ViceZilla’s Views

An aide to President Bush obviously was afraid of getting a bigger promotion for his wrong doings, so he decided that the right thing to do was resign. I’m shocked! As in typical ‘loyal Bushie’ fashion, people close to Bush’s circle have often gotten “atta-boy’s,” “heck of a job’s,” and even promotions for screwing up. Somebody actually admitted screwing up big time and has resigned his position. I am truly impressed!

Felipe Sixto, special assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs, stepped forward and resigned his position because of alleged wrong doing regarding USAID funds, and The Center for a Free Cuba, his previous employer.

Sixto, your “doing a heck of a job,” for coming clean with your transgressions. You might not be a Bushie anymore, but your a better man because of it!

President Bush is once again his biggest cheerleader, as he continues to confuse us as to his meaning of “success.”

In a news conference today, he tries to explain that he is pulling out troops from Iraq because of “success,” a claim that seemed to have even surprised him as the words left his mouth and entered his ears! When Bush proclaimed that 5 battalions would be coming out of Iraq by July, he lsounded shocked and surprised at what he heard himself say!

And by the way, we are withdrawing troops. It’s called return on success. And our intention is to pull down five — you know, five battalions by July. Troops are coming out — five brigades, excuse me. Troops are coming out, because we’re successful. And so, I would view the Australian decision as return on success — returning home on success.

It was a a poor attempt on Bush’s part to sound sincere because you could tell, that even he wasn’t buying his rhetoric! I’ll bet you that in the back of his mind, he was hoping for White House Spokesperson Dana Perino to come bolting through the doors waving her pom poms cheering him boss on!

A $300 million Pentagon contract was given to an unexperienced 22 year old to supply of all things munitions to U.S. troops in Afghanistan?!?

Just when we thought that the stupidness of the Bush Administration’s hiring practices had reached its peak when it was revealed that ‘heck of a job’ Brownie was hired as head of FEMA on the credentials he had as Commissioner of Judges at the International Arabian Horse Association! Guess not.

Doesn’t anybody in Government check resumes anymore, let alone follow up on their contents? Come on, giving a 22 year old a $300 million Government contract to supply munitions to the U.S. Military is to put it bluntly, stupid! How stupid you may ask? How much experience exactly, did the Pentagon think a company, AEY Inc., run by a 22 and 25 year old, have in the international business world, let alone the business of arms trading? There is only one word that describes the people at the Pentagon responsible for doling out fat juicy military contracts, IDIOTS!

The kid probably doesn’t even own a suit for christ’s sake!

Unfortunately it took officials if Afghanistan to raise the red flag that they were being shipped 40 year old ammunition, much of it from aging stockpiles of the old Communist bloc! Idiots!

Just one look at his MySpace Page tells you that this kid is definitely not “International Arms Trader” material!

“I finally got a decent apartment and im (sic) content for the moment,” he writes on the page, “however i (sic) definately (sic) have the desire to be very successful in my business and this does take up alot (sic) of my time.

This is the person that our Government felt was the most qualified, and competitive to supply our military, and our allies ammunition on the field of battle! $300 million Government Contract to somebody that is just barely able to buy a drink, and they expect him to procure ammunition for our military! Idiots! $300 million buys a lot of guns that say ‘pop’ when the trigger is pulled too! Idiots!

So to all of you out there that are working two jobs just to buy a tank of gas so you can take your family to the movies this weekend, be rest assured that your trusty Government is keeping a safe watch on the country’s wallet, and spending what’s left in the treasury very wisely!

President Bush, the linguistic master of the English language must have stayed up late last night to find a use for his “word-of-the-day” calender word! He must be so proud of himself for working the very obscure word, “hectoring” into one of his speeches. Bravo Mr. Bush, Bravo!

Bush’s secret word of the day was “hectoring.” A verb meaning “To intimidate, or dominate in a blustering way.”

Bush, using his new favorite word, made this statement today in a speech criticizing Congress :

“But hectoring was not what the Iraqi leaders needed. What they needed was security and that is what the ’surge’ has provided.”

Bush has accused Congressional critics of doing the same thing to Iraq’s leaders as Bush and his cronies have been doing to us for the past seven years, and that is bullying!
I guess it really does take one to know one!

It will never cease to amaze me how Bush can criticize other people for doing exactly what he himself does! There’s a word for that, its called hypocrisy. Unfortunately that “word-of-the-day” word has probably been removed from his calender by Karl Rove before he resigned.

President Bush has lost his mind! How in the hell, can ANYONE view the present situation in Iraq as a “positive moment?” The cease fire and the it’s extension by al-Sadr’s Mehdi militia was a positive moment. The cease fire, as estimated by the U.S. Military, was a major factor for the 60% decline in violence in Iraq towards the end of last year.

Now with the cease fire in peril, and violence quickly expanding across the southern region of Iraq, those in charge of the Washington war spin machine want us to believe that this is a ‘positive’ thing that is happening! First it was described as an ‘opportunity,’ then it was because the ‘surge was so successful‘, and now the President himself declares that Iraq is experiencing a ‘positive moment.’

During an interview with the Times of U.K., Bush noted that despite ’substantial gains’ since the US military surge began last year, much work was needed to ‘maintain the success we’ve had’. Does he not realize that any and all of the successes his beloved ’surge’ accomplished last year is on the verge of being erased? Or maybe he does realize it.

Why else would this violence be viewed as ‘positive?’ It can’t, because its not positive in any way shape or form! Next thing you know, Bush will want another ’surge’ to quell the out of control violence in the region.
