How Much More Time Are Republicans Willing to Give Bush

"The next three to nine months are critical. They have one last shot."

Congressman Vern Buchanan on President Bush's Iraq policy.

Comments like that bother the hell out of me. What has George W. Bush done in the past four years to earn the trust of Congress on Iraq? Bush's sycophants made bogus promises to the American people that the Iraq war would be easy.

"I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators," Dick Cheney said on Meet the Press.

Paul Wolfowitz promised the Iraqis would quickly finance their own government.


"The oil revenues of that country could bring between $50 and $100 billion over the course of the next two or three years. Now, there are a lot of claims on that money, but… We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction and relatively soon."


To illustrate just how clueless the Bushies are no moment tops the early part of the war. Donald Rumsfeld described the rioting as "stuff happens." The loiting gave way to crime and social anarchy which created the insurgency. The Iraqi people because hotile at the Americans for not keeping the streets safe.

Vern Buchanan is still willing to give Bush the benefit of the doubt. Amazing.

Unreal comments from a guy who's not really a congressman.
