I'm so mad...

I had to wait a few days before I posted this up here post George W. Bush's speech the other night about Iraq. Of course this damn mastermind, his big bold new plan was to, get this, as if you haven't heard yet, was to add more troops to Iraq. And to make it worse, he's only adding 20,000 troops to the country. First, that's not enough. Second, just about anyone who is anyone in the world of military strategy has been telling him that more troops isn't going to really do anything. And of course what does he do? He ignores everyone, and looks for answers that he wants to hear. The other thing is, we had this big how to do about the Iraq Study Group, and what did the big old dumb ass do with that? Nothing. Nothing at all. He has ignored every single recommendation that they made back at the end of November. Everything. He ignored it, all of it. You can download the report and recommendations with this link. Check it out for yourself, completely and utterly ignored everything.

Now, during his speech the other night, he mentioned Iran and Syria. You know where this is going right? He is going to expand this damn war into the neighboring countries, and we're going to be fighting 2 more countries in this region. And you can be sure as shit that for good measure, Iran is going drop a few bombs over the border into Israel, drawing them into the conflict. Lebannon, might as well count them in with everyone else. And of course Saudi Arabia has to protect their interests, and so on and so forth. The whole region has a good chance to fall into total chaos and disarray, and we stand a good chance, if we follow Herr Bush, to lose more American lives on the ground there, and to suffer greater losses for the people of Iraq, and the middle eastern region in general.

The other thing that really caught my attention, and most people seemed to have missed was the call for at least 90,000 new recruits for the armed services. Now, since recruiting is low and going lower due to the on-going war, where oh where do you think George W is going to get another 90,000 recruits? Can you say draft? That is the thing that could happen. If he doesn't get the men and women that he needs to continue this war, where else is he going to get them? Draft, in full effect. Expect the lottery to start as soon as Iran starts attacking our troops because we dropped some bombs over the border. Kids, aged 18-40 probably will be available looking at the new requirements. Now, this might not happen, but if you're just getting on towards graduating from high school, and don't know what you're going to do yet after you graduate, just get into the Air Force now so you don't get drafted into the good old infantry. While there is nothing wrong with being an infantry soldier at all, they are the ones who get shot at the most.

What it boils down to for me is that the pure arrogance and ego of this asshole George W. Bush, astounds me to no end. Just today, he was calling for people who oppose his plan to submit their own. Hey George, check the link above, we had this whole Iraq Study Group thing that went on before. Remember them? Again, they had a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't correspond to your plan. And again, what did you do? Ignored it. Turned up your little silver spoon nose at it. Jack Murtha, also had a plan for a phased withdrawal of American troops. Nope, you didn't like that either. There were and are plenty of options out there you goon, but you choose to ignore them. And by ignore, fail to register that they exist. This has got to stop because you my friend are pulling down the entire country because of your arrogance, pride, and your ego. You are the most dangerous President ever. I'll take Clinton getting a BJ in th Oval Office any day of the week compared to you. You are a walking disaster, and I hope that the new Democratic Congress takes oversight very seriously, and starts to crack down on you, and let you run unimpeded through the country.

I had a friend of mine describe this new plan to me, and he put it best. The way he described it, and I agree with was as follows, "This new troop "surge" is just 'stay the course' in a nice new shiny wrapper." I think that he's right. I'm mad, I'm discouraged, and feel like now the country is heading into almost certain war with not only Iraq, but with Iran and Syria.
