Worst President Ever

[forsyth]

As a last-ditch effort, President Bush is expected to announce this week the dispatch of thousands of additional troops to Iraq as a stopgap measure, an order that Pentagon officials say would strain the Army and Marine Corps as they struggle to man both wars.

Okay, so. We're supposed to take 20,000 troops from Afghanistan, where we're still fighting the people who actually sheltered Al-Queda, and throw them into Iraq without any plan, other than to let Bush try and stave off admitting that he and his totally fucked up Iraq from day one? In their quest to pretend they're not actually losing Iraq, they're going to lose Afghanistan. Where we actually had a chance to carry out all the stuff about rebuilding a country, creating a beacon of peace and democracy, really WERE greeted as liberators, etc. And so now that's slipping away and the Taliban are regrouping, and Iraq is almost complete chaos, so let's throw thousands of soldiers into Iraq with no plan for what they'd actually do, just to avoid facing reality and prop up their fantasies with more dead soldiers.

Fuck. He really is the Worst. President. Ever.

I just read about it too. Don't forget to mention that he's -completely ignoring- the advice of the Iraq Panel, His Own Generals, The New Iraqi Leader, and a score of others Who Are In The Know; who have told him that sending more troops to Iraq is not the answer. We've got people in Congress suggesting that we need to install another military draft, for the first time in years, and if Bush does this, it'll just about guarantee it. And to think, that the war in Iraq wasn't even necessary to begin with. People don't think about it much any more, but they never did find the wmds that was Bush's excuse for invading in the first place. Of course, now I know it was just that, only an excuse.
