I watched W's speech the other day but I STILL think his war sucks [View All]

[Philosoraptor]

What's wrong with me? The pres. said he was embarking on a series of speeches at various locations across the land to sell his super duper war(s), and I did my patriotic duty and endured an hour of him reading words off a teleprompter.

But the lackluster delivery and smelly familiarity of his overused phrases left me less than stimulated, and I never once felt motivated to go enlist and fight the heathen hordes, or insist that my sons join up.

I feel like I'm letting the president down in a way, the poor schlub, standing up there so uncomfortably in his own drunken skin, trying so, so desperately hard to make us dimwits get it. Yet I just can't seem to buy what he's selling, maybe because it stinks so awfully.

I've been through this conflict before with a series of speeches he embarked on last year and the year before that too, and I will bite down hard and watch this week's attempts as well, just to say I did my duty, and maybe THIS time, I'll get it through my thick skull that the war is really cool.
