Bush continues to lose it

This is what was actually said......

"David.

Q Mr. President, after the mistakes that have been made in this war, when you do as you did yesterday, where you raised two-year-old intelligence, talking about the threat posed by al Qaeda, it's met with increasing skepticism. The majority in the public, a growing number of Republicans, appear not to trust you any longer to be able to carry out this policy successfully. Can you explain why you believe you're still a credible messenger on the war?

THE PRESIDENT: I'm credible because I read the intelligence, David, and make it abundantly clear in plain terms that if we let up, we'll be attacked. And I firmly believe that.

Look, this has been a long, difficult experience for the American people. I can assure you al Qaeda, who would like to attack us again, have got plenty of patience and persistence. And the question is, will we?

Yes, I talked about intelligence yesterday. I wanted to make sure the intelligence I laid out was credible, so we took our time. Somebody said, well, he's trying to politicize the thing. If I was trying to politicize it, I'd have dropped it out before the 2006 elections. I believe I have an obligation to tell the truth to the American people as to the nature of the enemy. And it's unpleasant for some. I fully recognize that after 9/11, in the calm here at home, relatively speaking, caused some to say, well, maybe we're not at war. I know that's a comfortable position to be in, but that's not the truth.

Failure in Iraq will cause generations to suffer, in my judgment. Al Qaeda will be emboldened. They will say, yes, once again, we've driven the great soft America out of a part of the region. It will cause them to be able to recruit more. It will give them safe haven. They are a direct threat to the United States.

And I'm going to keep talking about it. That's my job as the President, is to tell people the threats we face and what we're doing about it. And what we've done about it is we've strengthened our homeland defenses, we've got new techniques that we use that enable us to better determine their motives and their plans and plots. We're working with nations around the world to deal with these radicals and extremists. But they're dangerous, and I can't put it any more plainly they're dangerous. And I can't put it any more plainly to the American people and to them, we will stay on the offense.

It's better to fight them there than here. And this concept about, well, maybe let's just kind of just leave them alone and maybe they'll be all right is naive. These people attacked us before we were in Iraq. They viciously attacked us before we were in Iraq, and they've been attacking ever since. They are a threat to your children, David, and whoever is in that Oval Office better understand it and take measures necessary to protect the American people."

Is the intell credible? Don't know.

Can GW actually read it and understand it? Don't know that either.

Can GW twist intelligence or outright make stuff up, yea.

If he was really worried about Osma Bin Laden, he would be out trying to find him if he is still even alive.

So all the troops we have in Afghanistan are just on vacation?

Last I heard Osama bin Laden was in the caves in Pakistan.

Oh, so you want to invade Pakistan then?

Absolutely. Yesterday. We should have done this years ago, because that's where the majority of Al Qaeda is, and they are our primary target.

Nice to see you're coming around to reason....

Given that the Shrub's butt buddy Pervez Musharref is only hangin' on by a thread, it would be well if we didn't stand on ceremony.

No, but to continue to search for him in Pakistan would have been ideal rather than gathering up most of the special operations troops and their CIA counterparts who were leading the search for bin Laden to head into Iraq like we did. But Bush didn't think Osama Bin Laden was very important Until now that is.


"This thing about . . . let's put 100,000 of our special forces stomping through Pakistan in order to find bin Laden is just simply not the strategy that will work."

Yea, going to Iraq really worked to find bin Laden.

The surge was seen as a last Hail Mary for Bush, it aint working, the American people know its not working. So bush has got to give them some reason to hold on. Up comes Bin Laden out of never never land of the forgotten.

I knew if we waiting long enough the other shoe would drop. He hasn't learned his lesson because he has never been required to own up to his previous exaggerations or pay for them in any way.

Experts Charge Bush Ignored Contradictory Intelligence Reports In Coast Guard Speech

They are only "experts" when they come out against Bush.

What do you mean losing it. The damn fool has been a sucessful loser his entire life. In fact based upon his history, losing is the only thig he has had success in. That is untill daddy and his rich buddies were able to buy the presidency for him. Since than he has been like a mad scientist,blowing things up wherever he gets involved.

The status of their expertise is not the issue. The issue is once again Bush left out parts of the intelligence which did not agree with his agenda according to those "who have knowledge of the matter"

Given Bush's track record on credibility; the odds are in favor of the 'experts' being correct.

I asked Osama about this over the weekend and he admitted some fatigue, but promised to keep up the good fight, since the only entity that thinks he is full of crap and heads a spurious effort against common sense and humanity always, for a couple centuries, has had elections willy nilly, or at least every 2 to 4 years.

He told me about 76 heifers or some such but I had to go flip the ribs.

We can beat these guys. Send the reporters back to the hotel, put some vet noncoms and ossifers in charge, and start counting.


LOL just looked at the Mike and Mark photo. Serious journalism........someone send them a pilot script!
