Dubya Fails Diplomacy 101 (Again)
I saw the actual video for this embarrassing gaffe on another site. Sometimes, like this, I am genuinely embarrassed that this is my beloved country's face to the world. (I can say that, of course, because I am not a country music star and therefore don't have a legion of fans that will turn on me for something like that.)
The funny thing is the pic in the article linked above shows him doing his famous cowboy-"Yee-haww" thumbs up. It's funny because in Afghan culture it is an extremely obscene and offensive gesture. I wonder if he ever gave it to Karzai.....
Anyways, let us analyze for a moment the crux of his new brilliant, albeit colorfully spoken, foreign policy:
WOW!!!! REALLY! GOLLY GEE! It's a good thing we have you as our leader, Mister Prez, to come up with insightful policy like that. Forget those snobs at Harvard and you know, your Cabinet, that have been telling you for years this same thing! They doubted you, but I knew, I just KNEW, that deep down you had it all under control - you know, like how Iraq and Afghanistan are stable, peaceful democracies today because of your foresight and wisdom. Mister Prez, if I have a child I will name him Dubya in honor of your magnificent wisdom! I can only pray to the good Lord that He will make him half as smart and eloquent as you! He will be leader, maybe at the head of the U.N. - much better than that Annan fellow that goes screwing up everything with those ceasefires, right Mister Prez!??
************
And the real irony is the absolute failed use of the word "irony" in his little "hard talking cowboy with big guns" statement.
If this party is not voted out of office in 2008, then it is going to be 'Canada or Bust' for me...

"See, the irony is what they really need to do is to get Syria to get Hizbollah
to stop doing this s***, and it's over".
