have an apolexy should they return to see this charlatan, this fraud, this perfect idiot in the White House.

Woe onto us who do not think before castin ye votes.....Sir Sun Tzuski Wongchee.
