Reality Is Lost

If you expected a little creeping doubt in the lies to creep into the cretin in chief's report to himself today, you were probably not happy. Froomkin listened for me, I can't stand the boiling indignation at seeing that war criminal playing his role for the twenty percent. Froomkin heard what he knew we'd be treated to, the denial of facts.

"...I believe we can succeed, and I believe we are making security progress that will enable the political track to succeed as well."

Most Americans don't believe that anymore, however, and their beliefs are supported by a growing mountain of evidence. Even the White House's own progress report, released today, provides little cause for hope.

Bush's attempt to recast the debate is not new. The White House has long been trying to make it a battle between winners and losers, on the assumption that Americans don't like seeing themselves as losers. But the big loser here may well be the president.

Increasingly, the real debate is not between hawks and doves, or even between Democrats and Republicans. It's shaping up to be between realists and the dwindling number of people who believe that success in the war in Iraq is still possible.

Exactly. Then another corker.

Asked why Americans should trust his vision for Iraq, given all the mistakes he has made thus far, Bush essentially blamed his commanders -- but then said that Americans should trust him because he relies on his commanders.

And he generally argued that disagreeing with his policy is tantamount to undermining the troops and emboldening Al Qaeda.

Hopefully, there is some realization among his commanders that they have been put there to give better guidance to the military than the previous commanders the head war criminal claimed he was relying on before. But it's more incredible than ever that anyone not wearing a white coat with sleeves that are tied together in back will accept a job from this shameless liar.

Al Qaeda is delighted with the policies of this cabal. They have never had such a good light shone on their worldview, that the West is vicious and wants to invade the Middle East. We've proved they're right. Our troops can't last forever in the position of target practice.

Yesterday, I said Impeach. Today, I say first it may necessary to declare insane and shut away the cretin in chief. Then impeachment may be the right way to treat the rest of the executive branch.
