I hope his tired old lies are met with absolute silence. He should take the opportunity to announce his resignation, along with that creep Cheney. That would merit some wild applause. Big or new ideas are not Bush''s forte, more like big lies and small white lies and rehashed *** that should be forever laid to rest.

Yeah lets talk economy, I got a better idea how about an APOLOGY TO THE 4000 families that had a serviceman/woman murdered in a foreign land due to your illegal war that was based on lies.

I mean beyond the obvious use of taxpayer dollars to raise the elegance and status of their personal dinner parties and world trips and clothing, and coffers of wealth.

First of all, these folks all file tax returns. So unless you are accusing them of tax evasion, they are all up front about what they have and what they make.

Second, Bush''s administration has had little to no "dinner parties" compared to the previous hound doggie who tresspassed in the oral office.

Thridly, I''ll bet when Bush leaves, the china and accoutruments of the office will likely remain! :)

Come on Bush--you''re creative--there must be a few more lies you can pull out of your hat!! (or somewhere else)

He will retire in Paraguay where he has purchased several thousand acres--where there''s no extradition, but who cares--this government hasn''t had the ballz to impeach him--he dowsn''t have to run anywhere.

King George always had grand ideas sure to go nowhere. Why is he changing his policy now?

Why doesn''t Bush just use this time for a fond goodbye and thank the people for the billions he''s been able to stow away in all his friends pockets.

I''d like to wish him well in his new home in Dubai or possibly some federal prison but I suppose that he has already pardoned himself, so it''s most likely Dubai. And I''d like to wish him many dove hunting trips with his buddy Cheney. Since he likes the desert so much, maybe we could donate him some land for a new home and library next to the nuclear waste dumps they''pre proposing in Nevada. He could at least donate the Crawford Ranch as an orphanage for the children of Iraq, now that would make a good announcement.

I suppose wishing to see him walk out of the White House in handcuffs and leg chains is just a little evil, isn''t it! Dang! So I''ll wish you well, Mr. Bush. I hear that turkey meat has lots of stuff in it that might help you sleep at night!

Honey, you are selling yourself. This is a political comments section, which is a whole different kind of sellling of oneself.

...little time left in office.....

Well, too bad he couldn''t use that valuable last national address to list all the good things he has done for America and for the planet in general.

Or when that list runs out in .05 seconds, perhaps Cheney could stand up and give us, finally, some idea of all the beneficial humanitarian efforts HE has been up to these past two terms in his secret labs.

Certainly, we won''t be seeing Laura to ask what the First Lady has accomplished in her 8 years in the White House?

All three of these people should stand up in front of cameras and recording devices and tell the nation how they have used their offices and positions to further the welfare of this nation and it citizens on the globlal platform. I mean beyond the obvious use of taxpayer dollars to raise the elegance and status of their personal dinner parties and world trips and clothing, and coffers of wealth.

That would be a speech I could watch, even if it did only last 2 and 1/2 minutes.

IN other words--Bush wants to make the puppet regime in Iraq, ratify his occupation. Bush is trying to say the Iraqis agreed to all American war crimes--and get it in writing. Doesn''t the idiot know such an agreement is no different than the accords signed by the Vichhy government in France in WW II? Foreign powers who illegally invade and start wars--will not escape international law by making the countries they destroy pretend to like and want their presence. But his dupes will have no choice. After all, if they don''t sign, and we leave--their azzes will be toast. If they do sign, their people will finally have the proof of all proofs they are the collaborators they have always been described to be. (this post is a continued comment on my last post, which includes an excerpt from another CBS article on Bush''s attempt to force the Iraqi government to grant America broad powers in Iraq and to lock in his scary azzz and divisive, flawed blood for oil legacy)

"WASHINGTON: With its international mandate in Iraq set to expire in 11 months, the Bush administration will insist that the government in Baghdad give the United States broad authority to conduct combat operations and guarantee civilian contractors specific legal protections from Iraqi law, according to administration and military officials.

This emerging American negotiating position faces a potential buzz saw of opposition from Iraq, with its fragmented Parliament, weak central government and deep sensitivities about being seen as a dependent state, according to these officials.

At the same time, the administration faces opposition from Democrats at home, who warn that the agreements that the White House seeks would bind the next president by locking in Bush''s policies and a long-term military presence."

Guess that lie about us bring DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM to Iraq can be added to the Bush LIE LIST--NO country in the world, that is a free Democracy, has to let foreigners stay--allow foreigners to put their citizens in concentration camps and no matter what the foreigners do--cannot prosecute them--whether they are the military or Blackwater or anyone else.

Hmmm. Maybe Georgie would like some SUGGESTIONS for what would WORK - HARD WORK - in his speech.

How''s this:

Good Evening Folks.

As your President I''ve Worked HARD, Hard Work to TRASH this nations reputation, economy and self-esteem.

As you can see I''ve SUCCEEDED at SOMETHING so QUIT with your griping that I''m not working HARD.

Me and my buddies T Blossom, Brownie and Darth have some really GREAT plans for a REALLY BIG BLOWOUT final year HE HE Smirk.

We''re not handing 20 BILLION in WEAPONS to the hometown of MY Buddy Bin Laden for NOTHING you know.

Just to make things MORE interesting we''re also upping a few more Billion to the land of the new and IMPROVED TALLYBAN!

To stir the mix and get even with all you disrespectful gripers about my using the Constitution to wipe my backside I''ve got Presidential Directive 51 so DON''T get smart with me or I''ll declare Martial law and WON''T leave for a couple more DECADES or at least not until my TRILLION DOLLAR CASTLE is finished on the ground predicted in the Bible that the Antichrist would build.

God TALKS WITH me and he''s said I have his permission to Prove Revelations RIGHT.

That''ll teach ya!!

"I can press when there needs to be pressed; I can hold hands when there needs to be - hold hands." - George W. Bush

Quotes like this should be presented in our schools, to warn kids about the persistent long term effects of illegal drug use.
