Our president is a madman

Many of us have known this for years, but tonight it is confirmed. He is pushing a new policy in Iraq that is totally insane. It will kill more U.S. soldiers and spend more tax dollars for a war that was wrong in the first place and is not based on an imminent threat to the country.

I have always hated this man but tonight I feel horrified and frightened that he is our "leader". We have Brownback on the right, Hillary in the middle, and Pelosi on the left telling him no way. What more needs to be done to stop this man?

And what is HORRIFYING is, accoding to the pundits, the "20,000 troops" in Iraq actually in reality is 5,000 more boots on the ground at one time because that number has to be divided by four when deployment and decommission is considered. Put it this way, New York City has 45,000 cops on the street right now. 5,000 more in that one city might make a difference. But, in all of Iraq or even four problem areas, it is nothing.

Sadly, but unsurprisingly, Fox News is saying essentially, what the hell, let's give W one more chance

I am all for winning the peace, but it is time for the Iraqi's to take over their country. So, I support withdrawal of at least half if not all of out troops over a six month to a year time period.

This is exactly the point. If Bush were serious about "winning", he would put in way more than 20K troops. Instead, he came up with an amount that won't result in any change, but will result in more deaths to U.S. soldiers. This is beyond appalling...it is criminal. I'm sitting here knowing that our president is a total madman and feeling helpless.

I couldn't watch him. I haven't been able to for quite some time now because I feel the same way. I don't know what to do about it.

hit the mute button and then provide my own voicetrack for the Shurb-tator, of **** he would really like to say, example:

"Instead of sending more troops over to Iraq I suggest to Congress we send the citizens of New Orleans who are still homeless from Hurricane Katrina, that way they can earn their keep..."

I've been saying that for years.

Careful, you could get a visit from the FBI.

He is a madman. He's insane and would probably argue 2+2 = 5 and say that it was fact because he's the decider. I can't watch him either. And I don't even know the details about his "plan" because I'm so sick of politics. Yeah, that's right, you heard it here first. I really hope he is thrwarted somehow. We do have to put pressure on him, nobody wants this. I did sign that petition! I'm on TK's email list of course, being a Mass liberal and all.

Monkey Boy is an ASSHAT. with skidmarks.

It could be worse. He could have orchestrated the sale of nerve gas to militant terrorists, only to have it explode in Los Angeles- and assassinated the former president who was hot on the trail of stumbling over his conspiracy!

Oh wait, that's TV.

Bush can go to hell.

I was so shocked when I saw that.
