December 20, 2006 will go down in history as a major turning point in the war on terror. For on that memorable date, Americas alleged commander-in-chief confessed that America is not winning in Iraq, and conceded that more troops may be needed.
However, President Bush also continued to insist that victory is possible in Iraq.
The obvious question: Possible for whom, sir?
Do you mean the insurgents? Or perhaps you were referring to Iran and Syria? Or is Saddam Hussein making an improbable comeback?
For years Bush has fought off critics who said America needs more ground troops in Iraq and that we were not winning. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Bush preached Stay the Course as the best option for America.
America is now paying the price for electing a man who is incapable of communicating well enough to pass an elementary school speech class. George W. Bush is the worst communicator on the public stage anywhere in the world right now, and must surely be the least effective communicator ever to occupy, or even enter, the White House.
Frankly, it is embarrassing to be an American when George W. Bush speaks. The man comes across as a clueless dimwit who compounds his problem with an arrogant smirk and haughty manner.
George W. Bush has squandered an excellent opportunity to change the course of history and expunge liberalism from the body politic, perhaps forever. But because of his incoherent and perplexing mutterings, America has made no progress in reforming social security, spending and the national are completely out of control, and America has nearly lost all credibility in the world.
Worse of all, George W. Bush is attempting to convert America into a third-world cesspool by countenancing the illegal invasion of this nation by peasants from Mexico. Perhaps Bush does so knowing that, by comparison to the non-English speaking illegal aliens, his own English will not seem so awful?
This presidents dismal performance has given America Nancy Pelosi as Speaker-elect and a Democrat-majority Senate.
Only George W. Bush could make Donald Rumsfield look like a complete failure, while simultaneously elevating Cindy Sheehan to the status of Nobel Peace prize candidate.
By the time Bush finishes his term, the nation will welcome Hillary Clinton and her legion of leftists with open arms.
Just imagine what it will be like to once again have a president who actually speaks fluent English. Even if the words he/she speaks are leftist nonsense, at least they will be delivered in an intelligent and comprehensible fashion.
Were he an honorable man who really cared about America, George W. Bush would announce that he is resigning the presidency, effective immediately.
He would then be free to take his Mission Accomplished banner and Spanish for Dummies book and retreat to Crawford, Texas.
Sad to say, but that is really George W. Bushs only hope for anything even approaching a positive legacy.
