Hmmm
I thought we were there to because 'freedom is on the march' or some other lame cliche. I guess we really just are there to kill Muslims.
And protect oil. Mostly just to kill Muslims.
Dog help us all.

Who's "We?"
Maybe when Bush said "We" he was referring to the defense/war industry, the private contractors? They certainly are kicking ass, making money hand over fist. By any yardstick, or by bucketloads of billions of dollars spent, military industrialism got a real shot in the arm with the Bush League, maybe a money hole that'll be multigenerational in scope, if Bush/Cheney have their way.

Toy Soldier
Our Cretinous Goon-in-Chief has a child's mentality when it comes to the military. While the real soldiers are risking life and limb for Bush's Real Boys' Adventure, he gets to play dress-up and holler gee-whiz slogans while safely staying behind the lines; something he's been great at since the Vietnam conflict. Besides being a moral arthritic and a moron, he's also a big pussy. If faced with the dangers presented on a daily basis by the bona fide heroes, he'd wet his trousers and cry for momma.

I'll tell you whose ass NEEDS to be kicked....
Unfortunately, his parents never did it, the Texas National Guard never did it, his partners never did it, the Supreme Court didn't do it, and now the Congress isn't doing it.
Is it any wonder that all the leader of the greatest power (or was) in the world can bring himself to say on the diplomatic global stage is something worthy of an uninformed 15 year-old?
His tragic case of arrested development rests on so many shoulders it is impossible to name them all.
He has gone beyond bullying drunk, narcissistic punk, lazy and irresponsible businessman, corrupt politician and callous human being to something sinister and devastating.
He is killing people. He shows no remorse, no responsibility, no concern.
Now we know the only part of his miserable life that he can call on as President. George W. Bush...with a megaphone...from the sidelines...."we're kicking ass". Beer at my place.
Instead of "we regret to inform you"...let's start those dreaded visits off with a cheer from George, instead.

Well, that was what his Daddy said, wasn't it, after making a total fool of himself in the debate with Geraldine Ferraro?
So of course Lil'Shrubby thought that was what a manly man says when he wants to claim a win. Of course, both Georges, father and son, actually made of themselves what they claimed to have kicked.

Believing's Seeing
If you believe like I believe, that the security of the United States and the peace of the world depend upon a democracy in the Middle East and Iraq, then you can see progress. And I'm seeing it.
This is about as close as Junior's ever come to admitting that his evaluation has an "I want it, therefore it is true" basis.
He reminds me of Peter Pan trying to get all the kids in the audience to chant "I do believe in fairies" to save Tinkerbell's life. It makes for a great show for children, but I think I prefer my military and foreign policy decisions to be a little more fact-based.

Kicking Ass
Maybe he means he's keeping Congress' ass or the media's ass. He might be right.

The Problem
The Problem with kicking ass is that sometimes the wimps you're kicking around band together to take on the bully.

whose ass are we kicking, exactly?
I'm actually a bit confused here.
We're making friends with the Sunnis in some parts of the country in order to eject the foreign fighters who are fomenting violence in Sunni areas.
However, Muqtada al-sadr is our pal, joining the government and calling off his army, which makes a point of killing Sunnis wherever they may be...or anyone else they don't happen to like.
So, we're pals with Shi'ites in some places, with Sunnis in others...and "al Qaeda" fighters constitute less than 2% of the insurgency in Iraq...
so, whose ass are we kicking today, Mr. President?
Any, by the way, I'm still a little fuzzy on the whole *victory* thing? How will we know when we have victory? Oh, right, when we have a functioning democracy in Iraq that is our staunch ally, and sectarian killings have ceased, the entire infrastructure of the country is completely repaired (roads, bridges, electrical grid, fossil-fuel distribution, water supplies, food distribution), there is a functional police-force in every part of the country and there is a standing army of a 500K soldiers in arms, ready to defend the country against attack...or help us attack Iran.
Ok. Got it. How long did you say we're going to be there? 100 years? Got it.

Talking about kicking ass
The only ass that really needs to be kicked is that of the guy seen riding his bike through his namesake near Sidney, Australia. Comic in Chief.

Mr. Bush's foot.
As usual, Mr. Bush seems bilthely unaware just whose whose ass is being kicked, namely his own. He is, actually, amazingly flexible in that regard.

This proves it (once again)
Too many Americans are ignorantly content to vote for the obnoxious loudmouth at the end of the bar for President. Too bad for them, the loudmouth would simply stiff them on a tip, expect them to laugh at his lame jokes, and still demand they bring his car to the door of the country club. Embarrassing just doesn't begin to describe how bad it is...

beyond belief
If this is making you nauseous over there, you should be over here! Sydney has been turned into Guantanamo Bay with guards on every street corner and a 3 metre wall built around the area where the Prez is currently issuing pearls of wisdom to his little monkey friend John Howard and the baboons of the media. That idiot Mark Vaile also went on television and declared that 'terrorists' are marching with the people protesting against Bush and the Iraq war. Bush has arrived with dog teams, Condi (where's Laura?), several cooks and assorted spooks,and battalions of muscle in suits. A veritable army of retainers. The people of Sydney now hate John Howard and Bush even more than they did before. It's like watching Louis the Fourteenth arrive: stomach churning. The sheer stupidity of the man makes it all seem like some horrible vaudeville turn with Bush as the funny guy and Howard as his pint sized straight man. But, of course, it's not funny. A special law has been enacted for the week of Bushie's stay giving police the right to search and detain anyone, anywhere, any time. There are stories in the media about missing rocket launchers. Some Australian citizens who want to march in a protest against the Iraq war have been put on a special black list which means they can be arrested for exercising their democratic right to express their opinion. For God's sake can't someone tell him his dog's on fire or something so he'll go home?
