A Lot of Learning Makes You A Dangerous Thing
If Candidate Bush Demanded a Timetable for Troop Withdrawal from Pres. Clinton, Why Won't Pres. Bush Give Us a Timetable for Withdrawal from Iraq?
Since the Bush administration and his supporters are so fond of using the Clinton Initiative-you know, distracting attention from that fact that they can't defend their criminal activities and scandals by blaming Clinton for his own criminal activities and scandals-I figured I'd join in. So here's what I want to know. If George W. Bush demanded that Pres. Clinton set for a timetable for the withdraw of American troops from Kosovo and demanded that Clinton produce an exit strategy, then why isn't he doing the same thing in regard in Iraq?
When Bush commuted Scooter Libby's jail sentence recently and was called to the carpet for it, rather than explaining why serving even one day in jail was too harsh for committing the exact same crime for which Bill Clinton was impeached and threatened with removal from office-perjury-White House press liar Tony Snow instead launched an attack upon Bill Clinton's last minute pardons as he left office. I'm not defending Clinton's decision to pardon some of those people, but since the issue at hand is Pres. Bush's rationalization that the sentence handed to Scooter Libby was too harsh and since Bush's commutation essentially was the same as saying that one day in jail is too harsh for committing perjury, then why even bring up Clinton? Why not just explain why spending a mere 24 hours in jail was too harsh a sentence for Scat-Boy? Heck, I'd even be willing to give Tony Snow Job a break; let him explain why serving a year and a half was too severe. But he didn't even bother with that. As has always been the case with the Bush League, the prime directive remains the same: When you get caught, blame Clinton.
Okay, fair is fair. If you guys want to take everything back to Clinton in explaining your own failures, let's do it. On April 4, 1999 candidate George W. Bush said, "Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is." Two months later he said this: "I think it's also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn." These statements were in reference to Kosovo, which Republicans and Clinton-haters-and they aren't necessarily the same thing-love to point to whenever anyone criticizes Bush for getting us involved in a civil war in Iraq. Now, let's fast-forward almost exactly six years later from that timetable comment.
Same guy, George W. Bush, speaking about another war in a foreign land in which Americans are dying: "It doesn't make any sense to have a timetable. You know, if you give a timetable, you're...you're conceding too much to the enemy."
You know, I could go on and on about this. But why even bother? Those of us who are aware that George W. Bush is a sociopath and a born liar don't need even more evidence. But for those of you out there who still have not yet caught on to fact that defending George W. Bush against incompetence and criminality is like defending a great big turd against that horrific smell emanating from your bathroom...ah, what's the use. At this point only spastic mentalists still defend George W. Bush.
