Bush to US: Go Fuck Yourselves

Do not come here looking for a dissection of the president's "speech" on the hypergrift going down in Iraq, because I didn't watch it. Why would I? Like the guy was ever going to say anything worth a damn? Like he was ever going to offer some kind of plan that could benefit anyone other than his pals in the disaster capitalism game? Not that I couldn't dissect the hell out of it if I wanted to, but a seasoned journo knows a lost cause when he sees it. Parsing Bush's "speech" is for hacks with too much time on their hands. For those who want an interpretation to sink their teeth into, here it is: He doesn't give a fuck about you. Or you.

And who are you? Well, you tell me. Are you the type of American who sees Bush's approval rating sliding into the 20s and says, "Hey, I thought presidents were employees of the people and were charged with executing the will of the people?" Wrong! They're charged with executing things, all right, but just ex-biz partners who went rogue and started fucking with the markets. Think of that the next time you stare into Saddam's vacant eyes as he hangs dead and broken. Better yet, grab a pal from the list of accomplices the U.S. has going now and start your own office pool for the next to get the "clear, hold and build" treatment. I'm calling Maliki and Musharraf, soon enough.

I mean, did any of you notice that Saddam's war-crime charges for killing 180,000 Kurds were dropped the minute after he hung for killing about 150? Not a coincidence. Did any of you notice that Bush's woefully overreported Iraq Study Group was stacked with Bush family pals, a clear signal of the president's intention to stay the course in Iraq? Did any of you notice that, a mere day after he said he'd increase troops in Iraq by 20,000, that he already has plans in place to actually add, as the NY Times reports, "65,000 soldiers to the Army and 27,000 to the Marine Corps, to bring the services to 547,000 and 202,000, respectively, over five years"? Are you there God? It's me Scott, stunned as fuck.

Again, I would like to apologize for the cursing, but not really. What does it take to wake everyone up around here? Who has to suck W.'s cock to get him impeached in this country? (Jonah Goldberg, pick up the white phone.) Is that why Condi has such a huge gap in her teeth? Does Osama bin Laden have to sneak into the White House and kill Barney for the mainstream media and its robotic audiences to start remembering who he is and what he did?

Let me make this clear, especially to all of you potential Ensign Cannon Fodders out there about to enlist, or about to be drafted: The blood and sacrifice of our troops, who Bush claims to support -- along with the rest of the flag-waving liars that follow him, and his own market machinations -- will be for nothing. Those you are claiming to save will hate you even more, especially since around 50,000 Iraqi innocents have already kicked the bucket in this economic takeover disguised as a military campaign. You are being sent to die by a president who won't even attend your funeral, and will never remember your name. You are being used. All of you.

So the next time the president is about to give a speech, turn it off. It doesn't have anything to do with you anyway, and if you ask Joe Biden, neither does the Democratic takeover of Congress. While your elected representatives sit and write long-winded backslappers about all they will do in 100 hours, and the days after those hours come to nothing, you're going off to the heated armpit of hell to die for nothing. Enjoy the ride, and make sure to leave a clearly defined will. The crumbs will be small and coveted here back home, as the environment warms and the recession gears up.

Of course, you could not go. You could say no, and join the growing chorus of those charged to die and kill who refuse to do so. And while we're at it, those who like to crow about how they support the troops could stuff some more productive research into their eyes before they once again open their poorly informed mouths. They could stop giving a fuck about Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, Donald Trump and that fat hag Rosie. (As a husband to a Chinese-American woman, Rosie, read my lips: "Go ching chong munch some ching chong carpet ching chong laced with ching chong ching cyanide and ching chong die.")

Of course, we could all drop the bullshit and admit that this president is off the charts, and needs to be reined in. His money for the war should be dried up, and he should be impeached without further notice. I told Nancy Pelosi's press secretary this months ago when Feingold tried to censure Bush, and she told me -- off the record, of course, because you can never talk to a politico about anything relevant on the record -- that they didn't support the idea because they wanted to win elections. The problem is, they think they did. Well, you didn't, Democrats. Bush fumbled it, fumbled it so hard he should start trying out for the pathetic Texas teams he loves to watch when he should be working on saving those he has fucked royally under the mentorship of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

So, memo to Pelosi, Reid, Biden and the rest of you Democrats who are on seriously borrowed time: It's time to get serious about fighting Bush, and fighting to win. Because that's the only thing those assholes really respect. Actually, that's pretty much the only universal thing Americans in general respect. To the victors, go the spoils. Now shut up, stop writing empty blog posts, and go and DO something. To the president, to the war, to the utter corruption you are swimming in. Do anything to anyone, rather than keep screwing the poor bastards who voted you into power hoping you'd fight for them when you've done the opposite since 2000. If you remember correctly, that was when Al Gore decided to go down in history as a really nice guy who cared about an incoming environmental catastrophe so much that he had to hand over a presidency he won to a career grifter with no moral compass whatsoever. Without a fight.

Mark my words, everyone. Bush will never cave and he will never change, because he's making himself and his friends record-breaking stacks of cash. And there's only one way to beat that. Force him to change. Hard, mean and fast. Or else you too will go down in history as the "do-nothings" you came to replace. There is no other way. No matter what anyone is selling you. There is simply no other way.

Nice to hear someone else who has awakened from the depths of ignorance. The rosie comment, come on no need, this is about Bush and his fucking shit hold in office. A draft, NOT, I will not and would not fight for a pathetic and unruling President of this nature. So to all you FBI, CIA, kiss my ass, bring President Hilory Clinton back, she rocked the 1st two terms, I'm sure she will do it again. As for the dumb fuckers who elected this stupid republican, I don't hear you saying much ggod about him, just the bitching for him doing such a fucked up job. Get it together, U elected him, fix-it, we all new he would drag this war out to satisfy what his daddy couldn't do to begin with. This is a family who should have been given Birth Control and never have had any kids, hell not even daddy bush, well thanks to all you fucking republicans for helping to screw up the world even more than it already was. Oh, thanks to all you americans who don't vote, don't listen to what is going on in the world, but can give your uneducated, stupid opions to what you didn't have the BALLS to deal with in the first place.

AND, you have not even touched the surface as to what he has been doing to this country. He and "Poppy" can go on doing their coke habit in Paraguay when they leave this country after raping it until there is nothing left. This family of Bushs are the most corrupt family ever in the US -- far beyond what the mafia represented. "Poppy" once admitted off the cuff to a female reporter that
if the American public knew what the Bushs had done to this country they would be hunted down in the streets and stoned. Bush won't do anything about protecting this country all-the-while spending money and borrowing more and more in order to give it to his bussies who are running the war in Iraq, If you think the American military is running it you have much to learn.He will not defend our borders because the big business and bankers and Israel does not want it that way. They want cheap laborers. The taxpayers apy for this cheap labor in many, many ways not the least of which are health costs. They get better care than the citizens. They get more attention than citizens. Just go to your nearest chain store now and see all the signs in Spanish. They all want to bring this country to its knees. The Mexicans claim they are going to slaughter us and drive us out. What do they think will pay for their extras then?? They will use this country and trash it just as bad if not worse than they have done to their own country because our so called leaders will allow it.

Nice one Sophia.

Your anti-Mexican remarks apparently were taken right out of GW's bigotry primer.

If you think 'they' get better health care than U.S. citizens, you have not been to a clinic that treats people without insurance.

'They' do not want to bring the country to its knees. Why would they? It's already lying face down in its own excrement. 'They' learnt from the best: go in, get what you want, feather your own nest and the rest be damned. If 'their' countries have been trashed it might bear remembering the long history of U.S. involvement in destabilizing 'their' political processes.

Neither the Bushs (sic) nor the administration are corrupt. They are the products of what we all strive for, the American Dream: capital gain, material comfort, pathetic xenophobia, self-righteous prejudice, arrogant moral high ground, delusional spritual superiority and an entertainment-numbed conscience.

Anyone still driving a car using petroleum is complicit in political corruption and murder of Americans and innocent civilians in an illegal war.

So what do we do about the problem?Do we sit back and write about it or do we get out there and deal with it ? I think some of what everyone has said is true. I personaly am dealing with the health care system. My mom Is very ill and she can't get insurance and we are white but when we are at the hospitals and many appointment I do look around and notice we are the only none mexican people there and yes it bothers me.They keep her in limbo. They don't give her MISP or SSI,it is always pending. Then here comes someone who has no papers no greencard and they get covered. Not to change subjects but my friend moved to the Nethlands and she has to learn their laugue. She also has to have all her papers in order.Why are we the only country that slides on that? I believe we are falling as a country. We are all looking for something to happen and it will all be ok but it wont we have to as a country get on the same team and fight for what is right in our hearts. I feel for people but when you want something there is a order to everything.Now do we sit back and let this go on or do we do something about it. I hope for the sack of our childern we do something.If anyone knows where I could get more involed please let me know . Thank you

I come from an insignificant country who as yet hoping to be a supra-ally of Bush America. Right now Anti-terrorism bill is passed into law by our Congress after the arm-wrestling some of the staunchiest detractors of u.s. policy and the present administration. But you see the U.S. in my country always wins. What makes this Anti-Terror law a limelight grabber is that it is firstly dictated by Bush America in support of the fucking war in Iraq which the rest of the country so deplore having gone through it twice in a hundred years. To us, whether it was Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush again, sitting as President of United States Of America, we were screwed and fucked in any which way possible. Because the world over knows how despotic U.S is when it imposes its sense of right and wrong; its freedom, its auspicious political will and its Mcdonald. Eversince i came to grasp the idea that i can spell ABC i wonder at how such a supra-democratic state could be so supra-autocratic? The U.S. government had been a bully and Iraq is by no means the only example. We know for a fact because our country was under the scourge of dicatorship in the 70's until the early 80's. It was a dictator nurtured to grow and become powerful as Sadam Hussien was nurtured to become no less than animal by U.S. I am saying all these things because only at this time i read an acidic yet delectable article against the demon that haunts U.S. I always wonder that how such good and gracious american people could be so led to atrocities as mad as plunging the entire nations in grinding poverty and outright hazard like Iraq or like Vietnam! I thought they were so intoxicated by their own power that they think because of it they own the universe and thus imposed their culture and their ideas to other people without even giving a thought how it destroys so much of a humanity in a certain culture such ours. I though we were alone thinking that the U.S. would sooner of later flattened this our hills and mountains; A-bomb this our cities and massacre this our lives all in the name of Democracy. But maybe not!
