Answer Us Mister Bush

Posted 8/12/05 at 4:07pm by jamie

Why is it our administration just seems to be out of touch
with one another? In the last month we have heard different stories about troop
reduction in Iraq. On July 11, we heard that we could have 66,000 less troops in
Iraq by next summer. Then on July 28, General Casey said there could be a
substantial reduction by next spring. This seemed like great news.

Now we hear the President saying there is no clear
timeframe for troop reduction, and yesterday he dismissed the other allegations
of troop reduction as just “rumors”. So George, why is it that you tell us you
make your decisions based upon the commanders on the ground, but when one says
we could have a troop reduction you call it a rumor?

  • This lack of agreement amongst our top military leaders
    makes me ask these questions and others.
  • Has Iraq declined this much in two weeks that we can not
    think about bringing our troops home?
  • Will Gen. Casey get sacked like other generals who said
    they needed more troops when we invaded?
  • If your not making judgments based upon intelligence given
    to you by our commanders on the ground, then what are you basing it on?
  • Do you really know what is going on in Iraq Mr. President?

These are the questions that need to be asked of our
Commander in Chief. He seems to be on a different page than the top military
leaders. Perhaps we got these reports to see if it would help the President’s
approval rating. When he noticed it didn’t he said “the hell with it” and went
back to his old rhetoric of keeping the troops in place.

Presidential Speech - Same Old Bushit

The news event we all been waiting for has come and went. We were getting
pumped up for this great speech by our President; some skeptical we would be
given a plan, others skeptical of a better vision. What we ended up with is a
half hour of our lives down the toilet and a repeat of the same old facts.

My skepticism may have paid off some though. The President’s speech to the
nation tonight did anything but help his appearance. Instead of presenting a
diligent speech from the oval office, or making the people feel more in touch
with a prime time press conference, he took center stage at a military base. It
had the same ambiance of being on an aircraft carrier, wearing a jumpsuit in
front of a large banner that says “Mission Accomplished”. No in fact what should
have been a rallying point for the President, whose performance is overshadowed
by a constantly falling approval rating, turned into a repeat of more rhetoric
or to put it in his own words “catapulting of propaganda”.

At my count he referenced 9/11 a total of five times. Why is the President
making an association between Iraq and 9/11 again now that it has been proven
there was no link? The answer is simple – FEAR. This administration has shown a
strong desire to lead by bestowing fear amongst the masses. Rather it be in the
form of a bogus terror alert or false accusations of WMD, the President was able
to take the worst moment in our countries short history and turn it to his
favor. He used these associations to 9/11 to defend the war in Iraq now that he
has effectively destabilized the area and turned it into a training ground for
Al Qaeda.

Here we go!!

Welcome to my little place to rant on the internet. After almost 5 years of the rhetoric our current administration has caused in this country, I have decided that I needed a place to vent.

The leaders of our country have definitely become drunk on power, which is why I choose IntoxiNation as the name of this site. Since George has become president, we have seen 2 wars that are continuing to this day with no end in site, a declining economy, an incredible decrease in popularity amongst the entire planet, and most of all - constant scandals, corruption and lies that would make Bill Clinton look like the messiah.

With that little bit of ranting out of the way, please check back often as I am sure I will have daily rants to share on here, as well as humorous bits I find while surfing the last home of free press - AKA - the internet.

Happy Surfing!
Jamie
