The First Catastrophic President In American History Says: "Not Satisfied With The Pace Of Progress In Iraq"

...........

I would put before the house this proposition: that George W. Bush is the first catastrophic President in American history. Even Richard Nixon at his worst, was a capable foreign policy President who opened the door to China, made negotiating progress with the Soviet Union, and with his many crimes and failures did not endanger world security.

America today stands on the brink of an arc of chaos, crisis, bloodshed and religious war that not only engulfs Iraq but could engulf the entire Middle East. For the first time in history our President cannot credibly be called the leader of the free world; in fact he has angered and alienated the overwhelming majority of people throughout the free world.

Not satisfied with the pace of progress in Iraq?

The truth about official Washington is this: the one area of bipartisan consensus is that people across the aisles ask whether this President is dangerously close to crossing a Captain Queeg line as a leader who sails further and further away from a rational and sane understanding of the damage he does.

RE:puke:

save for today. Peace between Egypt and Israel.

You are an idiot.

...that would have avoided the mess we are in today.
Reagan and the Republicans dismantled Carter's very wise Energy Policies.

Or else it's possible you might have stumbled into the wrong web site...

...dogshit. Give RimJob and the rest of the cowards our best, loser fuckwit.

freeperville since the election, eh?
oh yes, by the way, WHY isn't this post coming from iraq? do you need to learn how to download the enlistment forms? I would bet there is a recruiter very close to you--you MUST go see him tomorrow, first thing.

:evilgrin:

* is an idiot......we tried to tell you Repukes..But now you might be seeing the end of the the worst administration in the history of our country..If we learned anything from this President (and I think some Repukes have finally seen the light)... if a candidate acts like an idiot,talks like an idiot and appears to be nothing more than a puppet in a suit than well its probably pretty acccurate.Don't vote for him...

And by the way...

fuck off ya fuckin' freep.

war? Can you answer that?

:rofl:

It's ROANOKE, Virginia, NOT "Roanmoke."

You must be the child Bush left behind. :eyes:

for MANY YEARS, and actually FLEW MISSIONS, unlike Bush who scored so low on his flight test that they had to fudge the numbers to allow him to SKIP ahead of REAL MEN, who probably DIED due to his CO PILOTING (perhaps), a Decommissioned Air Plane, that would never see battle.

That is called a FUCKING HERO, dork.

Bush is what is called a SISSY, a WIMP, just like his dear old dad.

Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize, BUSH is a Whining MONKEY and his father is a Bawling Senile Hyena.

Get REAL.

ON EDIT: DAMN, gone already. Just when I was going to make him a Democrat :)

McGovern was a bomber pilot.

He was a Navy vet, but left at a fairly young age to run the family business and get into politics.

but in my defense, I have somewhere a picture of him in his full flight suit, in a cockpit of a jet and underneath it said that he was in the military for many years, more than 10 I believe it said.. I assumed he was at minimum a pilot in the Navy, I've searched all over Google for that pic and can't find it, but I DID put that pic in one of my flash works, and will continue to look for that..

To me that made him a flyboy, and it appeared that he flew missions from the photo.

However, the rest of his bio shows him to be an exlempary Human Being and a Hero, so we know that for sure :)

Thanks for pointing out his wonderful record..

Give me an example of how Carter squandered a trillion dollars, thousands killed and tens of thousands maimed for NOTHING, with bonus points of spreading catastrophe in the M.E. region.....other than 400 staffers in Iran's diplomatic mission being held captive after the Shah was deposed....are you comparing the two? Did Carter purposefully incarcerate those hostages?

Dimwit

:eyes:

You really really need it.

:cry:

....that'll speed up the pace of progress in Iraq. I'm gonna get me some of that crystal meth and then give the order, ya, that's what I'm gonna do, stop my daddy from cryin in public like that. Hey, Dickie....."

he's floating the idea the Bush Sr. is crying because the Baker group is in the process of easing Jr. out. I knew the Pugs had no respect for democracy in 1999 when they ran that creature for president.

use to salvage their party. They may also have to sacrifice the neocons. They may even be planning to off the shrub which may be why poppy cia boss was crying. Somebody has to take the fall for the shit that is coming down the economic pike.

after he stole the second election that he might be some kind of a human sacrifice before the end of the second term. He's so grotesquely out of his league (as is the rest of his admin), and in his clumsiness and arrogance he has revealed the ugly underpinnings of corporate power and some of its limits. And he was selected on the unlucky 20th anniversary.

On the evolutionary side, he and the cons have revealed every weakness in our current government structure by having no control over their psychopathic compulsion to lie, smash, and grab. This points the ways that we have to change and what we have to protect to reestablish and hold on to our democracy.

Time will tell if this feeling that he is threatened is prescience or fantasy.

But, if the investigators get too close to Cheney, he could easily choose to retire "for his health." Then, a more photogenic VP could be picked. McCain? "In a stunning display of bipartisanship"--Leiberman?

At that point, Bush might make an excellent "dead hero." After all, it wouldn't be the first time a Lone Gunman made things easier for That Gang.

(Let me point out that I want Bush to live a long & bitter life.)

I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that"

we were fighting them over there! Over there instead of over here. And that 9-11 canged everything! EVERYTHING! and those strawberries . . . there WAS a duplicate key to . . . he trie dto kill my DAD! My dad. And now my dad only loves Jeb and not me anymore. But I could prove it, with geometric logic! . . . .

as we focus on George Bush we'll not get to the problem.

He's a psycopathic sycophantic criminal who can be counted on to sign off on the agendas of the corporate criminals but he is just the face and not The Problem.

Yep he's a nutbag that should be impeached immediately and sent to the rubber room with Rummy and Dick but that still leaves the root troubles for us.

more from the Brent Budowsky piece...

"Someday historians will look back with horror at the Stone Age ethics of an Administration that became a clearing house for torture, and a whore house for war profiteering in which fat men with fat wallets let young men and women die in the sands of Arabia, while they stuffed their pockets and larded their greed."

and

"I truly, deeply, sincerely, hope that he can be pulled back from the brink because the stakes are too high for our country and our world. The stakes are too high for the men and women who die, the Gold Star Mothers who cry, and the carnage, bloodshed and religious war that is spreading throughout the Middle East and will not be stopped by well-intentioned versions of a catastrophic policy, pursuing a disastrous war, with a President surrounded by carnage who says: he is not satisfied by its progress."

I need to type that again.

"a president surrounded by carnage who says he is not satisfied by it's progress"

This is some very powerful stuff by Mr. Budowsky.

and I too, hope for it too all work out. On the other hand, I,m not betting the farm.

Olbermann like in it's scathign condemnation.

if I had a choice of who to have over for tea or jack daniels...
I could not stand the stench of George in my personal space.

Such a bizarre statement and yet it doesn't get much scrutiny.

I guess the writer is not asian.

for that practical matter. The Wheels of Imperial America turn ruthlessly without wear or tear it sadly appears. :silly:

Genocide is criminal.

oedipus wrecks.

Caligula the Lesser may turn out to be more, less, or equally catastrophic.

Actually, I think this writer has a rather short notion of history. He says, "For the first time in history our President cannot credibly be called the leader of the free world." The very term "leader of the free world" is a 20th century term. Well, for that matter, even "the free world" is a 20th century term. I seriously doubt that any contemporary of Franklin Pierce ever called him "the leader of the free world." No American president before (choose one: FDR, Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt) could credibly be called the leader of anything but the U.S.

Only one president before Truman could truly be called the leader of the free world... George Washington.

and I've been pushing HARD for this.

BUSH IS INSANE. Say it with me, pass it along, get it on every pair of lips in this nation, and all the water coolers in every office.

BUSH IS INSANE and NEEDS to BE REMOVED from OFFICE NOW.

This is the answer. America my be Impeach fatigued, but let's make History and REMOVE pResident who is INSANE.

It will work, everyone would think that it's a COOL thing to do, and people LOVE that :)

Plus it's IN the constitution.

A rubber room's too good for him!

I would be willing to bet that a growing number of GOPers will also see the light. Of course, they have the most to lose.
My worry is with the democrat party. Too many of them are STILL TOO TIMID on issues of national security, (no, not those framed by bushco, but true national security) constitutional rights, and more. If our own party fails to stand up to the task at hand, we are in serious trouble 2 more years of serious trouble.

it will take 4 minutes as he has only 45 neurons left intact....the poor thing, check out the pockets for ball bearings...

Budowsky's piece is one of the best I've read all year. He NAILS it with the phrase, "catastrophic presidency." And all the feckin' idiots who voted for Bush, and voted for him again, should share every inch of the shame of bringing this country to the brink of self-destruction. But they won't have the sense to feel any shame. Like a typical "modern conservative," they'll blame everyone else but themselves for what's happened.
