...he's a total idiot, and so is everyone who voted for him...

Mr. Bush made a speech today in response to cries to pull out of the-war-which-should-not-be (Iraq). This is me, tearing him a new asshole:

Bush: "As Iraqi forces gain experience and the political process advances, we will be able to decrease our troop level in Iraq without losing our capability to defeat the terrorists."

Quill: That isn't going to work; it hasn't been working, and it's not going to start working now. Your administration's push for this "war on terra" has only succeeded in getting our troops killed, and fueling and uniting - and creating - more terrorist attacks, just like the recent one in England.

Bush: "Setting an artificial deadline to withdraw would vindicate the terrorist tactics of beheadings and suicide bombings and mass murder and invite new attacks on America."

Quill: So what you're saying is that by pulling out of this war, which is exhausting our military and veering focus away from the REAL terrorists, like Osama Bin Laden, it would show weakness on our part to the terrorists and give them some sort of victory? Nope; sorry, you stupid son of a bitch...by pulling out of Iraq, we're fixing a mistake YOU caused with your lies, spin, and propaganda; we're taking steps toward fixing our now-non-existant good standing with the nations of the world; and - and this is key - we're showing that we're no longer stupid enough to blow our military load on a pointless endeavor that has absolutely nothing to do with the ideals we're claiming to fight against.

Bush: "To all who wear the uniform, I make you this pledge: America will not run in the face of car bombers and assassins so long as I am your commander-in-chief."

Quill: You're again dodging the issue and missing the point - but then, you've been slow and outright ignorant on the uptake your entire political and adult life as always. The troops that your'e pledging steadfast, American bravery to are the same soldiers out there in harms way for a war that our entire fucking country was "duped" into pursuing - you said there were WMDs; that was proven wrong. You said there was a connection between Saddam and the 9-11 terrorists; that was proven wrong. You claimed these two things to our country, and to the rest of the world, and when that was proven wrong, you backpeddled and held fast to the claim that it was all true. In the face of overwhelming evidence of your lies and spin, you dodge it by preaching bravery and morality and democracy.

It's not about "running away" from terrorist regimes; it's not about leaving a mess behind that we're now obligated - because of your cocaine-sniffing, silver-spooned, election-fixing ass - to clean up; it's about pulling out of a war that not only wasn't our place to start and shouldn't have been our focus, but is also a growing lost cause.

(On a side-note, where was your compassion for the people of New Orleans after Katrina?? Where is your compassion for our environment, for the victims of our shitty health-care system, for our less-fortunate? Where the fuck are your moral intentions THERE?!)

Bush: ""We should not fear the debate in Washington; it's one of the great strengths of our democracy that we can discuss our differences openly and honestly, even at times of war."

Quill: Really? Then why do you constantly skirt issues and questions? It's because the answers you have would hurt your flailing approval ratings, so you spin it into something else and change the subject...

Bush: "Your service makes that freedom possible. And today, because of the men and women in our military, people are expressing their opinions freely in the streets of Baghdad as well."

Quill: Great! Oh, but wait - only half of those people wanted that democracy. The other half didn't, and that half is the half that you are FORCING democracy on. Yeah, Saddam was a problem that needed to be dealt with; and yes, you're daddy dropped the ball the first time. But it wasn't necessarily your ball to pick up, and certainly not in the way you went about it. You rallied the American people around the cause of fighting terrorism, and then used that passion and drive, combined with the spread of fear of terrorism and "selective" intelligence to rush us into something entirely unrelated for the satisfaction of your own agenda. The ONLY good coming out of this entire thing is that the people of Iraq are out from under Saddam's thumb, but that result is still coming at a high price to this day, and as it's becoming very clear at this point, even that stands to lose out in the end. You can't force democracy on a culture that isn't ready for it, and doesn't fully want it. We are now the crutch on which a crippled Iraqi government leans on, and will continue to lean on due to the total lack of ability to be self-relient.

Bush: "Most Americans want two things in Iraq: They want to see our troops win and they want to see our troops come home as soon as possible. And those are my goals as well. I will settle for nothing less than complete victory."

Quill: Your goals are different; you seek to continue this thing until a utopian, perfect-world, happily-ever-after outcome occurs. It's not about bravery for you; bravery would be to admit that you misled our nation into this war, and you made a mistake. It's about being a stubborn asshole who wants to fill his father's shoes, as well as the shoes of the great presidents of our nation, and also about greasing the palms and scratching the backs of your entourage...

Once again, you spin the issue into the spread of democracy and freedom. Fuck that. Don't read me wrong, I'm all for freedom and liberty, but when the American people want us out of this thing; and half our government want us out of this thing; and the Iraqi government want us out of this thing along with the rest of the world; and we're failing miserably and getting embarrassed on the world stage...then it's pretty much time to quit.
