More Bush Madness!

One definition of insanity is doing the same action over and over but expecting different results. Bush's plans in Iraq have been the same thing over and over, expecting things to turn out differently.

Since the beginning of the Iraq war Bush has said he would wait for the generals to tell him if he needed to send in more troops. Every general from Shinseki on has said they needed more troops privately, but when they say it in public, they are rewarded with removal from their command, all victims of Bush's reprisals for his own failed policies. General Abizaid has said publicly there is no more need for more troops, trying to save his job, but now Bush's handlers have decided there should be a surge of troops into Baghdad, so Abizaid has to go because he has publicly stated last week that there is no need for more troops.

Politically motivated wars are always difficult for officers careers to survive and very dangerous for soldiers lives.

Nouri al-Maliki the prime minister of Iraq agrees with Bush that more troops will help, but he says "hands off of Sadr City." That's where the 20,000 more troops need to go or the whole wasted effort will be a total wasted effort! The Army needs to lay waste to Sadr city to ever shut down the insurgency in Baghdad. Moqtada al_Sadr is the reason the whole effort is failing at the moment.

Senator Lindsay Graham said "We have paid a heavy price for not having enough troops in Iraq. Now we need more to make it right."

I have to question, if the Republican majority has known we needed more troops in Iraq for three years, why haven't they said so until now when it's politically expedient for them to say so to oppose the Democrats now in control? Not one Republican leader has had one child on the ground in Iraq during this noble cause, why? Bush's plan is to prolong this war so he can pawn it off on the next president. It doesn't matter to him if it's McCain or a Democrat, he despises both.
The Bush administration is in free fall. All the bad decisions of the last six years are finally collapsing in on them, suffocating the whole motley crew.

We have no money in the budget for education and law enforcement yet we have flushed hundreds of billions of dollars down the sewer in Iraq with nothing to show for it except dozens of General Accounting audits asking: "where'd the money go?"

Bush rants: "we can't afford to lose in Iraq," yet after three years he still has no plan other than more of the same failing strategies of the past.

It doesn't matter how long we stay in Iraq! Six months after we leave it will be just like it was six thousand years ago!

Bush has demonized any politico who opposed his folly these last six years, and it is still working. By the way Bush's approval rating is now at 30%. People are waking up and seeing the emperor has no clothes.
