REPORTER MUST ASK BUSH: If Dems cut off war money, will you leave troops in Iraq until last bullet?

[yurbud]

I think there is a good chance Democrats are just worried if they cut off funding they will be blamed for "losing" the Iraq War for a couple of decades just as they are blamed for Vietnam.

But a worse scenario is he will leave the troops there until they are out of water, food, and bullets, let them be killed, then blame the Democrats.

He essentially implied a threat to the troops when he said something that made no sense the other day: if Democrats delay the money, troops will have to go sooner and stay longer in Iraq. How could they do that without funding? Likely what he meant was either

1. The troops are going to stay no matter what.
   
   
2. He has the power to do what he likes with the troops and they will suffer if he is not catered to.

Someone needs to call his "support the troops" bluff.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

1. That's a great question!... n/t

[Monkeyman]

2. You know as nuts as the guy is I say he would

[yurbud]

3. I do too, which is why it should be asked.

[TahitiNut]

7. "nuts"??? (cough sputter gasp)

My associates and I are deeply offended to be, in any way, associated with the psychopath in the Offal Orifice.

This has been a public service message from the Association of Fruits & Nuts, Unlimited.

:silly:

[yurbud]

10. offal orifice makes me think of this pic of Bush:

I guess that's also the face he makes when Jeff Gannon comes over.

[TahitiNut]

11. Yep. And this one ...

[yurbud]

12. wow--it's like looking at his soul.

[meldroc]

4. The SOB would do it.

Bush, Cheney and all the sycophants they surround themselves with are psychopaths. They don't give a flying fuck about the welfare of our troops - just ask the ones at Walter Reed.

We all know damned well that if we simply defunded, without some more sticks to swing at the President, he would not use his remaining funds to bring them home. He'd leave them there until their equipment broke down, they ran out of bullets, food, water, medical supplies, and started dying. Then he'd blame the Democrats for letting our troops die. He is that evil. Rove would be egging him on while he did it, so he can score more political points and use the situation to come up with yet more swiftboat smears. They'd all be crying crocodile tears as our troops got torn apart.

We've got to impeach the sons-of-bitches. They don't belong in the White House, they belong in prison.

[tnlurker]

5. I think he implied in a speech last week.

That he would take money from units in the states to pay for the war. Delay training, delay buying new equipment, probably turn out the lights on US bases to keep the Iraqi bases functioning.

8. another question

what is YOUR responsibility to protect the troops, Mr President?

1) You didn't assure they had adequate training
2) You didn't assure they have adequate equipment
3) You didn't assure they have adequate health care and rehabilitation
4) You didn't assure they had critical mental health care
5) You didn't assure they had safe food and water
6) You didn't assure their mission was necessary for the safety of the USA


What is YOUR responsibility, Mr President?

[yurbud]

9. get thee to the White House press corps!

[rasputin1952]

13. Boy...doesn't that smack of WWII and der Fuehrer..."No units will give

back one inch, and they will remain until thelast man, the last bullet will be spent"...:scared:

[Forkboy]

14. Which makes asking Bush the question even better!

Put that bastard on the spot to sound like Hitler. :evilgrin:

[yurbud]

16. and I hadn't thought of that! and just like Hitler, the generals will quietly begin to ignore his

orders--and Hitler was a lot smarter than Bush. It probably wouldn't be too hard to end the war without telling him as long as someone went in and told him it was still going well while he's taking his nightly bath.

[rasputin1952]

17. Look at Crawford as Bavaria, and the basement of the WH as the

bunker and the picture is complete...:D

He won't go to his place in the "TX Alps", so he'll stay in DC, demanding that forces that don't exist go to the Battle of the Surge.

Instead of "Wolfsden", we can call Camp David, "Pigsty"...:evilgrin:

[jerryme1]

15. The Dems are giving Bush all the money he wants for the war..

It's Bush who is unwilling to accept the money. Thus, isn't he the one not supporting the troops?
