I’m popping my cherry!

i’m already over my 1 post limit, but that other one doesn’t count.  “I’m a rebel Dotty!”

Mr Bush was doing his best to contribute to global warming by blowing more hot air for the plants in the Rose Garden.  Bush by the way thinks the Rose Garden is a national park I kid you not. 

So there he was, the Decider, uniting  dividing the country again by playing blame villafy the democrats.  But as the hypocrite in chief is learning his arrows are becoming more like boomerangs these days. We have a nice article today from Newsweek’s Michael Hirsh. Hirsh lays it out pretty good, slapping back each and every Chimpy attempt to join this country together.  Hirsh doesn’t apparently understand his role. He is a reporter. Reporters in Washington bend over and take what the white house shoves them.  No doubt he is a communist & abetting the enemy.  Most likely he has Al Qaeda on speed dial and faxed this article over to them to proof read.   

Let’s begin:

Bush began by complaining that it had been “57 days since I requested that Congress pass emergency funds for our troops.” He said that if Congress doesn’t give him a bill he can sign by mid-April, the Army will be “forced to consider cutting back on equipment, equipment repair and quality-of-life initiatives for our Guard and Reserve forces,” as well as training, so that money can go to “troops on the front lines.” And if he doesn’t get a bill by mid-May, Bush said, “the problems grow even more acute”—forecasting delays in funding repair depots, training active-duty forces needed overseas, and in forming new brigades. Yet previous Republican-controlled Congresses have left for spring recess without passing the sort of supplemental bill Bush was talking about. In 2006, the GOP Congress didn’t approve the supplemental until the middle of June. Sen. Jack Reed

Well lookie lookie. This god damned journalist must be one of them liberal elites that hates Merika! You mean to tell me the President aint “straight shootin” with Merikans? no, not Mexicans, MeriKans!

Let’s continue….

“It’s hard not to view this [Bush’s charges] as somewhat hyped up,” says Steve Kosiak of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a Washington-based military think tank. “In addition to [the bridge fund], the Pentagon can tap its regular budget for the last quarter of the fiscal year, and shift money from procurements with a long lead time, like a new armored fighting vehicles. It creates some inefficiencies, but it’s part of the process.”

Carrying on….here is something you wont find in the Snooze Journal:

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden, D-Del., called the supplemental a “shell game” and told “Fox News Sunday”: “If the president had been honest with what he needed for this war in his regular budget, then we wouldn’t be having this.”

Holy JOE! Making a point that wasn’t over 2000 words. Sadly, Joe wasn’t wearing a Princeton hat during this interview so it didn’t warrant coverage by the NJ.

This is the last Paragraph I will cut and paste for fear of wearing out my welcome on the first day:

The president also announced that thus far only 40 percent of the troops called up in the “surge” have reached Iraq. Bush said he found it “somewhat astounding that people in Congress would start calling for withdrawal even before all the troops have made it to Baghdad.” When will they get there? By “early June,” Bush announced. And yet the administration has previously made a point of suggesting strongly that this summer is a fair time to assess the surge’s effectiveness. Gen. George Casey, the previous multinational forces commander in Iraq, was asked in late December when he thought troops could come home. “I believe the projections are late summer,” Casey told reporters. At a congressional hearing on Jan. 11, new Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the surge’s duration would be “a matter of months.” Now, without quite saying so, the president seems to have pushed back the target date for the surge’s success—and withdrawal. Says Jack Reed: “Most counterinsurgency specialists talk about success coming in years, not months.”
