Bush admin = arm twisters
- remember Gonzo at hospital bed seeking a signature from a very sick admin member
- now Bush admin telling General Petraeus not to speak his mind so frankly.

Of course those amongst you in the 30% of Bush fans will sight obvious gains -even though ignoring the costs and why. Displaced Iraqis in hundreds of thousands -rival religious segments of populations vacating areas which is a result of successful death squad shite liquidations.
Judging by Bush's speech, the gullable would think everythings smooth sailing in Iraq's imminent future - if we stay the course. Bush is using a General Patton trick-in the rush into GermanyWW2 Patton had a trick of getting a load of the limited supplies available to all the allied generals on that Front by asking for a little bit at a time so as to never get refused- and then keep asking for a little bit more - and more....... You thought Bush would keep his word and tell us the surge would end now as scheduled- hah---- now he's saying wait a bit more until next Summer......... one could get the impression he wants too prolong his screw-up into the next Presidency so they will get the blame when the effort in Iraq fails/goes worse.....
Surge has failed to bring political stability in Iraq. The present govt. is a puppet for the militias and no doubt Iran's whacko leadrership. Shites will soon fight each other power grabbing rights.
All I heard Bush ramble on about is military successes. Troops are human beings - the war effort has gone on too long -the effort is tiring and draining ->nearing breaking point -especially when the CinC has no clue when the military side of things would end----- land no clue about what would happen after Iraq is 'free'. That's when the real fireworks will begin with factions and groups wrestling for power with each other -as a result of no leadership unifying everyone.
What's really revolting in that 'speech' is the continuous referencing to 9-11.
I'll keep saying it - why does Bush keep babbling the stupid fantasy that pee-on cannon fodder al quaeda ops trickling in from Syria [ even 10% of enemy activities there?] are who will be landing in the USA and elsewhere to bring streetfighting terror on our doorsteps. Definately fear-mongering crappola - Bin Laden's all set and recuperated because of Bush's thick-headed crusade-delusional single-mindedness.
I hope some wrath kicks the asses of most of the Dems in congress/senate/presidential race to stop being pansies by only thinking about hedging their bets on 'the surge' results to look good in the next year in making insincere speeches to voters.
