Everyone Who Dislikes/Likes George W. Bush, Tell Us Why In Your Own Words

I don't stay away from that stuff. I browse it to see what impact (if any) it's having on the web or in the media in general or the posts here.

Sure, I visit DailyKos, LittleGreenFootballs, DemocraticUnderground, Michelle Malkin, a sampling of the political spectrum and all the mainstream media sites every day.

Ann Coulter is off my list though. She's turned into that blonde chick from the last Indiana Jones movie as far as I'm concerned, remember her? :) Limbaugh charges money for you to even read his tripe.

Occasionally, I'll see a piece on a TV news show that will pique my interest.

The interview with the Baathist Party member/village chief was one of those. They didn't show him on camera, but showed shots of the town with armed Baathists roaming the streets...armed with ammo we just gave them.

From their perspective, they hate Islamic fundamentalists like the ayatollahs in Iran and the Taliban in Afghanistan. The way they see it, they stood watch for us for 30 years, keeping these fanatics out of Iraq. We gave them the guns, they did the dirty work. They didn't mind doing it either.

Then, George Bush goes all cowboy on the town and all Baathists and declares them to be the enemy!

So, they started letting the foreign fighters through the border and started fighting against us.

The foreign fighters drew bloody responses in the form of U.S. Marines fighting their way through town.

The foreign fighters then exercised reprisals on anybody who even remotely aided us. They killed tribal leaders, their families and influential people in the community.

The backlash was swift. The old Baathists started rounding up and executing the foreign fighters, Saddam style, like the old days.

The Marines reported this to the Pentagon, the Pentagon woke up and contacted the CIA and an offer was made and accepted.

So, now, in the corner of Iraq where Syria, Iraq and Iran merge, there's a village full of Baathists, freshly resupplied with weapons and ammo by the CIA, plugging up what was a porous hole in the border. They ain't letting nobody through, either.

Funny thing, they said they were willing to forgive George Bush for being stupid in the first place, as long as we keep giving them what they need to keep out the foreigners.

It's a weird, weird world out there.
