Double Down Bush....chasing the Pot with a Bluff...Its ALL IN..no choice but to bluff
with more TROOPs.

How...by extending their Tours of duty......by using the troops beyond their 2 tours...into 3 or 4 or 5 tours...He knows this would be unpopular but he is chasing the tail,,,,going for the "all in" thingy...hoping some good comes out of the mess....

Is he deluded? Sure looks it...but then, some strange things occur along the way of History...

The Odds??? Bleak at best....

1. Hard to bluff when you are the fish at the table AND your hand is exposed.

4. It's really "double or nothing".
"Double down" is when you get a good hand and want to increase your bet. "Double or nothing" is when you are losing and are desperate to get back to zero, so you place a big bet to try to recover everything.

6. The house has an ace showing.
Great analogy, opihimoimoi.

It's desperation time for the crazy little turd from Crawford.

The cards all show he's SOL andhe still thinks his deluded sweaty simian brow and frightened beady coke-whore eyes won't give him away.

13. Bush should stick to straight Crazy 8s or old maids!
Hop Scrotch and Dollies are too tough for him. The Power Puff in Chief needs to do things that don't get dangerous. Riding bikes and hobby horses are too tough for wimpy junior. Cheerleading might do okay, if he lets the girls do the dangerous moves!

14. The Wimp in Chief has himself in a corner with no hope of rescue..
His peeps are all afraid of him...he snaps and bites like a small terrior..when presented with bad news.

So...Bush is now all alone to decide the big issue ...whether or not to play...or take his glove, ball, bat, and go home....

It appears he will play with one last plunge....all the troops or go home....

50,000 troops, 30,000 troops...don't matter now does it? We canardly scrape up 5,000....our Army is Broke...so sez the troops Leaders....we ain't got shit....no mo troops...and yet, the Decider will want more...but how can he??? ??? This is what he must decide...How the Hell can he get 30,000 mo troops outta thin air?

He is , whats that Chinese word???.....Stymied!!!

16. Being the Fuhrer is fun at first and then it turns to shite!
Edited on Fri Dec-15-06 07:19 AM by Hubert Flottz
He should have finished reading the books he started reading about guys like his grandpa's buddy Adolf and his other buddy Il Duce.



It's fun while it lasts but...

That sudden stop at the end, is a REAL bitch!
