Mixed Baggage

President Bush, ever the optimist, dismissed a report out today showing the Iraq government failing to met most of the benchmarks set forth when the surge began as a 'mixed bag'. Some highlights of the presser are here. About what you'd expect from a guy so out of touch with reality it defies laws of physics that make David Blaine scratch his head and go "How'd he do that?".

Don't you just love that this man has the audacity to continue to peddle the line that the same people who attacked us on 9/11 are the same ones now in Iraq and if therefore you oppose him you're wanting the terrorists who attacked us to win. Sorry Mister Prez, those particular evil-doers you speak of are in Pakistan, or don't you even bother to read your own intelligence community's assessments? On second thought, don't bother. Your presser pretty much answers it for us.

Oh, and nice dig at your critics for suffering from 'war fatigue' that been affecting our psychology. Good to know you're taking an interest in our mental health.

Cause we certainly are tired, Mr. President. Tired of the lies. Tired of the false promises. Tired of the petulance. Tired of you.

Here's a suggestion: pack up your excessive baggage (i.e. Cheney, Gonzo et al) and go spend the next 18 months at Crawford where you can't hurt anyone except the occasional shrub.
