With Report Out, the Chimpster will in the "now we can move on and ignore it syndrome


From the chimpster's website:

National Strategy for Victory in Iraq

The following document articulates the broad strategy the President set forth in 2003 and provides an update on our progress as well as the challenges remaining.

"The United States has no intention of determining the precise form of Iraq's new government. That choice belongs to the Iraqi people. Yet, we will ensure that one brutal dictator is not replaced by another. All Iraqis must have a voice in the new government, and all citizens must have their rights protected.
Rebuilding Iraq will require a sustained commitment from many nations, including our own: we will remain in Iraq as long as necessary, and not a day more."
-- President George W. BushFebruary 26, 2003


From The Carpetbagger report:

I hesitate to make too much of the Iraq Study Group report because a) I believe the ISG lacked the political will to address the toughest questions; and b) the Bush White House will almost certainly ignore the report altogether. That said, the ISG’s report has captured the media’s attention, will draw both praise and consideration from members of Congress (in both parties), and will probably soon be synonymous with credible, “serious” thinking about Iraq policy, much the way the 9/11 Commission is equated with a reliable approach to domestic security concerns.
As for the ISG report itself, the panel may have lacked a single liberal voice, and may have been reluctant to offer advice they knew the president would reject out of hand, but the general criticism of administration policy in the report will surely draw the ire of the Bush gang.
Conditions in Iraq are “grave and deteriorating,” with the prospect that a “slide toward chaos” could topple the U.S.-backed government and trigger a regional war unless the United States changes course and seeks a broader diplomatic and political solution involving all of Iraq’s neighbors, according to a bipartisan panel that gave its recommendations to President Bush and Congress today.

In what amounts to the most extensive independent assessment of the nearly four-year-old conflict that has claimed the lives of more than 2,800 Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis, the Iraq Study Group paints a bleak picture of a nation that Bush has repeatedly vowed to transform into a beacon of freedom and democracy in the Middle East.
Despite a list of 79 recommendations meant to encourage regional diplomacy and lead to a reduction of U.S. forces over the next year, the panel acknowledges that stability in Iraq may be impossible to achieve any time soon.

verbatum from Chimp

And other coutries are calling him a brutal dictator, is that where he borrowed this from? Voice in government? The last two presidential elections?

He has been stuck in the move on and ignore it syndrome, maybe he thinks his confederate flag waving base believes it. He is still in the Civil War denial syndrome...in Iraq...have to specify here...some thing over here with our lack of bipartisan government, nonsecular way of Chimp administration politics.

"verbatum from Chimp"

An old saying: those who live by the sword die by the sword.

The chimpster is the pharoah through and through. The pharoah says: GOD IS GOD and the chimpster says: stay the course. The outcome of the pharoah's fate is the same as the chimpster.

Daddy Bush appointees are right if the Gerbil doesn't take their advice look for Iran and Syria to move in and take control. As for the profiteering well the Saudi King will have to take care of Dick Cheney. The people have spoken let's see if Bush works for the people or Big Business. Daddy Bush has done his best to save the cowardly idiot. Isn't it something when a man has two dumb idiots are sons. Something in the blood I guess. Are George Sr. and Barbara related?
