A Fool and His War Must Be Soon Thwarted

How many more Americans have to die before the idiots who blindly follow George W. Bush admit this madman is destroying America?
How many more lies must be told by this pretender to the Presidency before we all realize the America we used to know and love has disappeared right before our eyes?
How many? One thousand? Ten thousand? Fifty-five thousand? Must we endure ten years of another Vietnam before the brain dead morons who call themselves Republicans wake up and admit their President is a certifiable, dangerous lunatic?
“We’ve lost control of the streets in Iraq,” retired general Barry McCaffrey said today in describing the country-wide fighting that has erupted in Iraq – a near wave of violence that may well eclipse the war that Bush declared over a year ago.
Got a news flash for you Barry. We never had control of the streets in Iraq, or anywhere else for that matter. You can’t have control of anything when an insane man is calling the shots. Bush’s war, built on lies, never ended, was never won and might never end.
Wars, by nature, are insane acts but become even more lunacy when waged by unbalanced leaders who put their political agendas ahead of the best interests of their country.
Every American who dies in Iraq adds to the blood that covers the hands of George W. Bush. They died needlessly for his war of pettiness. While Americans die for his folly in Iraq, the real threat against America rebuilds his army of terrorists in Afghanistan and plots even more murder of Americans.
Professional military planners, who realized long ago that the madman of 1600 Pennsylvania wouldn’t listen to him, say we should have moved quickly against those who killed four American civilian contractors in Fallujah last week but calls for swift action were rejected by the White House.
“The White House operates in this netherworld where logic and reality aren’t allowed to exists,” says a senior Pentagon planner. “The deaths of Americans mean nothing to these people. It’s disgusting.”
Yes, it is. Iraq is turning into another Vietnam, another morass where Americans die to support political deceptions. But all the Republicans can do is circle the wagons and talk about “staying the course” in Iraq.
Stay what course? A war built on deceiving the American people? A foreign policy based on lying to our allies?
I used to dismiss George W. Bush as nothing more than an incompetent man who got in over his head once he took up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania.
I was wrong. Bush is a cold, calculating demagogue who doesn’t give a damn how many Americans die to support his insane policies.
But who is more dangerous? The madman in the White House or the legions of mindless, moronic partisan zealots who follow him into the hell they have made of a once-great nation?
