9/11 is like Cocaine to Bush--He Just Can't Get Enough.

In an attpempt to put his finger in the dyke of crumbling poll numbers (including the bush sacred cow: war on terrorism), bush spoke to the nation tonite. Unfortunately, he went back to 9/11 again, trying as best as he can to link it with Iraq in the minds of Americans. How often can he mine this? at some point, it just sad. He threw a war and lots of folks came. now the party's thinning out and its early. He doesn't know why. The thing is, you can't just put House of Pain's "Jump Around" on the CD player over and over and think that's good enough to keep things going. He keeps going to the same sad song over but that won't quite get it. see, there's two types of people at this party. the kids that are so happy to be around Bush (let's call them the kool-aid drinkers) that they don't care what he does. he's just dreamy! Everyone else is starting to wonder why we came to this shin dig in the first place.

In an odd stroke, i'm going to give bush some advice. this is for the current situation and posterity:

QUIT LYING!

JESUS, it IS as bad as it looks on the news. quit telling us it isn't. its our families and friends dying (daily) and its our money being spent for your damn war. This country will support what you're doing. really, it will--for years to come, even. Just QUIT saying it isn't so bad. it makes things seem like you don't have a grip on reality when you and your cabinet are the ONLY ones seeing it this way. Hell, your GENERALS don't even agree with you. for gods sake, do what needs to be done but quit saying "I DUNNO how long we'll be there...I DUNNO how much it will cost" No one's gonna hold you two it (got knows that), but narrow it down between $50 and $5 Trillion. 6 months and 12 years. the point is, we're rarely impressed when our leader seems to be fighting a war that is different than the war we're fighting. you want your poll numbers to stop dipping? try fighting the war we're in, not the war you want it to be.
