President Bush is still not in tune to the reality

Well Gentile Reader How do you like that? Hmm? Our Dear Leader President Bush is a still thinking he is going to get his way no matter what it takes. The Iraq Commission was not as well thought out as any of us would have liked, but it was a beginning. Not a catch all. Though the way its told from some quarters one would presume that very thing.

President Bush in a masterful or Rove maneuver has locked it till after the Democrats come in to the majority in the Houses. This way he does not alienate any more of his party. Though that really is not the reason. The more likely reason is that one must choose your field of battle carefully. Something President Bush might have given more thought before running into Iraq. But thats blood under the bridge.

No he is still trying to "stay the course". No matter how many bodies of our young that must fill the body bags. Our allies are leaving this coming year. The British are ready to go at any time. Thanks to this fool in the White House we are going to be left holding the bag. Or body bag.

Take a look at the war and tell me that we are even fighting the same war that our enemies are fighting. Iraqis want us out. The the Iraqi government needs us there to prop them up. Its Saigon all over. I am old enough to remember the last helicopter leaving Saigon. Is that what we are eventually going to have again?

Another memory of the last helicopter leaving an embattled captital city? While the enemy fighter pour in to the city killing and throwing the government out. Instituting their own brand of government.

Lets face it, those people in Iraq don't want us there. We are seen as invaders. Not as liberators, not as a people who are helping them. If the Iraqi people truely wanted us there, do you think the civil war would be raging? Would the killing be going on to such an extreme if the Iraqi people as a majority wanted us there? What the US and Britain and our other allies tried to help establish?

Lets be honest the Iraqi people have spoken. Those people are not willing to end the violence whether we are there or not. We are fighting the insurgents. Meanwhile the Iraqis are fighting a civil war.

President Bush is clueless as usual. And the Gentile Reader brings us back to the Iraq Study Group. Because the commision doesn't seem to be any more connected to the reality of Iraq. One proposal is to engage in talk with the same two nations that are fueling this civil war.

We either admit that a civil war is raging or we bury our heads in the Iraq sand. It seems President Bush as well as the politicians in Washington, DC seem to think that if no one say the those deadly words to much maybe the Iraqis will end the fighting and every one will get a long.

My guess is that we will be burying a lot more of our young people, while our leaders argue about reality. Be prepared for that scene of a last helicopter leaving an embattled capital. I hope I am wrong, but unless President Bush and Congress figure this out. That helicopter is going to be the reality.
