I'm confused
Earlier today, or rather 30 minutes before writing this, George W. Bush said that he had no timetable for leaving Iraq. Okay.
The reason that he has no timetable for leaving Iraq, or the reason he gave anyway, is that there are people who want us to leave Iraq, and as long as they're still around, we won't be leaving. Fine.
So, let me just get this straight--as long as there are people around who want us to leave Iraq, we won't leave. Once we've gotten rid of all the people who want us to leave, we'll leave. Is that right?
Does this honestly mean that if all the insurgents would just shut up, they'd get their way. I'm not sure I'm following this story correctly. Why doesn't Bush just say that as long as Americans are in Iraq, Americans won't be leaving Iraq. I mean, if you're looking for a system of perpetual occupation, why steep it in this schoolyard B.S..

Please tell me you haven't found anything else he's said about our involvement in the Middle East to be any less confusing!
From, "I know there are weapons of mass destruction because I know it," to, "people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble -- that means not tell the truth," to this.
But hey, he's the kind of president you can picture sitting down for a beet with, so that's all right then.
Gah!
Obviously, I meant beer...
Although I'd be far more likely to share a good beat down with him than a beer.
Oh crap, I shouldn't have said that where it can be recorded and reported.
Suddenly I'm subversive. I thought Corvus, of editing out your comments, thought long and hard about it...a whole four seconds, and decided who cares? You're not me, and no one can figure out who you are. So, you're safe in you anonymity, Mr. Covus of 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Lake Woebegone, MN (That's what we call a decoy...you're welcome).
