Here's what Bush should do....

Announce a State of the Union for tomorrow at 8 p.m. In it, he would say the following...

Good Evening. In the past 3 years, we have been engaged in a war against radical fundamental extremists, and we believe we have killed about 3/4 of their leadership to date. We've liberated over 50 million people in two nations, and brought democracy to people who have never known democracy in their entire history. Still, the polls are clear, and my Democrat adversaries have been clear, they do not support the current strategy and use of our military in the war on terror, which also includes Iraq.

In light of this, I have today ordered the complete withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq, as well as all U.S. bases abroad. We will immediately begin to bring all our military troops home, and effectively end the war on terror, as well as our global military presence. I will appoint a bipartisan commission of Democrats and moderate Republicans like John McCain, to deal with any consequences of this action, although I am assured by my detractors that this will be minimal, and that it will result in much better relations with the rest of the world.

I come to this decision with a heavy heart, because I made the mistake of thinking that America had the resolve and conviction to defeat the radical elements who attacked us on 9/11, and it is clear at this time, we simply don't have that resolve. I feel it is better to redeploy the forces back to the US, and appoint a bipartisan panel to deal with the situation, until such time, when the American people can fully support our efforts militarily. It is simply pointless to continue in a war that the people don't have the will to fight, and it's better to suffer the consequences than to continue forward, at this point.

To the families who have sacrificed so much, in losing loved ones who fought in this war, I am deeply sorry, but the will of the people, as reflected in the latest Rasmussen poll, has spoken. We must follow the course set forth by the poll data, because this is truly what America desires and wants, and it is my job as your president to give you that. We will no longer have a military presence in any part of the world, nor will we attempt to control the acquisition of nuclear weapons or the spread of radical Islamofascism. This should meet all necessary requirements of the European community, the Arab community, the anti-Western Radicals, and the Liberal American community, with regard to our involvement abroad.

Every action we take, has a consequence, and I anticipate the consequence of this action, for the remainder of my term, will be a drastic increase in gasoline prices, as well as an increase in terror attacks, as we plan to abandon all international intercept programs, so that we won't be in violation of anyone's constitutional rights. All prisoners held at Gitmo and elsewhere, will be immediately released and returned to their home countries, so there will be no more interrogations of detainees. Any consequence of this, will be dealt with by the bipartisan commission, as it is now their responsibility.

We would encourage the Iraqi's to release Saddam from prison, and allow him to return to the presidency of Iraq, since he was cleared of having done anything wrong, and should have never been overthrown by us. This should greatly reduce the death rates in Iraq, according to my detractors. We will not demand that Iraq do this, because effectively immediately, we no longer involve ourselves in foreign affairs, and it's entirely up to the Iraqi's and the UN, how best to proceed.

To Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, my deepest regards, and I hope the best for you in the future, it was great working with you, but it has come time for the US to bow out and leave you on your own. Our people simply don't comprehend the nature of our treaties, alliances and promises made in the past, they lack the backbone to actually support them anyway, so it's for the best that we part ways now, rather than having to do it when you are depending on us to come through, since we obviously won't. We no longer believe in shedding American blood for your freedom, you are completely on your own now.

I hope that these changes in American Foreign Policy will be the beginning of a new day of hope in America. It certainly removes any obstacle to bipartisanship, as this covers almost any area of disagreement my opposition has with my policies, and sets America on a completely new course. This should make everyone happy, and Laura and I will look forward to the high poll numbers and fluff-piece interviews with Diane Sawyer. Thank you, and good night.
 
An amended version:


Announce a State of the Union for tomorrow at 8 p.m. In it, he would say the following...

Good Evening. In the past 3 years, we have been engaged in an illegal war against Iraq, and we believe we have killed about 3/4 of their economy to date. We've liberated over 4 million people in Iraq from stability, and brought terrorism to people who have never known terrorism in recent history. Still, the polls are clear, and my Democrat adversaries have been clear, they do not support the current occupation and misuse of our military in the war on terror, which also includes Iraq.

In light of this, I have today ordered the complete withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq, as well as all U.S. bases abroad. We will immediately begin to bring all our military troops home, and effectively end the illegal occupation .

I come to this decision with a heavy heart, because I made the mistake of running for president when its clear that I am dunce with no geopolitical knowledge or foresight. I feel it is better to redeploy the forces back to the US, and appoint a bipartisan panel to deal with the situation, until I'm out of office. It is simply pointless to continue in a war that I've launched under faulty intel.

To the families who have sacrificed so much, in losing loved ones who fought in this war, I am deeply sorry I stole the election in 2000.

All prisoners held at Gitmo and elsewhere, will be immediately released and returned to their home countries unless we have shown just cause to keep them imprisoned. Any consequence of this, will be dealt with by the bipartisan commission, as it is now their responsibility.

I encourage this bipartisan commission to lock me up along with Saddam as we are both war criminals. This should greatly reduce the death rates in Iraq, according to my detractors. We will not demand that Iraq do this, because we'll do it ourselves.

To Americans, my deepest regards, I'm so sorry for being the biggest embarassment in our history. I'm an idiot as are those who voted for me twice.

I hope that these changes in American Foreign Policy will be the beginning of a new day of hope in America. This should make everyone happy,Thank you, and good night.

Announce a State of the Union for tomorrow at 8 p.m. In it, he would say the following...

Good Evening. In the past 3 years, we have been engaged in an illegal war in Iraq, and I believe we have killed about 3/4 of the innocent people of Iraq, spured on great recruitment within Al Queda and set up a situation where several generations of Arabs will have reason to hate America. We've inslaved the people of Iraq, and brought tiranyto people who were otherwise relativly secure and unwilling to stand up for themselves. The polls are clear, and my Democrat adversaries have been clear, they do not support my warand use of our military in Iraq. They do still support Afganistan and we will refocus our effort there
In light of this, I have today ordered the complete withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq. We will immediately begin to refocus our military on the war on terror and effectively end the war in Iraq. I will appoint a bipartisan commission of Democrats and moderate Republicans like John McCain, to advise me on how to deal with our military as I clearly have no clue.

I come to this decision with a heavy heart, because I clearly fucked up, I did not listen to PT Barnum when he said you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time. I thouht I could fool them all all the time into thinking that those in Iraq are the ones who attacked us on 9-11. I feel it is better to redeploy the forces back to the real war on terror, and appoint a bipartisan panel to deal with my punishment

To the families who have sacrificed so much, in losing loved ones who fought in this war, I am deeply sorry.

Every action we take, has a consequence, and I fprgpt that when I fucked up Iraq.

U.S. forces should never have been in Iraq, but now we must deal with my mistake and pay the price. As the one who fucked up, Ill appologise and ask the UN to help bail us out of the situation in Iraq.

To Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, my deepest regards, sorry I also fucked up and let N. Korea get nukes.

I hope that these changes in American Foreign Policy will be the beginning of a new day of hope in America. It certainly removes any obstacle to bipartisanship, as this covers almost any area of disagreement my opposition has with my policies, and sets America on a completely new course. This should make everyone happy, and Laura and I will look forward to our trial at the Hague. Thank you, and good night

ROTFL-time!
 
The State of the Union is a Constituional requirement and is given on a specific date. It is not something that is just "announced" and then given.

True, I thought about pointing that out but I was sure Dixie would call me a pinhead and say that the president can give a SOTU address anytime he wants as there is no prohibition to him giving one and the Constition only says, "from time to time."!

Well, Bush can feel free to plagerize my speech ANY time he wants for the rest of his "presidency"
 
I would like to see it done in the UN and more apologies to the world included.

No, the conventional wisdom of the day, is that in the runnup to the war, the bushies and their supporters never insulted anyone, never implied anyone was a traitor, and never insulted the countries of "old europe" ;)
 
"I come to this decision with a heavy heart, because I made the mistake of thinking that America had the resolve and conviction to defeat the radical elements who attacked us on 9/11"


HAHAHAHAHA Dixie still thinks Iraq attacked us on 9-11!

Hmm. I don't think so. I seem to recall a passage which read 'from time to time the president shall" which grew into the state of the union address once a year. I don't think it's constitionally mandated that way. I have to check this though.
 
Article II, Section III

Section 3.


He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information on the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
 
This thread certainly proves that George Bush can do absolutely nothing to please Democrats. It simply wouldn't matter if he literally withdrew our forces globally and isolated us from the rest of the world in foreign policy, the pinheads would still find fault. The level of vitriol expressed here, is troubling to me. What the hell are Demofucks going to do, when they don't have Bush to brow beat anymore? Will they just move on to the next Republican to bash with all the lies and false criticisms? At what point in time, does the Democrat party actually attempt to "reach out" across the isle and work with those who totally disagree with their viewpoint? I mean, you do realize that at least half the country totally disagrees with your socialistic views, right? You don't think that if and when you win back power, everyone is just going to get along and work in a bipartisan effort together and everything will be roses in Washington, do you?

I knew you were right.

I don't think it even has to be a speech. The president could just as well send congress a letter or a report. but, by tradition, the Prez gives a speech.

Sigh. I just wish these Republicans would learn the Constitution. ;)

On the plus side, the obsession I developed about 2-3 years ago with the founding, the founding fathers and the federalist papers, clearly paid off. and I still remember much of it.
