Bush says the generals are losing the war
Where does the buck stop? Are the generals losing the war or is it Little Lord Pissypants' baby?

2. Sounds like Hitler, doesn't it?
He, too, had a penchant for blaming everyone else but him.

5. That spoil brat never took responsibility for nothing in his life
one of the reasons he invaded is probably because his neocon advisors trick him and told him the war was cake walk and and he would go down in history as a great president.

9. It is god's fault. God told him to liberate the ME..
Amerika has the rights to the oil in Iraq & Iran. Also, all that natural gas in Afghanistan is Amerika's to exploit.

12. Victory has a thousand fathers,
Defeat is an orphan. - W. Churchill, taking the blame for Gallipoli.

Now Churchill (whom Bush the Lesser claims to admire) could have blamed a whole lot of other people: the Admirals and Generals on the scene, the French, the Russians... but he took the blame himself since it was his idea. He resigned his government post (Lord of the Admiralty), activated his military commission (British Army) and took a spot in the trenches of France.

Can you imagine any NeoCon(Men) doing that? Resigning thier government post and taking a spot in a combat unit in Iraq or Afghanistan?

13. All the ass kissers at the Pentagon who went along with Bush should be blamed as well.
The blood of the troops is just as much on their hands as Bush's. Sorry, but these generals also had the option of taking early retirement rather than participating in a war that may well turn out to be a war crime.

There is no excuse. "Just following orders" hasn't cut it in an international court of law since Nuremberg.

16. Maybe these generals
will have enough and stand up and say something. What I don't understand is how bush can embarrass, shame, belittle, make fun of and some of these people keep coming back and kissing his ass? What is wrong with these people. Are they doing it for money, stripes, stars ... No matter if they get another bar or stripe, it will only mean that they let pissypants walk over them and they allowed tens of thousands people to be killed or maimed at the "pleasure of the president". What could they be getting out of this?

17. I've been offline all day and tv off most of the day. What happened?
I've looked on Wapo and NYT, but haven't seen it. Is there a link to a yahoo or other article?

22. Wonder if we'll see him drop to the ground and scream and cry
and wave his legs and hands in a two year old's temper tantrum.
