The “Delusional” reponse to the President’s speech on Iraq

14 September 2007 No Comment

The responses to the President’s speech from the “Bush lied, people died” crowd are just as we would expect – idiotic. None more than Slate’s Fred Kaplin who calls the speech “delusional”, even “Sheer fiction”! This even though exactly what President Bush presented is what Patraeus and Crocker reported on and which Patreus recommended. Thus Kaplan is the latest in the now long forming line of “Don’t question our patriotism” leftists who call General Patraeus and Crocker “liars”.

While one Fred talks about about being “delusional” he and the antiwar crowd have been so deslusional since the war began it tops incredibility. They were against the war since the beginning, floating all kinds of conspiracy theories and bulding on so many false premises that it would be impossible to unravel them in one post. I have always said – if it were possible – that Bill Clinton or even *cough* All Gore had called the shot to invade Iraq – as they had constantly referred to during their terms – we would be living in a different reality.

This isn’t about “the war” or “the troops” to the left as it is to George Bush himself. In that way I might agree with Capt Ed and other that giving the speech now without anything new or different than what we heard from General Patraeus and Amb. Crocker, may have been unnecessary. Nevertheless he told the American people exactly where we stand right now – factually and correctly.

Again, unless he ordered a complete and utter withdraw and spawled out on the floor weeping and knashing his teeth, the antiwar and “disgruntled” crowd will not be satisfied.

    I don’t agree that the President should not have given his view of what is going on. Many people do not watch c-span and would not have seen the testimony. They would have gotten MSM version of what they said. Most people would have watched last night whether they have cable or not. That’s a good thing.

    It’s the same as the betrayus ad of MoveOn, they had their minds made up and their speech prepared before they knew what he was going to say.
    Defenders of the betrayus ad claim they were saying he betrayed us in discussing casualty numbers wrongfully, but note, they said this PRIOR to Gen. Patraeus even speaking to Congress. No they thought it was a ‘cute’ play on his name. Would they have run that ad had his name been Hictory?

    As kathie said, most of the public was not watching C-span with me. I do not agree with those that say the President should not have given this speech.

    President Bush is the Chief, not the general. I did not vote for the general and refuse to give him the final voice. This just diminishes Bush and I refuse to buy into that in any form. Yahoo is showcasing another Pug that I wish I could stuff a sock in his mouth and shake him…..Gingrich. I am so tired of these Pugs and just want to tell them to shut up. President Bush is NOT the enemy, regardless of what our pundits tell ya. A big chunk of us never bought into the bs.
