he said he needed $87 billion ...
i was actually speechless. me -the jaded/hate to watch him get to talk to the nation with no one arguing from the other side- gasped when he mentioned the number. that was suicide. we wanted honesty, but this was a little bit too honest.
wow.
he'll definitely need his jack daniels tonight and for the next couple of days.
shit.
$50 - maybe $60 - billion was what we were going for.
but $87 billion???
thank you, mr bush. your speech was boring as hell but this will blow you out in tomorrow morning's newspapers.
thank you.
and i missed the very beginning of the speech -- did he even mention the u.s. economy??
and he had that fucking dear-in-the-headlights look on.
but the smirk made a special appearance when he started talking about good ole american pride.
i wanted him to give in and grin from ear-to-ear. but no. he won't give me that satisfaction.
rove must've been standing behind him with a prodding rod or something.
oh, just one point i wanted to make.
i kept seeing the bush administration doing the weekend tv rounds and saying that winning the war in iraq is central to the war on terror.
well, duh - of course it is, you jumped right in before thinking and now it's a cesspool for terrorists who want your ass. you can't pull out now.
you started this fight. 9/11 had nothing to do with it.
never forget - these guys started this invasion as the whole world stood against it and said no.
never forget this when they keep saying that more money is needed.
this war on terrorism is a monumental disaster. a fake war. and a failure even at that.
how many terrorist attacks do you remember happening on u.s. soil in the last 20 years?
there were no pre-emptive strikes against "terrorist nations" and the u.s. seemed like a pretty safe place to me.
just remember this in 2004.
please.
we are counting on you.
the world is counting on you.
