Im a realist not a conservative, hell I would rather be independent. I dont like the idea of being associated republicans or democrats. He is taking responsibility, he just asked congress for money for military operations and the such.
As BOBDN before me, you must be kidding. Taking responsibility would take a much shorter speech.
BUSH: We have a saying in TX well I think TN but maybe . . . I think we have it in TX too . . . anyway the saying is . . . "damn we really screwed the pooch this time . . . "
I spent my summer vacation raising money for my re-election campaign b/c my excellent stewardship of the economy, domestic security, and foreign policy has resulted in record national debt, rising unemployment, and a general disdain for our country throughout the world.
After raising $20m from the people that have benefited most from my policies and then tossing environmental protection out the window so my industry buddies can cash in . . . I remembered something . . . whatever happened to Iraq . . . and that other place . . . what do you call it . . . oh yeah, Afghanistan.
Rummy said all was going to plan. Condi said all was going to plan. Colin said, "this plan is fudged up!" . . . so we gagged him, put him in a burlap sack, and let the boys
re-educate him. Anyway, I keep seeing all these know nothings talk about how badly its going in Iraq and Afghanistan so I sent The Wolf over to check it out. He came back and said, "Mr. President . . . I have good news and some less than good news." I said, "damnit Wolf you know I don't do well with multiple choice . . ."
"Well Mr. President the good news is that we have terrorists on the run in Afghanistan and Iraq. The less than good news is that the terrorists are running to Afghanistan and Iraq."
"So what do you want from me, Wolf."
"Oh $80B or so . . . should cover the bill . . . for the next 8 months . . . give or take."
So my fellow Americans I told Wolf to get out of my office with that BS about wasting almost a hundred billion dollars of the taxpayer money to rebuild foreign nations . . . instead we need far less . . . just $87B to continue the war on terrorism. Before you know it we will be talking about how the war has been won . . . just like the War on Drugs.
