Bush Scolds Congress About Iraq

George Bush has shown us beyond all doubt that when we as a nation need to make any kind of decision, all we need do is hear his recommendation... and do the complete opposite! If he says that something, anything, "makes no sense" we can rest assured that it is the only thing that makes any sense at all.

What I have difficulty with is the fact that anyone at all is even listening to anything the clown says. And this aside from my complete bewilderment that he is not being tried and judged guilty of high crimes against the American Citizens and all humanity.

Bush Scolds Congress About Iraq
President Bush on Thursday defended the slow pace of progress in Iraq, asserting "it is not foot-dragging" as Iraqi politicians try to reach agreement on political, security and economic goals.

Bush derided calls from Congress for troop withdrawals or deadlines so that the military could focus more on the anti-terror battle elsewhere. "This argument makes no sense," he said.

Bush offered his assessment of the war in a speech before a military audience of more than 1,000 people at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton.

Within weeks, Bush is expected to endorse the recommendations of Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq. Petraeus has proposed a pause in troop cutbacks to assess the impact of having withdrawn five combat brigades since December. He has argued that it would be reckless to shrink the American force so rapidly that the gains achieved over the past year are compromised or lost entirely.
