1. Surrrrrre he does! Now what's the premise for attack? Ruined his vacation, I hope!

6. "Dammit Uncle Dick!...

our plans of attack on Iran are foiled!...I WANNA BOMB IRAN, I WANNA BOMB IRAN!!! WAAAHAHHHAAHAAAH!!!UNCLE DICK!WAAAHHAAHAHAAH!!!"

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Amazing * didn't take credit for compelling Iran to release the British

military with his harsh and stern rhetoric.

3. He might give it a try...

as soon as he stops crying and cussing at being upstaged by - of all things - diplomacy. Methinks the bloom is off the love affair with the Poodle.

4. The reality -- Bush disappointed by successful negotiations /NT

[Rose Siding]

5. How stupid he was for panning Pelosi and not even mentioning the gops in Syria

He's an idiot.

[KansDem]

7. Yeah, like Bush had a lot to do with this...

He reminds me of a cheerleader who believes his team won because of his cheerleading.

Just stand on the sidelines and pretend what he does is responsible for the win.

Bush is so irrelevant...

[acmavm]

10. Yeah, exactly. He's hardly running this show. You know Unca Dick is

pretty much in charge but then again sometimes something happens and it reminds you of some of Poopy's old shennigans. But Smirk in charge? I never have thought that to be true.

8. bush must be having kittens now his war has been ruined

should be funny to see what fear-factor ranting they come up with next

[paparush]

9. Iran releases its prisoners. We torture ours and detain them indefinitely...

Hmmm... about that whole axis of evil thing...

[Pachamama]

11. Yeah, right....he's probably been throwing tantrums all day since he can't start his war on Iran

this next week!
