Waaaagh!

Bush today:
"The first reaction of course of Hezbollah and its supporters is to declare victory. I guess I would have done the same thing if I were them. Sometimes it takes people awhile to come to the sober realization of what forces create stability and what don't."

Meanwhile in Lebannon:
Hezbollah handed out bundles of cash on Friday to people whose homes were wrecked by Israeli bombing, consolidating the Iranian-backed group's support among Lebanon's Shi'ites and embarrassing the Beirut government."This is a very, very reasonable amount. It is not small," said Ayman Jaber (27), holding a wad he had just picked up from Hezbollah of $12 000 in banknotes wrapped in tissue.Israeli and United States officials have voiced concern that Hezbollah will entrench its popularity by moving fast -- with Iranian money -- to help people whose homes were destroyed or damaged in the 34-day conflict with Israel.

Then again there's Israel:
The outcome of the war up until now has exposed our weak points. Apart from President Bush, who says we won, our overuse of air power and the huge amount of damage we inflicted on Lebanon and Lebanese infrastructure has prompted the world to change its mind about the justification of our actions. Hezbollah survived with most of its arsenal intact, and can always count on its patrons to replenish it. That, together with the fact that it stands a good chance of becoming part of the Lebanese establishment and winning the elections, has prompted Assad Jr. to rattle his saber.

so tell me again... who is it that understands what forces create stability?
when W was governor, he had Bullock to do all the heavy lifting - and he really didnt have to do much. Considering the limited set of job responsiblities, being all hat and no cattle isnt a bad thing for a governor of texas. But it turns out it doesnt play well as president.

of course, it's not his fault. he's been standing up there being the same bumbling poorly spoken christian fascist that he's always been... it's the people who voted for him. they cant pass the buck. every ounce of blood that comes from this is on their hands - and i hope they remember that when they burn in their christian hell.
