TDS: Bush's Triumphant Visit to Iraq
By SilentPatriot Monday Sep 10, 2007 1:55pm
If a six hour secret visit to Iraq under the cover of night -- with a military presence that puts Saint McCain's to shame -- doesn't prove once and for all that Iraq is a Glorious Success Story, what would?

Bush: When you stand on the ground here in Anbar and hear from the people who live here, you can see what the future of Iraq can look like.
Stewart: A giant, heavily-armed US military base, surrounded by a bloody sectarian free-for-all... he's a dreamer.

More of an Idiot than a dreamer I'd say.
Last :(
He announced Rosh Ashana (sp?) early. Maybe he was celebrating his Thanksgiving visit to Baghdad with a platic Turkey early?
I completely agree with commenter number one.
Gawd! Bu$h is a complete and utter fool, among many other things!
yeah he saw a lot with his own two eyes?? it looked like it was dark out the dumb f@#k doesn't even seem to know night from day...
:lol: at Burt's comment
WHO????? Did he talk to to gain an opinion from Iraqis on the ground during that 6 hour stay? Oh, maybe the soldiers kidnapped, rendered, and bound down a handful of heavily prescreened people for Bush to ask "So hows things here in Iraq?"
I doubt there were many of the people who lived there out in the middle of the night just strolling around outside the airbase. Our prez wouldn't must make up shit to say would he?
ironchef @ 9:
hey,, can some one show us a "guest" list of the iraqi people he was chumming around with during his 6 hours in country????.
Come on, this is a guy who can barely manage to muddle through a speech in front of a pre-screened audience.
He thinks going away for six months and swinging by for a photo-op constitutes progress, and somehow, he's not trudging through the mud and debris left in the wake of ... of that ... of ... of ... that really big storm.
Time for the public to stop waiting for Congress to "get around" to solving this mess with Iraq. They have no leadership and no plan.
Prosecute them. This isn't a political issue. One of international criminal law of war.
Funny, but are you missing the big picture (or more correctly, the extremely small picture)? Experiencing the seemingly separateness of things, say John Stewart,(or even Bush himself) and yourself, the viewer, as two different entities is deceptive, when in fact we and everything in the universe are all a bunch of swirling tornados of molecules and atoms, and, if you really want to get down, quarks and their various attracting/repelling strong/weak forces, running into each other and giving the false reading of separate “things”, keeping in mind that none of this would be possible if it weren’t for the uncertainty principle which forced the relative ordered and unified Big Bang to fly apart and then coalesce into the objects we see today, you know, galaxies, stars, planets, people, and pints of lager. It’s the third law of thermodynamics and you just can’t drive around it, nor does it respond to “WTF!”! Instead of everything everywhere flying apart at faster and faster rates of speed, just like you would assume when a uniform singularity like the universe before the big bang would be like, as it would result in a “uniform” explosion, the assumption is that there would be no anomalies to slow down enough that their gravity would instead cause random sections to collapse within themselves and form “things”. But I’m getting way ahead of myself here. We’re all illusory parts off the same thing. And some of those parts have a fake Texas accent and are criminally stupid. And so can babble on (Babylon?) incessantly and confuse at even greater levels.
Austrian jazz pianist Joe Zawinul, the founder of the influential 1970s jazz-rock group Weather Report died Tuesday in Vienna at the age of 75.
Sh*t, another envelope pushing ground breaking and brilliant artist and rebel splits the earth circus.
C and L, another video you gotta get is the one of Feingold today questioning Petraeus and Crocker. You can find it at Kos. Damn, Feingold is like good wine, he just keeps getting better and better. God, we need him as our president!
I loved the part about Bush's 6 hour tour of Iraq being twice as long as Gilligan's.
pissed off patricia @ 4:
In the clip, Stewart is being ridiculously facetious. He said it dreamily, at that - as though he admires a man who can envision such broad, beautiful, harmonious futures. (Just in case that wasn't clear!)
Carl Gordon @ 14:
Does too
This is what passes for "news" at CNN:
Breaking News: President Bush will announce this week plans to cut U.S. troop numbers in Iraq by about 30,000 by next summer, The Associated Press reports quoting unnamed officials.
Fantastic -- that will leave "only" 142,000 troopers left fighting Busholini's war of choice.
Did he say "When you hear from the people that live here..."?
He doesn't hear from the people that live here, why would he listen to the people that live there?
Love Jon Stewart but doesn't it seem like his 'correspondents' all have pretty much the same shtick lately?
Patthemokey @ 21:
He didn't hear from any people living there -- because he was at a goddamned military base!
Riggle: "Six hours -- that's twice as long as Gilligan's tour". Bwahahahaha!
Dr Acula, I just got that email from cnn too. I just started laughing because even Petraeus wouldn't say that for certain that could happen. I thought cowboy prez was going to listen to the generals report, not preempt him.
Patthemokey @ 21:
Probably the only way Bush would be able to contact a local Iraqi is to chase their fleeing vehicle leaving this hell hole...
...more like a wet dreamer.
The president, vice-president and his closest advisors should be legally precluded from receiving any financial benefit from any and all corporations or investments related to the Iraq fiasco.
If they have profited personally, (Halliburton, anyone?), they should be found guilty of war mongering, tried, found guilty, and hung by the neck until dead, (Sadaam, anyone?), after having to forfeit the cash.
boosh just went there to get some really primo hash.
he's as blind as he can be,
sees just what he wants to see.
This photo-op is very similiar to his phot-op in New Orleans, post Hurricane Katrina.
When Bush walked out of that spotlight into darkness, I was reminded of the scene in apocalypse now when the strippers performed.
Apropos of nothing, really - that's just what it made me think of.
we're way overdue for burger king cuba mugs too.
Stewart again delievers the goods.... One has to take this sort of reporting and laugh along with it, lest you find yourself crying endlessly over this god-awful mistake this moron has made in our names.... Jon says, "he's a dreamer"....yea... his dreams... our nightmare.... On the other hand, hell they have Iraq Burger Kings now giving away mugs to customers... Now that's American syle consumerism at its finest... It's 'taken hold now'... So, I'm thinkin, shit case closed.. Chimpy was right, we won, OK, lets all go home...mission accomplished.....heheheh Why we'll all have so much time and a happy, happy get along acceptance of one another now, we can all just relax, sit around some campfire singing kumbya, and watching his chimpiness show us all that wintergreen lifesaver trick........Yea sure.....(yawn)... ooooorrrr maybe not......................JD
Maybe it wasn't really Bush who visited Iraq. Maybe it was one of his doubles. Like Sadam did.
One of the benefits of visiting Iraq as president. You get to stand in the one place where there is electricity.
Now that shit is satire at its FINEST! I don't care who you are.
You know,, I think it is funny as hell how when Hussein was in power he would go out among his people, and be surrounded by thousands of Iraqis which had machine guns and supposedly hated him without fear, yet bush when he visits the US troops, the ones chosen for the photo ops aren't allowed to carry weapons around him,, not even the officers. Thats funny.
Jeez, he never lets up, he just keeps selling this f***ing war.
Again, why did 52% of American voters vote for this president in 2004?
arroyo @ 37:
With electronic voting one is never sure 52% of amerikans ever did.
Once again Jon Stewart gets it right. The emperor has no clue.
I saw the Stewart clip of our preznit. As he described "progress" in Anbar, he looked in pain, like his shorts were too tight, or Rove was giving him the joy buzzer. Pathetic.
Carl Gordon @ 14:
Yup. Protons, electrons, neutrons, leptons, muons, quarks ... and Bush. Must be a new particle called the moron. It sure has a spin all its own.
Carl Gordon @ 14:
Very well said, Carl - but "Bush is a dumb shit" is more concise.
