Heckava job Georgie

The record of George W. Bush’s plans and strategies and predictions and estimations isn’t a good one and that’s an understatement an Englishman could be proud of. Look into any of them and you’ll soon see a pattern.

George, who so often makes a case against appeasement when trying to refute arguments that have nothing to do with advocating appeasement, paid Leisure Suit Kim $95 million bucks to stop working on his nuclear program in 2002.

As with many of his propositions from torture to spying to trashing the Bill of Rights, Paying off Kim was “vital to the national security interests of the United States." Money well spent of course, because as he said, we were "continuing to make significant progress on eliminating the North Korean ballistic missile threat, including further missile tests and its ballistic missile exports."

Two years later, banking on his great success with that strategy, Bush announced that multi party talks with North Korea would solve the problem because there would be more people talking to them than if we were talking to them alone. You can’t fault his arithmetic, particularly with numbers less than ten.

These talks would surely be effective in preventing them from seeking nuclear weapons. “And so if Kim Jong Il decides again not to honor an agreement, he's not only doing injustice to America, he'll be doing injustice to China as well. And I think this will work. It's not going work [sic] if we open up a dialogue with Kim Jong Il."

Let’s say Bush isn’t evil, let’s say he isn’t a madman and isn’t trying to sell our birthright to the highest bidder. Why are we supposed to stay any one of his twisted courses when each and every prediction has been wrong, every plan has backfired, no contingency has been planned for? He goes from one explanation to another while declaring great progress and success and steps from one lie to another across a great sea of failure.

You’re doin’ a heckuva job Brownie and the mission is accomplished and success and prosperity is just around the corner and Victory is within our grasp.

Two more years.
