a fucking comma....

"that’s the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there’s also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy."

this is the quote from George Bush when Wolf Blitzer interviewed him recently on CNN. hmm, an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. now, i am a sort of betting kind of guy, and i'd put something down on the idea that somewhere in the world (or the middle east if you want to get specific) thinks the same thing of our wonderful nation. as unpatriotic as the right wingers may think of it, i must say that regardless of our government's agenda, as benevolent as it may be, don't we fall into that category? didn't our little preemptive strike destroy thousands of innocent lives in iraq?

while we're still here, why don't we just pick apart the whole fucking quote.

'seems like a decade ago'. of course it seems like a decade. and if something isn't done in the near future, we'll be able to say it has been an actual decade. in reality it's been longer. i know i was young, but this shit all really started in the 90's and has been an ongoing thorn in the side of the republican party since. listen here bitches, you don't have to be a "war president" to be a great president. be that as it may, some shit got started, and should've been dealt with right. and agreeing with my favorite talk show host, Bill Maher, i will say that if enough troops and equipment had been sent in the first place this would probably not be such an issue today. and quite possibly, we may not have noticed a conflict in iraq had it been handled a bit better. now we have the issue of soldiers in iraq without the proper armor on their vehicles, and the capability to destroy RPG's before they hit said vehicles, but can't use them because some greedy fuck wouldn't get the money, or contract how he'd like it. fuck you. we live in a country with endless funding, endless military, and can't put another country down in a matter of a week? c'mon. we already did it a couple times. Kuait, Bosnia, etc.

i'm not saying i hate our country, just the people who run it. what happened to the patriotism i remember? when will i be able to be proud of the place i live, and not think twice about ever going any further east than Maine without having to find a canadian flag patch in some suburban head shop first?

and what's this about all the killing will look like a comma on the pages of history when this is all said and done. is that on your 50 or 100 year plan, sir? what the people want is change. right fucking now! and not change in the middle east, but change on our own soil. what about the homeless vets i see and hear about at work everyday? what about the people, all of us, who pay our hard earned money into taxes that haven't produced anything positive in the past 8 years? instead, we see a failing economy, the possible failure of social security, an increase in the unemployment rate, and a signifigant decline in approval ratings. if everyone is really that pissed off about the way things are being done, why isn't something being done to change it. where are our Democrat leaders? oh, congradulating our idiot for his work on Katrina. fuck you too. to quote Stephen Colbert, I CALLED IT!!!! i said at the last pres election that the people lied about who they supported. they all voted for Bush anyway, and now we can't do anything about the problems we have. all of you swing votes, and moderates should have listen to it in the first place. and instead, we all lose. there are even republicans who can't stand our government anymore (at least the one's who don't go on FOX).
