Bush says U.S. has "security issue" in Iraq

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N10341036.htm

GABORONE, July 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush on Thursday acknowledged that steady attacks on U.S. troops occupying Iraq had created a "security issue" that required the United States to "remain tough".

2. Chimpy can show us his "toughness" by strapping on a camelback

rather than his trademark dildo and catch the next hop to Baghdad.

Did the Chimp even have to go through bootcamp? I honestly don't think he's spent more than 48 hours straight in any type of military training. He has no empathy for or understanding of men and women in uniform. All he knows is, he's at the controls of the largest military force in the world, and he's like a drunk at the wheel (visions of youthful past misdeeds done).

7. Supposedly did 6 weeks of

basic airman training, but I doubt if this really amounted to the equivalent of army "boot camp". See this link for a good summary of shrubs military "record" (or at least what they will tell us about it).

4. Shrubspeak

Security issue: Dozens of troops exposed to deadly attacks daily.

War: Perpetual "combat" against an abstract--and preferably mispronounced--noun (think "terra.").

If that Texas Air National Guard photo of Dumbya was a Photoshop job.

8. Can they ever make Iraq a "secure" place?

The soldiers can't even sleep at night for fear of ambush. The fatigue factor of the men must be off the charts at this point (since they probably can't sleep too well in 110 degree heat, either).

What have we gained? :grr:

9. I like how it is the people of Iraq who are at fault

Notice how he does not say that occupying a foreing country for greed and imperialism is what is putting the troops at risk. Always somebody elses fault. He is a sociopath. He never has to feel guilty because he never does anything wrong, it is always somebody elses fault, if everybody else would come around to his way of thinking it would all be ok. That is a characteristic of a sociopath.
