Isn’t He Dreamy?

Two things I’m really tired of are the president of the United States sounding like a total moron about matters of life and death and the so-called liberal New York Times indulging his moronic-ness as if it were a Neocon version of Tiger Beat.
Bush sounding like a moron can be found here:
Mr. Bush told the prime minister that he had come “to look you in the eye.” He repeated the phrase later at the palace, when he told troops and other Americans he had come “to look at Prime Minister Maliki in the eyes and determine whether or not he is as dedicated to a free Iraq as you are.”
Excuse me bub, but that’s not the way life works. You can’t fly across the world, have a couple of photo ops for a few minutes with a guy whose language you do not speak and whose country’s history you know nothing about and “determine whether or not he is dedicated to a free Iraq.â€
No, no, he looked him in the eye for fifteen minutes. Really, he just sat there looking him in the eye. Just showed up at the place, sat him down in a room, and looked him in the eye.
This guy is really dumb and nuts.
Maybe that’s why Iraq is gonna put Amerikkka flat on it’s back.
We will be lucky to avoid a ‘Mogadishu Moment.
Frankly, I don’t think we will.
It’s unfortunate the current administration has made so many miscalculations on how to efficiently establish a base for extending security in Iraq, but we won’t give up. The next administration will probably get to take most of the credit for smoothing things out. There’s a lot of risk in places like Iran, and even Saudi Arabia — there is a good chance they are going to need our help, too. Hopefully they won’t but if they do need help, they’ll get it, just as long as we can sit down with them and look in their eyes and feel confident they have the determination to succeed. That sort of sacrifice is what America is really all about.
mission accomplished, part 2!
