Hypocrite

(n.) - George W. Bush.

While President Bush vows to transform Iraq into a beacon of democracy in the Middle East, his administration has been scaling back funding for the main organizations trying to carry out his vision by building democratic institutions such as political parties and civil society groups.

The administration has included limited new money for traditional democracy promotion in budget requests to Congress. Some organizations face funding cutoffs this month, while others struggle to stretch resources through the summer. The shortfall threatens projects that teach Iraqis how to create and sustain political parties, think tanks, human rights groups, independent media outlets, trade unions and other elements of democratic society.



Bush does not give a damn about anybody besides himself and his shooting people in the face buddies. His rhetoric in the run-up to the war and for the past two years was always about "freedom is on the march," "spreading democracy" and "ponies," but it is clear that he did not mean a word he said. You cannot trust someone when he does not do what he says he will, and you cannot trust George W. Bush. It is clear that he has had his fill of Iraq - either it was too costly to get the oil, or he realizes his plan has failed and he will have to cut and turn tail before it gets even worse - and is looking to pull out, but it will not help, because she is already knocked up and has a whole lot of problems on her hands. Way to go, Bush. Like any good conservative, I am sure he will blame the victim and deny any responsibility. If he tries to pull any of this shit with Iran we need to place a restraining order on him and give him a big bag of pretzels.

I have Bush's pony for him right here.

By the way, Kerry has a plan that sets deadlines and a withdrawal from Iraq. This is a plan, and one we should follow through.

Iraqi politicians should be told that they have until May 15 to put together an effective unity government or we will immediately withdraw our military. If Iraqis aren't willing to build a unity government in the five months since the election, they're probably not willing to build one at all. The civil war will only get worse, and we will have no choice anyway but to leave.


Where is Bush's plan?
