If the mountain won't come to Mohammed.....

On CNN's Paula Zahn Now, I heard an idiot guest named Mark Smith, as they were talking about how 60% of Americans think the Iraq War is a failure, say, "George Bush is a victim of his own success." You may want to read that again. I must note that a statement like this gives me hope......hope that someday I'll be able to find a drug that good, to paraphrase Lewis Black.
Mr. Smith said that because we have not been attacked since 9/11, the war is a success....because over 3000 Americans were killed that day and none in 'the homeland' since.

Mr. Smith seems to have forgotten the over 3,000 Americans killed in Iraq plus the over 24,000 Americans injured are Americans too. And it's about the 1400th day since "Mission Accomplished", which must be why we are 'surging' our troops. It's such a success
Perhaps Al Quaida has learned from the old cliche, "if the mountain won't come to Mohammed, then the Mohammed will go to the mountain". Interesting choice of prophets ....and why waste money flying here, when we'll come to them for the slaughter.

Mr. Smith's 'success' also is costing us trillions of dollars, trillions against we are mortgaging the future of our country. Our 27th generation of grandchildren should have the interest paid off by 3674 AD.

We don't have the money to pay for anything else, so don't be surprised when your federal subsidies dry up, like college loans, etc. Here's a tiny example:

Acdording to AP, there's a little known Federal subsidy that funnels millions of dollars to rural communities in the west, but it's ending .....and forcing Western US rural towns to close libraries, schools, reduce police forces and put off road repairs. Fifteen library branches in rural Jackson County ,OR alone will close. "We're building libraries in Iraq" says a library patron out there, "and we are not funding them in Jackson County".
Well, President Baboon never reads anyway, so he doesn't feel the pain. How many times can he renew "My Pet Goat".
In Alpine County ,California, if the subsidy ends, two of their six schools bite the bullet.
In Arizona's Greentree County, they will close a school for special education students.
Oregon's Harney County will cut its road crews , so snow plowing will be lessened. Judge Steve Grasty said, "The covered wagons used to say 'Oregon or Bust'. They were right. We're busted". Coos County, Oregon is laying off 38 folks in the Sheriff's department alone.

Here's to another Bush era economic success story..... Wasn't Ken Lay a friend of Bush's too.
