Bush on Surge Today: "Americans HAVE GOT to Understand It Takes Time To Move Troops From US To Iraq"
http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Embattled_Bush_pleads_for_patience__06282007.html

Bush, speaking at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, said the US military was at the "beginning stage" of its offensive in Iraq as the last of the 30,000 extra troops he ordered into Iraq arrived this month.

"As we finally got the troops there Americans have got to understand it takes a while to mobilize additional troops and move from the United States to Iraq," he said.

"And we got them there, and now we re beginning to move and there are hopeful signs," Bush said. "We owe them the time and we owe them the support they need to succeed."

1. What we owe them is a sane, honest, rational commander in chief
and in that regard we have failed miserably.

2. We "owe" it to troops to put them in the line of fire?

5. And what--so therefore, we need to understand that the fucker was LYING????
Enough with this moving the goalposts crap. ENOUGH!!!

Jeez, I wish they'd make "Li'l Bush" the President for the rest of this assclown's term. At least we could be amused by images of him holding hands with Li'l Tony Blair and wearing Al Quaeda underwear on his head.....

And a cartoon couldn't do nearly the damage that this baaastid has done.

6. That's odd, Gen. Betrayus was saying just the other day that all the 'surge' troops were there.

He's constantly telling us what we just HAVE to understand. It's part of his "I'm the Commander of all I survey" delusion, when ironically he himself understands NOTHING.
