A political quagmire for Bush

Four decades separate the war in the jungle from the war in the desert, yet the current president from Texas sounds eerily similar to another president from Texas.

George W. Bush says, "Now is the time, and Iraq is the place." Lyndon B. Johnson said, "The time is now, and the place is Vietnam." Bush says, "Bring 'em on." Johnson said, "Nail the coonskin to the wall."

Bush says, "We are fighting that enemy in Iraq... so that we do not meet him again on our own streets, in our own cities." Johnson said, "If we quit Vietnam, tomorrow we'll be fighting in Hawaii, and next week we'll have to fight in San Francisco."

What a droll little bugger he is. But then again, quislings always are.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Do you suppose if Bush started smoking big fat cigars, drinking Scotch and wearing a Homberg hat, he could gain your approval?

when they step in dog crap wearing good shoes

You sound like the kind of person who does that a lot.

[CWOJackson]

Me? No, I step around dog crap...but I do enjoy kicking the mongrul's who leave their crap lying around.

[CWOJackson]

Not a chance, as ChurchillStuff has proven often enough that he knows little about the real Churchill.

[CWOJackson]

By the way, very impressive how you only dare speak to your betters when you're sure they aren't posting...and why does that not surprise me.

[F.J. Mitchell]

That's what I suspected.

Poor Chamberlainbuff...now he's trying to promote general Zinni, the architect of the Cole disaster. Of course Zinni is a general with all the qualifications he respects...he's anti-Bush.
