Bush's Resignation Speech....

[AZGrizFan]

BUSH'S RESIGNATION SPEECH

Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow Americans.' Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.

I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.

The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media.

Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.

We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this 'blood for oil' thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied...People Died' crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.


Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named
' Clinton ' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you?

Now some of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan , a nuclear ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he's going to destroy us. While he's doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to re-elect him. He also thinks it's okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel . Did you sleep through high school?

You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them.

That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe.

You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'

Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well Fed Ex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.

I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.

I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford .. I've got an energy-efficient house down there ( Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.

Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that's it. God bless what's left of America .

Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you, kiss off.

PS - You might want to start learning Farsi, and buy a Koran.

Mr. President:

God fvcking riddance.......We know Saddam had the weapons too....the guy your father worked for sold him the GD things and sent a future Defense Security over there to seal the deal.....



You could have had a resounding victory in Iraq were it not for this same prick trying to fight the war on the cheap. Given the tragedy of 9/11, you were presented with the rare opportunity to wage war and peace globally with global support. Instead, you wasted that support with an unnecessary war in Iraq. You keep claiming we are not leaving Iraq "until the job is done". Such a shame you didn't have that same resolve regarding Afghanisan.

You ran your campaign on the mantra of being a "uniter, not a divider"......yet I've never seen this country more divided. We suffered our worst terrorist attack on your watch and now our economy is in the shitter before you can scramble out of ofice.....and your OWN party won't even support your ideas. I realize these are not all your fault, but at the same time, did you and your Republican majority congress and conservative supreme court do anything to help deflect or even address these issues? This country has probably never had a president do so little when given so much. In short Mr. President, your administration can only be judged as a collosal failure on so many levels. Enjoy your retirement.....and be assured we are looking forward to it more than you.......

Sincerely,

John Q Citizen

I find much truth in AZ's post, but Appaholic's posts accurately reflects my views on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

For the record, I didn't write that post. it was sent to me in an email.

I agree.....my problem is the American people were behind him.....but if a man cannot admit mistakes, he cannot learn from them.....it's not as if Bush is dumb, he's worse.....stubborn....but he's not dealing with the TV remote, but American lives.....how else to explain not listening to your generals, not listening to Powell (you know, who helped plan the first Iraq war), insisting on doing it on the cheap, and THEN trying the surge 5 years later......

I was behind him on invading Afghanistan, but not Iraq.

I'm also really pissed off that we dropped the ball in Afghanistan. The scounty has a history of being difficult to invade and conquer, and we fell into the same trap as the USSR and Britsh before us. At the very least, we should habe found the Taliban and bin Laden before we invaded Iraq.

Also, two front wars historically haven't worked out very well, and just like WWII Germany, we voluntarily opened a second front before the first one was closed.

[bulldog10jw]

How about WWII USA?

[BlueHen86]

How about WWII USA?

We didn't voluntarily start the war on either of the fronts opened WWII.
Japan attacked us, then declared war. Germany followed Japans lead and then declared war on us also.

Japan attacked us, then declared war. Germany followed Japans lead and then declared war on us also.

and the United States TOTALLY committed to both fronts - not some half-assed war fought by limited troops and a bunch of contractors, with no sacrifice (other than higher oil, and huge debt) at home.

Jon. All we HAVE anymore are limited troops. We don't have the million man army we did in the 30's and 40's. And we haven't committed to a war since. Not Korea, not Viet Nam, not this one.

Which was my point. We can't fight a two front war with our current troop/commitment level.

Well, then lets just abandon Iraq and leave it to fall into a civil war, then we'll have the blood of millions of Iraqis on our hands.

We already do...shouldn't have been there in the first place, and if we did, your buddies should have listened to the generals and gone in with overwhelming occupational force.

[AZGrizFan]

We already do...shouldn't have been there in the first place, and if we did, your buddies should have listened to the generals and gone in with overwhelming occupational force.

Jon, I agree. But you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. And presidents stopped listening to generals in the 50's. Bush didn't INVENT this shit. It's become the norm, and it's why we don't win wars any more.

Voluntary has nothing to do with a successful two front war, at least for the U.S. Commitment and resources do.

I never said you couldn't win a two front war. I question the wisdom of voluntarily starting one. I think invading Iraq was a mistake. I don't think Iraq was an imminent threat at the time of the invasion, we should have wiped out the Taliban and caught bin Laden first IMHO.

Yeah, right. Bush would have a stroke trying to read that. If he had an ounce of honor he'd commit Hari Kari on national TV at prime time after apologizing abjectly for being the most miserable excuse for a leader the country has ever had.

So what's the deal here? I hope it's not run by the same thin-skinned AGS pencil-necks that get the vapors at the slightest hint of improper language.
