"The American people expect us to work together to support our troops. That's what they want.They do not want the government to create needless uncertainty for those defending our country and uncertainty for their families. They do not want disputes in Washington to undermine our troops in Iraq just as they're seeing clear signs of success."< ( he's kidding, right? ) G. Bush, while visiting the Pentagon
"Let us tell our men and women in uniform that we will give them what they need to succeed in their missions, without strings and without delay," Bush said. "I ask Congress to provide this essential funding to our troops before the members leave on their Christmas vacation." Yahoo News
So here we have resident Bush at his usual fine art of trying to tell the Congress that they aren't supporting the troops if the Congress does not give Bush the check that he wants. I wonder, does this idiot ever fucking listen to himself? He sounds like an 8-track tape player that never stops. Every time I here this creep I end up having to reach over for the barf bag because he's so sickening! hopefully this punk will leave on his Christmas vacation and if we get lucky, it'll be permanently!
But my problem on this isn't just Bush by himself, it's the Democrats also. At this point in time, every time Bush spouts the support the troops bullshit, the Democrats cave in and give him what he wants. Did we elect these fucks in 2006 to sit back and say " sure thing George " every time he wants money for nothing? I'm not sure about you, but I didn't. I voted for my Representatives to stop the blank checks to George and to fund our troop withdrawal from Iraq.
The Democrats have said that they will not send George a funding bill at all this year so the Pentagon says that they will have to start curbing spending in other areas next month if they don't get the cash soon. Once again, this is nothing but BULLSHIT since the funds are there for well beyond next month already. Civilian layoffs,reduced operations at the military bases and the termination of contracts? This is Pentagon propaganda once again that was more than likely ordered by Cheney and his buddy Bush.
Cheney is already looking at the prospect of impeachment by his peers and Bush should be the next in line. Hopefully, the Democrats, (the older ones ) will wake the hell up and not fall for the Cheney/Bush fear card once again.
I said hopefully, but I doubt it.
