El Busho Accepts The Blame... but only for the Niger Nukes Fiasco

Great news. In a recent TV interview, the Generallisimo Supremo of the USA has finally accepted personal responsibility "for everything I say, of course, absolutely." So how long will it take him to resign?

Maybe it is just a ploy to take the heat off Condoleeza Rice, who also says she "feels responsibility" (she doesn't TAKE or ACCEPT responsibility) for the President's lies.

Could it be that the Bush Boys have realised that admitting their stupid errors is the only way to make the constant criticism stop? Not quite...

"We gathered a lot of intelligence," Bush said. "That intelligence was good, sound intelligence..."

No it wasn't. It was crap intelligence. Either it was crap intelligence, or else the entire Bush administration has been lying through their cakeholes for the past two years. Or both.

Bush rejected the UN process because their inspectors could not find nuclear or biological weapons and the other Security Council members were unwilling to invade a sovereign country without such tangible proof that Saddam was violating UN resolutions. Now, after months in control of Iraq, he is pleading for more time just to prove that Saddam had a "program". The irony is only surpassed by the sheer, bloody-minded hypocrisy.

This is Bush's response to a reporter who asked if alleged links between al-Qaida and the Iraqi regime "were ... exaggerated to justify the war":

Bush: "Remember I just said we've been there for 90 days since the cessation of military operations. Now, I know in our world, where news comes and goes and there's a kind of instant-instant news and you must have done this ... there's a level of frustration by some in the media -- I'm not suggesting you're frustrated. You don't look frustrated to me at all."

Are we supposed to laugh at that? Or cry? Remember, this man is probably the most powerful individual in the history of the universe. Think about that.

The Bushies are going a long way towards proving the old joke that "American Intelligence" is an oxymoron. After loud protests from their Australian partners in crime, they embarrassingly withdrew claims that Australia was an Al Quaeda target. Phew, at least the Australian tourism industry is safe again.

Yet why should the US withdraw such a claim? Of course Australia is a target. So is Britain. So is Poland, and anyone else who supports the US drive towards global imperialism. It's just not acceptable to SAY IT. When did Truth become a problem?

In the same TV interview, another brave reporter confronted El Busho: "There's a sense in this country, and a feeling around the world, that the U.S. has lost credibility by building the case for Iraq upon sometimes flimsy, or, some people have complained, non-existent evidence. And I'm just wondering why, sir, why did you choose to take the world to war in that way."

Bush: "You know, look, in my line of work, it's always best to produce results, and I understand that ... for a while the questions were: Could you conceivably achieve a military victory in Iraq, you know, the dust storms have slowed you down. And I was a patient man because I realized that we would be successful in achieving our military objectives.

"Now, of course, the question is, you know: Will Iraq ever be free and will it be peaceful? And I believe it will.

"I remind some of my friends that it took awhile to go from the Articles of Confederation to the United States Constitution."

When the reporter started to say something, Bush chided him. "Let me finish for a minute, John, please. I'm just getting warmed up. I'm kind of finding my feet."

Sorry, George. You've been the top dog for long enough. If you are still "finding your feet" it means you are not the man for the job. Resign or be impeached.
