Bush Calls Average Americans "A Bunch of Idiots"
OK, not really, but he might as well have!
Did anyone see the speech Bush gave last night in a last ditch attempt to save his ass? Well honestly I didn't either (I've been moving), but I've been reading different accounts of the speech all over the news sites this morning and it's become blindingly obvious that Bush believes that middle America is full of idiots; since he was reelected last November he might be right.
Our illustrious leader is once again invoking 9/11 fears to promote a war that had nothing to do with 9/11. "We fight today because terrorists want to attack our country and kill our citizens -- and Iraq is where they are making their stand," he said. "So we will fight them there ... And we will stay in the fight until the fight is won."
So, why are they making their stand in Iraq? Because we put them there. Bush is still trying to blame Iraq for 9/11? He is still blatantly telling Americans: hey, you're all a bunch of fucking rubes who will continue to take the shit that I am shovelling down your throat; and like it. Sadly it's only now, 7 months into his second term, that the voting public is finally starting to doubt Bush's rationale.
"What they have ensured, in invading Iraq, is they have actually promoted al Qaeda's involvement in other countries, including Iraq." Said Lynne Jones, a lawmaker in Britain's Labour Party headed up by Tony Blair.
"The president's frequent references to the terrorist attacks of September 11 show the weakness of his arguments. He is willing to exploit the sacred ground of 9/11, knowing that there is no connection between 9/11 and the war in Iraq," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
So we have comparisons to Vietnam, our biggest ally in the war has now publicly stated there is no connection, Bush's disapproval rating has risen to 53%, and over 1,700 American troops alone have died in this war! But we need to stay the course?
I believe the average American knows that we can't just walk out of Iraq tomorrow, we have built too much hatred there. What we want is some truth! Don't keep feeding us the same bullshit in an attempt to save you ass; we're not buying and it insults our intelligence. What we want is Bush to take responsibility for his actions instead of pushing the blame onto intelligence agencies, Al Queda, or WMDs. Just tell us the truth! And hey, if you don't want to tell us the truth about the past, at least tell us the truth about the present and the future.
