Happy President’s Day: Bush Compares Terror Wars to the Revolutionary War
by Pamela LeaveyJust when you think you’ve heard it all from George W. Bush, he comes up with something new to astound us all. Today while honoring the “275th birthday of the nation’s first president,” Bush likened George Washington’s “long struggle that gave birth to a nation to the war on global terrorism.” Talk about the madness of King George… It’s all about terror…
“Today, we’re fighting a new war to defend our liberty and our people and our way of life,” said Bush, standing in front of Washington’s home and above a mostly frozen Potomac River.
“And as we work to advance the cause of freedom around the world, we remember that the father of our country believed that the freedoms we secured in our revolution were not meant for Americans alone.”
Bush said, “Over the centuries, America has succeeded because we have always tried to maintain the decency and the honor of our first president.” But, he failed to note that no one has done more damage to the office of the president and maintained less decency and honor than himself.

Yeah, I saw a little bit of that speech and I’m thinking, what a load of crap – Washington was just glad to be on the winning end of the war with Britain and was trying to figure out a way, with the other Founding Fathers, to hold the colonies together.
Exporting freedom – give me a brake. The closest that ever came (during the Revolution) to was the failed attempt to invade Canada. The Canadians didn’t want our brand of freedom.
Nope – this just shrub trying to attach his failed policy in Iraq to the Father of our Country and it’s insulting.

It’s the never ending nauseating staged drama of Bush patting himself on the back. He must look in the mirror and decide who he can compare himself too next.
I have visions of him trying on the hat and wig calling him George Washington.
Buzz says: There just seems to be no end to the manifestisations of madness and delusions of King George W.
1. “Mission accomplished”.
2. “Being em’ on!!” This is pure taunting
of our enemines to engage us! “High
Noon” and “Shoot Out At The OK Corrale”
are old American classics. I wonder if
Bush wants to direct sequels.
3. “You are either with us or agains us.”
There are no shades of gray for this
monarch. He has thus succeeded in
dividing the world into polarized
positions. The good will which existed
for us on 9/12/01 has been turned into
resentment, even by our allies.
4. He freely admits he did not consult his
father, President Bush Sr., before
premtively invading Iraq. Instead, “He
consulted a higher Father” Any
president who basis his decisions on a
direct hot line to God should instill
fear and doubt.
5. Although the admendments to our
Consititution have mainly extended
rights to our citizens, his desire is to
limit rights by defining marrage as
only between a man and woman.
6. Even though told by the C.I.A. and
British Intelligence that Africa DID
NOT sell uranium to Iraq to enhance
their nuclear capability, he decided
to include this misinformation in his
2002 State of The Union Message. The
end with this president always seems
to justify the means.
7. Now he wants to compare the
Revoluntionary War to his contrived
war in Iraq. Unlike Harry S. Truman,
“The buck stops here” is not a corner-
stone phrase of this president. When
asked by the press corps, he can not
come up with even one mistake that he
may have made during his adminis-
tration. Unlike F.D.R. who said that
“The only thing we have to fear is
fear itself.”, this presidents slogan
should be: “All we have to provide is
fear itself.” They have successfully
used the element of fear to erode
basic civil liberties.
Just as Joe McCarty was asked during his 1950’s communist witch hunts, we should
paraphrase and ask, “Surely Mr. President
have you no shame?
I believe it was President Washington who warned the country about getting involved in foreign entanglements.
Apparently Shrub forgot about the warning… So much for the George Washington analogy.
