shrub didn't know about 'till Wednesday!!!!!

[Psychoblues]

The ignorance of gwb can no longer be simply excused.



“On Tuesday, President Bush addressed the American Legion and accused Congress of forcing U.S. troops to extend their deployments in Iraq:

"The bottom line is this: Congress's failure to fund our troops will mean that some of our military families could wait longer for their loved ones to return from the front lines."

The very next day, his own Pentagon announced that all U.S. Army soldiers in Iraq would have their 12-month tours in Iraq extended by 3 additional months.

What explains the strange timing? As Atrios noted, when the Pentagon announced its new policy on Wednesday, Defense Secretary Gates said he was angry that the news had been leaked to the press. That has sparked suspicion that the deployment extension was actually supposed to be announced after Bush had vetoed Congress' Iraq legislation "so that he could try to claim it was their fault." In that scenario, Bush's remarks on Tuesday were just meant to prime the pump.

This speculation was fueled by Wednesday's White House press conference, where Dana Perino explained the strange timing by claiming that President Bush had been in the dark about this major policy shift until the morning it was announced.”

Well, you just proved who and what you are. Agreeing with something psychoblues posts?

Hell, he doesn't even believe his own bullshit. He just fires for effect.

Have any credible sources for anything you say?

[glockmail]

It appears that Bush's statement was made true just 3 days later.

This says it all. First, he was hoping to blame something on the Democrats that he planned ondoing all along. Secondly, he's been as quiet as a church mouse about this since the report was leaked because his duplicity has been outed. Finally, taking Bush at his word could be dangerous to your health.

The troops staying for 15 months is part of The Surge. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm curious Psycho......does that "thinkprogress.org" site bother to bring attention to the idiot things Democrats do or are they just another partisan site created to distort and critisize everything the Bush Administration does in a lame attempt to discredit them?

Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest GumpSo they were planning to lie to the American people?!?! Say it isn't so. I'm shocked and awed.

[Psychoblues]

So sorry to inform you, Sammi, but YES it appears the lie was decided and set but sprung just a little too early by the idiot in chief himself!!!!



So they were planning to lie to the American people?!?! Say it isn't so. I'm shocked and awed.

Go figure? It's no surprise to me!!!!!

The troops staying for 15 months is part of The Surge. Nothing more, nothing less.If it's part of the surge, why did Bush tell the American Legion that it would be congress's fault if the troops had to stay longer than expected?

Are you saying the President is an ill-informed imbecile?

:laugh2:

I agree!

[Psychoblues]

Because he knew, Sammi, and let it slip before he "knew" that everybody else didn't know.





If it's part of the surge, why did Bush tell the American Legion that it would be congress's fault if the troops had to stay longer than expected?

Are you saying the President is an ill-informed imbecile?

:laugh2:

I agree!

He is qualified at best a line worker in the McDonald's french frie line. A president? He is certailnly not. Only the most ignorant would disagree.

[Psychoblues]

Is it "rhetorical" or a question and demand for truth, Abbey?


Surely this question is rhetorical. ;)

I consider the latter rather than the former, don't you?

[Psychoblues]

But, convoluting your ass is a daily thing, isn't it, gunny?



Well, you just proved who and what you are. Agreeing with something psychoblues posts?

Hell, he doesn't even believe his own bullshit. He just fires for effect.

And smokin' your ass is a pleasure. Burn, bitch, burn.
