Bush: "I WON'T BE RUSHED!" US not leaving Iraq "until job is done"

[Bluebear]

Rejecting ideas of the top generals and defense department, shunning the Iraq Study Group, it's clear that the Decider fancies himself our dictator. Is impeachment STILL off the table?

====

President Bush said Wednesday he would "not be rushed" into a decision on a strategy change for Iraq, saying that in a round of consultations he heard both some interesting ideas and some "ideas that would lead to defeat."

"And I reject those ideas," Bush said after meeting with top generals and Defense Department officials at the Pentagon. He said those ideas included "leaving before the job is done, ideas such as not helping this (Iraqi) government take the necessary and hard steps to be able to do its job."...

Although the White House had initially suggested that Bush would deliver his speech on Iraq strategy before Christmas, he has decided to delay it until early next year.

Defending that decision, Bush said, "I will not be rushed into making a difficult decision ... a necessary decision."

1. get some new material..

you tired old hack.

[LSparkle]

2. He's well on his way to finishing the job

Bankrupting our country and running any international goodwill we still had into the ditch.

[sweetheart]

3. what an ass

Until his own blood is spilt, he's willing to sacrifice others for his ego.

He rejects his demise, but he's all washed up. Ha ha ha!! bush you fuck.

[BOSSHOG]

4. bush should put the gop in minority party status

for decades to come. He's the decider but he can't make a decision? Why waste the fucking efforts of those who talk to him. He's a rude, arrogant, ignorant, perfectly suited example of a "conservative" in 21st century America. Meanwhile our kids continue to die as bush's ever shrinking base get ready for Christmas.

[madokie]

20. once again he reminds me of an Ensign in the Navy

got the rank but none of the smarts

[maxsolomon]

5. swallow hard, bubble boy

you, and we, have already been defeated.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

6. It's official - the ISG Report and plan is now being used as toilet paper

I guess the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence toilet paper ran out.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. what's "the job"? Filling every single last war profiteers' pockets? nt

[Bluebear]

14. It's like he thinks it's a weekend plumbing project.

"We are not having a beer and eating lunch until the JOB IS DONE."

[Bozita]

8. Hey! He's gotta attend 24 Christmas parties. Being Prez is hard work ...

... real hard work.

[devilgrrl]

9. "until job is done"

* works?

[Atman]

10. "THE JOB" is the mega-embassy

It ain't done. Halliburton needs our troops as protection until the fortress is self-sustaining.

As Bush promised before his first selection -- "I'm gonna run America like a business."

It's only business. Lives are expendable.

11. "a war that we now find ourselves in"

:rofl:

He's really really really trying to distance himself from the fact that he started this clusterfuck.

:rofl:

"President Bush, just now at the Pentagon (emphasis added): "I thank these men who wear our uniform for a very candid and fruitful discussion about how to secure this country and how to win a war that we now find ourselves in."
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/011545.php

(how in the fuck did we 'find ourselves' in this war?

:rofl:

musta been somebody else. i didn't start this crap.

[WinkyDink]

33. He is using the royal "our": "our" uniform , to imply that he is also a soldier AND

that the REAL soldiers are wearing their uniforms "on loan" from him; and "ourselves", to imply not only that he is in a war not of his own making, but that he is also somehow in actual combat.

Bush does not refer to himself as being one of us, ever.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. Bush said the magic words "New Way Forward"

Gee, that changes everything. I feel so much better now. As an American war consumer, I will continue to buy this great American war product because it's now been new and improved.

[pdxmom]

13. Not be rushed??? 4 years isn't enough time to figure out your

ass from a hole in the ground???

[Disturbed]

15. Busholini will demand Victory!

Pentagon's Plan: More US Troops in Iraq

Boosting presence and aid, and an anti-Sadr offensive, carry risks but offer the best path to victory, military officials say.
by Julian E. Barnes


Outside the Pentagon, in other corners of government, officials are skeptical that an increase in military power will end sectarian violence. James Dobbins, a former U.S. diplomat and advisor to the Iraq Study Group, said many Iraqis believed that U.S. forces put them in danger, rather than improving security.

"The American troop presence is wildly unpopular in Iraq," Dobbins said. "Any effort to double our bet will lead to ever more catastrophic results."

Will the Dems go along as usual?

[Little Wing]

16. He's still measuring the drapes!

[Arkansas Granny]

17. That's right. Bush will only rush when he's heading us into a war.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. It astounds me that right wingers really think this pissy, whiny, petulant little man

is some kind of "John Wayne" figure. :rofl:

[Imagevision]

19. Who honestly believes Bush is competant to make a decision??

while US. troops get blown up daily! (Oct. 3571 Iraqi civilians were killed in Iraq) We have a madman at the helm who continues to stay the course to control Iraq's flow of oil. (victory)

[Botany]

21. What is the rush? We have plenty of flags & boxes.

[tabasco]

30. My sentiments too. You said it very well. n/t

[greenman3610]

22. this isn't just the alchohol. It goes back to toilet training

seriously.

[Rex]

23. Whatever shithead, the world will laugh at your grandkids and their

grandkids as well. You have become THE universal joke. Enjoy.

[Fire Walk With Me]

24. Can I hear 3,000 dead US soldiers? Going once, going twice...

Of course he wants to stay the course; consider the money they make daily on the invasion. Consider Iraq as a for-profit venture and it all makes sense. Considering that profit for the MilIndusComplex is all that is happening aside from the creation of new enemies (requiring more money for the MilIndus people... Creating causes and conditions).

Let's call it what it is. Business. And we're paying for it.

[rhiannon55]

25. "Until the job is done" is a meaningless cliche

Like everything else the asshole says. What will it look like when "the job is done"? When everything of value has been stolen from that poor abused country? When a million people have died?

I have never hated anyone in my life as much as I hate that horrible, arrogant, stupid, heartless little bastard. :mad:

[smirkymonkey]

34. I feel exactly the same way about that little, arrogant fucktard.

In fact, I can't even think of an adjective negative enough to describe him.

How on earth is that idiot still in office anyway? - he needs to go immediately. We can't wait any longer.

[Imagevision]

26. Don't forget, there was no exit strategy because they never intended to leave to begin with

the first thing they did before restoring water and electricity was to build the 14 US. bases.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

27. Only Terri Schiavo could rush Bush

forcing him to cut short a precious vacation and return to Washington on the week-end to sign special emergency legislation. Maybe they should dig up Terri Schiavo's body and send it to a hospital in Iraq and send some new video footage to Bill Frist.

[spanone]

28. He's a Cocky Shit.

[MzNov]

29. He will "decide" to bring the troops home when the Saudis

tell him he can bring the troops home. When we kill every last Saudi enemy by using our own children as proxy for a Middle Eastern conflict that Bush never understood and never will.

World Without Weapons

[SalmonChantedEvening]

31. Then perhaps we can rush you into leaving office.

And get someone in the positions who's decision making processes aren't timed with a sundial.

[mentalsolstice]

32. "Until job is done"" When has * ever completed a job? n/t
