bush the jackass; Dems offering real alternatives

Bush Tells Iraqis to 'Get Governing'
WASHINGTON - President Bush expressed frustration Wednesday that Iraqis have so far failed to form a unity government, but he said withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq too early would damage U.S. security.

"I want the Iraqi people to hear I've got great confidence in their capacity to self-govern," Bush said. "I also want the Iraqi people to hear — it's about time you get a unity government going.

"In other words, Americans understand you're newcomers to the political arena. But pretty soon it's time to shut her down and get governing."

Congressional Democrats, meanwhile, proposed a strategy on Wednesday for protecting Americans at home and abroad — an election-year effort aimed at changing public perception that Republicans are stronger on national security.

In the strategy, Democrats vowed to provide U.S. agents with the resources to eliminate Osama bin Laden and ensure a redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq in 2006. They promised to rebuild the military, eliminate the United States' dependence on foreign oil and implement the recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission.

"The president can give all the speeches he wants, but nothing will change the fact that his Iraq policy is wrong," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

"Two weeks ago, he told Americans that Iraqis would control their country by the end of the year. Last week, he told us our troops would be there until at least 2009. These mixed messages from President Bush are taking America in the wrong direction and jeopardizing Iraq's chances for success."

Vice President Dick Cheney said the Democrats' behavior has been inconsistent with what they're now promising to do. Cheney said he did not believe the Democrats had a credible plan for tracking down bin Laden and their plan to move U.S. forces out of Iraq this year would amount to a strategic retreat.

"It makes no sense at all to turn Iraq over to the terrorists," Cheney said on Fox News Radio's "The Tony Snow Show."

So, bush acts and talks like a childish ass, the Dems offer a real, legitimate plan with real, measurable goals, and Cheney actually has the gall to say that he doesn't think the Dems have a plan to track down bin Laden?!?!?
Well, it's damn obvious that Cheney has no plans - it's been well over 4 years and he hasn't done anything!
It certainly seems like it's time for a change!!
