Here's a quote from GW's press conference today--

"Congress has all the right in the world to fund. That's their main
involvement in this war, which is to provide funds for our troops," Bush
said. "What you're asking is whether or not Congress ought to be
basically determining how troops are positioned. ... I don't think that
would be good for the country."

Technically, he's right....it is Congress's job to work out the funding.

And after all, with the bang up job GW's done running the war, why would
anyone want to mess with that?

I mean....heck, come on!

The last sentence is the one that cracked me up most...."I don't think
it would be good for the country."

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

That sentence, from the lips of the one person who's done more to harm
this country than anyone else.... in *decades!!!*

Yeah....he knows what's good for this country.......

It's *almost* funny. But these days, it's just plain SAD.

Mike

Shit, it's tragic beyond belief!
It will take decades to undo all of the fascist damage that demon
has done, if at all possible.
