Just watching the President give a speech on al-Qaeda in Iraq. He is trying to make his case that al-Qaeda are the only people fighting the U.S. in Iraq, and that AQI is an all foreign group. Bush is doing this by naming the 2 foreign leaders of the group, not mentioning the absolute fact that it is made up almost entirely of Iraqis and is aided and abetted by Iraqi nationals.
The problem with Bush right now is number one he has no credibility when discussing Iraq, intelligence, or just about anything. Fours years of making progress in Iraq lends to this credibility problem for the President. Most people have pretty much tune hime out on matters of Iraq.
He is starting to sound delusional, in my opinion. Does he really think AQI can take over and rule Iraq? Does he really think the Iraqis would be dominated by a foreign entity? Has Mr. Bush missed the last 5 years in Iraq? Iraqis dont like foreigners on there soil occupying them.
Mr Bush, is it AQI who cannot keep the electricity on in Baghdad? Is it AQI who cannot pump even prewar levels of Oil? Is it AQI who will not allow former low level Baathists into society, instead of fueling the insurgency with well trained, motivated soldiers? Is it AQI who cannot provide clean drining water for Baghdad? Is it AQI who is providing the Shiites insurgency with the EFP, the most deadly roadside bomb that can penetrate the main battle tank of the US, the Abrahms tank. Is AQI walling off neighborhoods to separate sects so they wont drill hole eachother to death? Who is doing these things Mr Bush? Its not AQI.
He looks so beleaguered, like a manager for a baseball team that is 20 games out of first. He makes no mention of Sunni, Shiite, civil war. This is the leadership we get? God Help us all.
Oh, FOX "News" is already back to Linsday Lohan.
