Reply #30: hiding in Crawford from one brave mother [View All]

[ArthurRuger]

The only way he can stop his popularity slide is to go into hiding.
With every public word he utters, Mr. Bush only slides further along the slimey slope.

There's not much left. Popularity and clout down to 38%.
He's hiding in Crawford from one brave mother whose son died in Iraq.
And he says "We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq."

Today Dahr Jamail published the following thoughts from those who've been there in uniform and done that. ANTIWAR.COM:

I see this guy in the most prestigious office in the world, and this guy says 'bring it on.' A guy who ain't never been shot at, never seen anyone suffering, saying 'bring it on?' He gets to act like a cowboy in a western movie…it's sickening to me."

"I don't think Bush will ever realize how many millions of lives he and his lackeys have ruined on their quest for money, greed and power," he says, "To take the patriotism of the American people for granted…the fact that people (his administration) are willing to lie and make excuses for you while you continue to kill and maim the youth of America and ruin countless families…and still manage to do so with a smile on your face."

Taking a deep breath to steady himself he continues as if addressing Bush first-hand; "You need to resign, take the billions of dollars you've made off the blood and sweat of US service members….all the suffering you've caused us, and put those billions of dollars into the VA to take care of the men and women you sent to be slaughtered. Yet all those billions aren't enough to even try to compensate all the people who have been affected by this."



Proof that the office conveys no wisdom in and of itself is now so bittersweet and beyond any tragic humor. The leader stands alone and those holding up his pedestal seem to be struggling to get a handhold that does not crumble on contact.
