Bush's Civil War

Apparently afraid that the world already considers him to be an idiot of unprecedented proportions, Bush claimed today that he was only listening to his people. "Our commanders and diplomats on the ground believe that Iraq has not descended into a civil war" King Bush claimed in his radio address today.

See, it's not that I think there isn't a Civil War, it's what my experts tell me.

So suddenly NOW he's listening to his commanders? Before "Mission Accomplished" the commanders who wanted more boots on the ground for the mission were ignored. Now that Bush needs cover to keep up this no civil war fiction, he brings out his "commanders" and "diplomats on the ground."

Georgie boy, you may want to check to see if those folks ever leave the Green zone. First we get the amazing assertion that there isn't a Civil War in Iraq because there are areas of that nation that are peaceful (apparently Bush & crew think that places like Minnesota or Maine were among the killing fields during the US Civil War). Now we've got the civil war denial because "they say so."

Everytime something like this pops out my first reaction is always "can these people grew any stupider?"

I've got to stop asking that question, because I think they're taking it as a personal challenge.
