Bush: "I Think There's A Certain Level Of Frustration" With Iraq Progress

AP :

President Bush acknowledged frustration with the troubled government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Tuesday but said it's up to the Iraqi people to decide whether to continue supporting him.

Stopping short of offering an endorsement, Bush said it was not up to the United States to give a verdict on al-Maliki's government.

I'll be glad when I wake up from this coma.

You see,here in my head,we've elected the retarded son of George H.W. Bush as President,and he's led us into some really fucked up messes all over the Middle East.

I really hope I wake up soon,because it's scary inside my head.

No doubt one of the brightest things Bush has ever said and no doubt, that brilliance was inadvertent.

"...it's up to the Iraqi people to decide whether to continue supporting him [Maliki]"

Here's the problem with that. The Iraqi people haven't even voted in their local government. There are people who have been on the local neighborhood advisory councils (appointed) since 2003! Without an actual vote. Saying that the Iraqi people will "decide" is stupid. He'll either be shot dead or resign of his own free will (or pressured).

This double-talk baffles and frustrates the hell out of me. We tell them what to do one minute, then sit on our hands and expect them to decide on something the next minute.

I know what I do when somebody does that to me...I say "screw it" and I get some chips and watch TV.

4 more months, then it's bye-bye Baghdad for me!

Bush will be seriously frustrated once the American Patriots string him up by the neck.
He will live about thirty seconds, twitching at the end of a noose, wondering "what went wrong?".

This is a fantasy of mine. Bush is such a coward that his end will likely be a bullet from his own gun, and his finger.

Should Bush not second the call for Al-Maliki's ouster by parliamentary means?

That "certain level of frustration" cost the GOP both houses of Congress and will cost them the White House in 2008.
