president defies will of people. that is, if you believe that we are a representative democracy, and that the last election voiced the will of the people on key issues that are country is facing, like, say...the war.
and let us never forget that victory was declared years ago by this same president. now, president says that we will be defeatists, that we will let the terrorists win if we set a time table for withdrawal. so, we're defeatists if we withdraw troops from an area where war is over? oh, does that mean the war never was over? or are we saying that the "sectarian violence" is civil war now?
btw, as much as i have been wholeheartedly against this war, i also don't agree with the proposed timetable. not that i'm against timetables, but i don't see how this particular one actually accomplishes any sort of stability in the area. i also disagree with a president that says he will veto and bill that has a timetable.

The sad fact is that, if you put any value on the US saving face, as I would assume most elected officials do, there is absolutely no way out of this clusterf***.
But equally pathetic is that the face saving argument is already lost on the international level, so we're really just trying to fool ourselves. I was reading this blog entry:

and was reminded of how foolish we look for being led by this jackass. How many Americans even know about all the misadventures detailed there, that were front page news all over Europe. I particularly remember the incident with David Gregory where Bush mocked for speaking French. He's a juvenile, impetuous, bullying prick.
yeah, i haven't experienced many presidents in my life, but i would think that he has to be the dumbest one we've had. i think the representative of our country should be a good public speaker and should convey strength, wisdom, and charisma. and bush doesn't do that for me.
