George Bush blathers on about Iraq like it's 2003

[Grimmlok]

US President George W. Bush late Wednesday renewed his campaign-season attacks on Democrats who he said "still call for retreat" in Iraq despite signs of success following the US troop surge there.

Even before the 30,000 additional American soldiers were sent to Iraq in 2000, the Democrats declared the initiative a failure, Bush said.

"And now that the surge has turned the situation around, they still call for retreat," the president said at a fundraising dinner for Republican presumptive nominee John McCain and other Republicans running for seats in the US Congress. (actually dear, the shi'ite militias called a truce.. the surge had dick all to do with it)

"They want to retreat from Iraq and hope nothing bad happens. But wishful thinking is no way to fight a war and to protect the American people." (the war is over deary. Mission accomplished, remember? It's an occupation now.0

Although Bush did not mention him by name, he clearly took a shot at Barack Obama, the Democratic presumptive nominee whom Republicans have painted as soft on terrorism.

"In a time of war we need a president who understands that we must defeat the enemy overseas so we do not have to face them here at home, and that man is John McCain," Bush said. (because as we all know, a shadowy group of killers couldn't possibly operate in more than 1 place at 1 time, and have have never heard of cells or networks. Idiot. PS it's not even Al Qaeda over there, it's a bloody civil war! RETARD.)

Obama is opposed to the war in Iraq, which he has labeled a diplomatic and financial disaster, and has vowed to begin withdrawing troops from the ravaged country immediately if elected.

McCain, a Bush rival for the presidency in 2000, is getting the president's support, but the two men have rarely appeared in public together as Bush's approval ratings hover around record lows.

Way to trot out the 5 year old talking points.
