Every day I look at this shallow husk of a man and think “that’s the leader of the free world? That’s the man who holds all of our lives in his hands?”. And the oblivious one never fails to fail. Three years, thousands of lives and thousands of casualties later… Bush is going to announce his “victory strategy” for Iraq. It will most likely be the same idiotic speech that is the hallmark of his presidency, with a cherry picked audience that doesn’t dare question the man behind the curtain, and contain the same empty gestures that will doom the Bush presidency among the worst ever.

“We will not leave until we win!”
“Mr. President, how do we know when we have won?”
“When we have left! Next question.”
Dear World,
9-11 kind of made us feel really insecure, and we felt we needed a simpleminded thug for president just to scare people for a while. We’re starting to get over it now. Sorry it took so long.
Oh, and we won’t really be able to do anything about it for the next three years.
Really sorry! We don’t know what to say!
Signed,
America
George Bush has…
No charisma, no stature, no presence, no auctoritas, no gravitas, no dignitas, no principles, no scruples, no “compassion”, no empathy, no leadership, no generosity, no respect, no altruism, no conscience, no shame, no class.
What does he have?
Daddy’s name, daddy’s money, daddy’s friends, a superficial affability that might - briefly - be mistaken for a personality and a pig-headedness that might -briefly- be mistaken for character.
Wilbur, though you profess to speak for America, actually, you are only speaking for those that despise President Bush.
“Wilbur, though you profess to speak for America, actually, you are only speaking for those that despise President Bush.”
According to the opinion polls, that is over 60% of the country at the moment. If 51% is a “mandate”, what is 60%, JD?
So you admit he has talked about a “victory strategy” previously. You’re correct; he HAS repeatedly explained under what conditions the US will leave Iraq.
Well, be careful if you’re going to rely on polls for your argument. According to a Nov. 11 USAToday article (which confirms the low poll numbers for Bush’s job approval), a MAJORITY of people still see Bush as “likeable” and “strong and decisive,” which means JD has a valid point according to your standards of evidence.
Thanks for pointing out that poll, JWG. Lessee….
-37% approve of the job he is doing as president,
-”almost six in ten now say Bush is not honest”
-”a similar number say his administration does not have high ethical standards”
-”56% disapprove of the way Bush is handling foreign policy and the war on terrorism”
But you’re right: a majority (52%, a slim majority) view Bush as “likable”
But….
that figure has dropped (plummeted, one might say) from 63% in August.
Americans are generous; they like to think well of other people… until the evidence to the contrary just becomes overwhelming.
In the case of Bush, it’s becoming more overwhelming every day.
PS: The article claims that a “majority” rank Bush as “strong and decisive” without giving the figures for it. It does say this, however…
“Eighty-two percent of those polled describe Bush as “stubborn,” with seven of every 10 Republicans agreeing with that description.”
No one denies that Bush has low poll numbers in a number of areas. However, JD’s comment is supported by the evidence as defined by rhys.
BTW, “stubborn” can be viewed as either a positive or negative quality depending on the situation, so I’m not sure what it has to do with your argument.
BTW, stubborn can be viewed as either a positive or negative quality…
And the evidence suggests that a rapidly growing number of Americans view it as a negative quality in the case of Bush.
I never denied that JD’s point was trivially correct. That’s all you Bushbots have left in support of this failed regime: trivialities and technicalities.
