“I know there is skepticism and pessimism, and that they are – some are – condemning a plan before it's even had a chance to work,’’ Bush told reporters allowed a couple of questions afterward. "They have an obligation and a serious responsibility, therefore, to put up their own plan as to what would work,'' the president said. "I've listened to lots of members of Congress. I've listened carefully to their suggestions. And I have picked the plan that I think is most likely to succeed, because I understand, like many in Congress understand, success is very important for the security of the country.’’

1. Well dumbfuck

when 90% of the experts say its doomed to failure maybe it would be better to play the odds and not fucking attempt it. You're the one who always listens to the Generals right? Oh yeah, only the ones you allow to remain employed.

5. You're missing the point.

He's once again proclaiming he's "the Decision-maker". He's doing ConSpeak..."I will decide and I've decided my plan is best. You come up with your own plan so I can be skeptical and decide it won't work."

8. Oh I know the point

Why haven't we removed this boil on the ass of humanity again? Oh yeah, its off the table. Meanwhile the blood flows.

2. Exactly which plan is he referring to?

-Shocknawe
-Kill Osama
-Ignore Osama
-Capture Saddam
-Hang Saddam
-Stay the course
-Cutnrun
-Surge

I'm sure I left a plan or two out, but as all the above have worked so very very well I'm sure you'll forgive me......

3. Some plans are supposed to be condemned

How about, instead of sending the troops to Iraq, you plan to march them off a 20 story building? I bet that wouldn't work. I bet too that everyone would condemn that plan. So why shouldn't people condemn your plan, Bush? We already know it won't work too. Sometimes you can tell these things before you have to go through the whole pretense of playing them out.

4. No one has a responsibility to come up with a plan dumbass

You, enabled by the ignorant trash which make up your base, lied us into this war. You fucking broke it, you fucking fix it. Don't whine with the latest dumbass republican talking point that someone else has to have a plan. Oh eventually someone will have to come along and bale your worthless fucking ass out, (story of your life huh drug addict, corporate criminal, military deserter, hero to the ignorant trash.)

7. "they have to put up their own plan" - Time to call Bush on this, No, they don't. If someone has

a bad plan, it is enough to say it is a bad plan, whether or not one has an alternative. Besides, the critics have put forward other plans - and have been doing so since before we invaded Iraq. Bush just hasn't been listening to them.

9. Jon Stewart: "Everything deserves a seventh chance."

so shut up...

12. That was hilarious...

exactly what I was thinking...how many more chances should we give him to screw up?

[subterranean]

10. What he really means is...

he wants the Democrats in Congress to propose their own plan for sending more troops to Iraq.

11. Bingo

we have a winner. Any plan that doesn't include continuing the endless war is not a plan.
