Dear George:
NO, IT DOESN'T HELP, you self-important, under-achieving, arrogant, smarmy, smart-ass son-of-a-bitch!!! (and I mean that last part literally.)
My son is in Iraq. His wife will give birth to their first child in two weeks without him. This is our family's third deployment. My friend's sons are in Iraq. Their friend's sons are in Iraq. Some of them have died. What does it take to make this miserable excuse for a human being to realize that he has created a catastrophe which has made him the executioner-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's and nearly three thousand men and women who have been marched off, not to fight for "freedom", but to fight Bush's botched war of hubris, vanity, and "percieved" opportunity to reinvent himself as the leader he never was.
That he is so unwilling to shoulder any responsibility for this is outrageous enough. That he thinks it's a joke is unbelievable. That the "leader" of the free world refuses to engage in serious and intelligent dialogue about this situation is beyond sad.
And the idea that "he" will mull over reports from any number of sources at his leisure before he finds one that toadies to his egomaniacal views is folly. People are dying today. His time for "mulling" over options is long since over.
Maybe he's just waiting for the white paper on Iraq from God to arrive.
For all the men and women whose lives he has so foolishly and dispassionately taken...I'll say it once more. No, you lousy excuse for a human being...your public disdain for the cost of your war DOESN'T HELP. You bastard.
