Doublespeak

So President Bush breathlessly reports he plans to reduce our Iraq contingent by about 30,000 troops by next summer, hoping to quell the rising chorus demanding we begin bringing our boys and girls home now. Never mind this troop reduction was already planned, based upon standard troop rotations -- rotations that have been expanded from the standard twelve month's duty to eighteen. Never mind that this "redeployment" only brings troop levels back to the numbers in Iraq before Bush's "surge."

Only about thirty percent of Americans trust this man anymore anyways. Why does he continue to throw this garbage in our faces? Is it some aimless effort at maintaining that thirty percent? Why is he still wasting our time with this claptrap? Does he hope the mindless dolts running the mainstream media will report his misconstructions as fact and that the rest of us will meekly accept it on faith?

The wheels fell off this one a long time ago, George. The people at large no longer believe a single word emanating from your pie-hole, and with good reason. And your lackeys in your failed administration and your hobbled military are now no more believable than you.
