Bush On Iraqi Miliary: Won't Be Ready In 18 Months As Iraqis Suggest

What does HE know about Iraq's military readiness? He's not in Baghdad. He's some 10,000 miles away..

He also has the audacity to insult the intelligence of even the most Conservative of Americans (Not to mention the loved ones of our troops) by saying that while he would like to bring the troops home ASAP, the "truth" (The quotations are mine BTW) is that he's not convinced that they won't be wthdrawn in 18 months as suggested by the Iraqis and most people on the left.

Why doesn't Bush just admit it - He has NO intention of EVER bringing our troops home. He wants them in Iraq till it becomes HIS "idea" of a (sic) "free" Iraq. NOT the Iraqis idea of a free iraq.

Am I THE ONLY one who feels this way?

Abu Al Zarqawi Dead? Don't Believe It.

Here goes yet another take on the REAL deal...



The reporting of the death of Abu Al Zarqawi is nothing more than the Republican Spin Machine hard at work.



Why? Simple.



The Bush Administration knows that his numbers are at an all time low. As such, they will stop at nothing - nothing to pump life into them. But you see, they have one small problem.



It's all about the War against Iraq and NOT about domestic issues here on the home front that they're supposed to care about. As such, I have but three words to say in response to the spin machine latest bit of USELESS NEWS...



Don't buy into it.



Night is not day and all is CERTAINLY NOT all hunkey dorey as Bush & the Republicans would like to have you believe things are both here and abroad. Sure we dealt a major blow to Al Qaeda (That is if you really believe he's actually dead like the conservative Media and talking heads have been boasting and blabbing and bragging about all fuckin' day OR if you believe that Al Zarqawi was an actual person to begin with. More on that in a moment) BUT let's not kid ourselves here by suddenly allowing ourselves to be led to believe that everything reported by the Conservative Media to be the truth and gospel.



Now, do I really believe Al Zarqawi is dead? ABSOLUTELY NOT! In fact, I doubt he was ever actually a living person to begin with. Same goes with Osama Bin Laden. I mean, when was the last time you saw an American journalist interview either one of them? I don't ever recall seeing such an interview. (I do recall however some interviews with Saddam Hussein, but he's a living person, so his situation is different).



I may as well come right out and say it. I thinking that both Osama Bin Laden and Abu Al Zarqawi are (or were?) fictional characters wose names were whipped out at the whim of the Bush Administration whenever it pleased them. I'm also beginning to believe that it was the Bush Administration that was behind 9/11 as well. More on that in another post some other time.



Getting back to the Al Zarqawi business, I think that (Assuming we're even talking about a physically real human being here), he's in hiding. He always has been (Ever notice how it is the media only shows a sketch drawing of him?). Same with Osama Bin Laden (How old is that tape of him walking up those mountains that the media keeps using anyway? It's gotta be more than a few years old).



And what about those "appearances" by Osama Bin Laden on Al Jazeera TV? My take on those???



While the network itself may be real, I think Osama Bin Laden's "appearances" (If one even dares to call them that, which I, for one, don't) are all fake. THE ONLY ones that are real and genuine are the ones of him on and before 9/11 and the one with him climbing up those mountains.



ANYTHING ELSE after the war with Afghanistan IS FAKE. I know. You know it. The Bush Administration in particular knows it.



One other thing. When it comes to the subject of progress, why is it that all the Republicans can see is all the "tremendous" progress taking shape in Iraq and Afghanistan? At least the media tries to retain some sense of neutrality, but even that's because of the experience some (if not all) of the journalists over there have in covering wars. The Republicans won't even breach the subject themselves.



One of my brothers who now lives in Arizona was in town over the weekend and he summed the Bush Administration and its legacy up this way (Mind you I'm paraphrasing here)...



The Bush Administration would have you believe that night is day, roses are red, violets are blue and we don't have a woory in the world because everything is all hunkey dorey.



Ohh...How he couldn't be more right.



And that, ladies and gentlemen, is today's Real Deal.
