George W. Bush surrendered to Osama bin Laden

Surely, it is getting tiresome to the see the mantra repeated that George W. Bush kept us safe from terrorists after 9/11.  While it is not surprising to see such remakrs from  pro-Taliban publications such as the Wall Street Journal (editorially praising the rise of the Taliban back in 1995), loyal Americans must be apalled.

The simple fact is that George W. Bush surrendered to Osama bin Laden's key demand: withdrawal of US troops from Saudia Arabia. This was, I believe, the first American surrender to a foreign military diktat since Correigdor.

In May 2003, the man who so bravely served in the Texas Air National Guard (while cowards like John Kerry hid in the jungles of Vietnam) aceeded to the key demand of the man responsible for killing thousands of Americans.

Surrender thy name is George W. Bush

This was not the first act of cowardice and appeasment by the favorite of such obese, impotent draft dodgers as Rush Limbaugh. The AWOL drunk in October 2001 used our tax dollars and planes to airlift hundreds (if not thousands) of terrorists out of harms way.  The "Airlift of Evil" or the "Al Qaeda Dunkirk" is rarely mentioned by the likes of Man Coulter. However, loyal Americans who consider Max Cleland a greater war hero than a serial draft dodger such as Dick Cheney should be horrified at this treachery.

Al Qaeda Dunkirk

In the 1980s Ronald Wilson Reagan sent Ollie North to grovel before the Iranians and beg for the release of American hostages.

In this decade, George W. Bush groveled before the killer of Americans so he could strut aboard an aircraft carrier and give a woody to traitors like G. Gordon Liddy.

The surrender at Corregidor was avenged in a few short years.  Alas, that was an America of different age where the so-called leading financial publication didn't editorially support America's enemies.

In history we learned about great Americans who bravely faced the enemy,

"Don't Give Up the Ship"

"I have not yet begun to fight"

"Nuts"

Now our politcal class honors a 'man' who didn't get all of us killed by surrendering to terrorists.

Political Satire for The Weekend

   Of course, Bush got most of the jokes aimed at himself.

David Letterman:

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, today is an historic day down in Washington because five living presidents had lunch together. George Herbert Walker Bush, George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama all at the White House, all having lunch. What a day. And while this was going on, John McCain was at Applebee's blowing on his soup."

"On this date in 2001 ... George W. Bush was certified as the winner of the 2000 presidential election. How about that? That turned out pretty well, didn't it?"

 

Jay Leno:

"Actually, there was one awkward moment, when President Bush asked all the other former presidents, he said, 'Don't you hate it when your approval rating goes below 15%?'"

"And you know, I think he's trying to struggle to come up with some accomplishments. They're trying to make him look good, you know. Like today, he took credit for ending the drought in New Orleans."

"Well, let's see what's going on. Unemployment is up again, especially if you're the new senator from Illinois trying to go to work."

"And Congress says this week they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. So The guy that made $50 billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $750 billion disappear."

 

Conan O'Brien:

"On Inauguration Day, Barack Obama is going to be riding in a brand new presidential limousine made by General Motors. Because, folks, nothing says 'hope for the future' like General Motors. ... The good news is that at least they sold one car, apparently."

"The Washington Post reports today that Barack Obama wants to select Sanjay Gupta to be surgeon general. Yeah, Obama said the CNN doctor must be pretty good, because he's kept Larry King alive all these years."

"Yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama talked about the recession. He described the economy as 'very sick.' That's what he said. Yeah. Historians say it was a childish way to describe a complex problem, but still the smartest thing they've heard a president say in eight years."

"Earlier today, Barack Obama's daughters started at their new school in Washington, DC. Yeah, their teachers are really impressed and said that both girls are already reading well above President Bush level."

"George Bush Sr. recently said he'd like his son Jeb to be president, but that right now is a bad time for him to run. When asked what a good time would be, Bush Sr. said, 'Eight years ago.'"

42 State Salmonella Outbreak

    Not sure of you are aware of this, I wasn't, but 400 people in 42 states have been struck by an outbreak of Salmonella. AND, once again, the culprit would appear to be peanut butter. That is what state officials  in Minnesota are saying at this time.

On Friday, the Minnesota Department of Health said preliminary laboratory testing found salmonella bacteria in a 5-pound container of King Nut brand creamy peanut butter. The tests have not linked it to the type of salmonella in the national outbreak, but additional results are expected early next week.

   Those state officials are not yet identifying the company that makes the peanut butter, but it apparently is not sold to the general public. So. who gets the food item?

  ...but is distributed in Minnesota to long-term care facilities, hospitals, schools, universities, restaurants, delis, cafeterias and bakeries.

The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that 399 cases have been confirmed nationally, with about one in five of victims hospitalized. They have not confirmed any deaths associated with the outbreak

   You can get much more information on this outbreak by going to the CDC.
