Bush to Current White House Occupant: “Told Ya So”

| October 2, 2014

Well, no – those weren’t his exact words; the former POTUS was far more diplomatic than that.  But that’s the clear message of George W. Bush’s latest public comment on the situation today in Iraq.

Remember:  in July 2007, Bush made 4 clear predictions about what would happen if US forces left Iraq too soon.  He warned that doing so would

  • surrender the future of Iraq to al Qaeda
  • risk seeing mass killings on a horrific scale
  • allow terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq
  • increase the chance that American troops would have to return at some later date

Don’t believe me?  Watch him make that prediction yourself.

Sounds to me a lot like what we’ve seen during the last few months.  YMMV.

Obviously someone didn’t heed those warnings in 2011.

This girlyboy, momjeans, girlybike rider, idiot POTUS is as stupid as a box of fried crawdaddy’s…

Yeah, but at least the fried crawdaddies are tasty and go well with a cold beer!

I thank God every day that my retirement certificate has W’s sig on it and not Dear Leader’s.

And never even look at mine because it has the latter.

Commissioned under Jimmy Carter, retired under Bill Clinton. Neither hang on my wall.

I heard rumors that many Vets about to retire avoided doing so until after GW Bush was elected and inaugurated in order to avoid having “Blowjob Willie”‘s signature on their papers, and many of them still got that!

Actually, what I think is cool is that if you give them enough notice, you can get a thank you for your service letter from the other living President’s. At my retirement ceremony, President George W. Bush’s was the one read, I actually got Clinton’s and Obama’s to give to family members.

What I wouldn’t give to have this man in office right now.

Obama tries to blame everything on Bush whenever he’s expected to take responsibility for his own fuckup. But when offered the opprtunity to shitbag Obama, the former Prez has always taken the high road, with this being the closest he’s ever come to calling Barry on his bullshit. I think that speaks volumes about the integrity and character of both individuals. I didn’t say “both men” because only one of them really has any right to call himself a man in the truest sense of the word.

And of course President “Choom” rescinded the travel restrictions set by Bush that Senator “Choom” demanded (Tried to post the brietbart link but the damn IOS 8 update isn’t letting me) is

And here’s the kicker from the NY Times
“Robert Gibbs, a spokesman for Senator Barack Obama, Democrat of Illinois, said the vote and President Bush’s comment reflected “some agreement that the United States is behind in getting prepared for avian flu and that the time to try to make that gap up is now.”

More than 30 Democratic senators, including Mr. Obama, sent Mr. Bush a letter today asking him to release the administration’s final plan for dealing with a pandemic influenza. The group expressed its “grave concern that the nation is dangerously unprepared”

Where are all the protests about Obama being a war criminal doing illegal bombings and generally being evil?

The Other Whitey

It’s okay when democrats do it.

Bush (both of them) = class
Carter, Clinton, Obama = trash

It is that simple.

B Woodman

To be even more generalized:

Republitards = class

DemonRats = trash

It’s the difference between paying attention to what is important, and not doing so.

On a side note, last night 25 whole people paid $50,000 apiece to have dinner at a fund raiser in Chicago, where bodaprez showed up. And at his house, there were a few bystanders, maybe 6, in the streets, plus some cops.

It’s amazing, isn’t it? How quickly the crowds have thinned out and drifted away?
