(Cross posted at my
4 day old blog that no one ever reads.)
I orginally intended this to be the snarkiest diary entry EVER, but I realized three sentences in that that was not going to be possible. This really isn't funny and is deserving of some real attention (for at least 15 minutes before it scrolls off the page).
BubbleBoy , as our current President has been dubbed, showed just how insulated he can be from the reality based world. I'm writing to beg, yes beg, for someone to call this man out on the absolute disaster this man is making of our country. I truly feel that if the country does "stay the course," it will take a nuclear bunker-buster, lobbed from some a nuclear power, to bring this man out of his bubble.
Honestly, I'd prefer if we rationally got GWB out of his bubble before China decides to incinerate his bubble and everything in the surrounding area.
What's gotten me so worked up today? Follow me on the flip...
I was sitting at work earlier and read something on the New York Times website. Not a whole lot of attention was paid to this article that I was able to find, but I think this deserves some major attention. As if we needed another reason to think our President lives in a bubble, just consider this headline for a moment:
Bush Said to Be Frustrated by Level of Public Support in Iraq
I'm not even going to begin to claim that I'm a foreign relations expert, nor am I going to claim to be an expert on anything. However, I think I have a little common sense that might lead me to believe there are
several,
several,
thousands, of
reasonswhy Iraqis MIGHT
not be so supportive of
our little misadventure out
there. (I had to find ways of lengthening that sentence so I had enough room to get all the links in. And I still need
more.)
Yes, my fellow Americans, probably the last person to realize that Iraqis have not embraced us wholeheartedly might be the person who sent us off to war in the first place. Not to mention, the president was "puzzled" that 10,000 Shiites gathered in support of Hezbollah in an anti-American rally.
This all occurred at a lunch at the Pentagon with the President's war cabinet and other "outside experts." Several of them raised concerns about "staying the course," but, as has so often been the case with this Administration:
Participants said Mr. Bush appeared serious and engaged during the lunch, which lasted more than 90 minutes, as the experts went through a lengthy discussion of the political, ethnic, religious and security challenges in Iraq. And through it all, Mr. Bush showed no signs of veering from the administration's policies to support the new government and train Iraqi security forces to take over the fight, and only then bring American troops home.
(emphasis mine)
Some seriously needs to bring this man back to reality before his land of make-believe clashes with reality in some other area of the world that isn't quite as technologically disadvantaged as the Middle East. I can only hope and pray Democrats can win enough elections in November to inject some sanity into the Administration before a clash with North Korea really gets ugly!
