U.S. Not Winning War in Iraq, Bush Says for 1st Time

This man that often refers to himself as commander in chief - this Bush person that we speak of - has so completely involved himself in his own narrative, it appears he is unable to see or hear much of anything that exists outside it.
Bit by bit, one by one, he has whittled away at the sources of information he allows the chance to be heard - those that do not fit comfortably within the protection of his self-imposed narrative cocoon.
A living, breathing, Mr. MaGoo, if you will.
We will not send more troops but we will also send more troops. We are winning but we are not winning, but we are definitely not losing. We will listen to our generals on the ground on Tuesdays and Thursdays and maybe on Saturdays.
But never on Mondays.
This Bush person has an astounding habit of claiming that left is right. Up is down. Black is white. In is out. What he said yesterday is of no importance because, well, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Pure, raw, uncut logic.
It seems that he awakes each day as a new man, with no recollection of the man that preceded him.
He says things and then does not say them. Ridicules ideas and then embraces them as his own.
I find the Bush narrative too convoluted to even discuss on a verbatim basis.
Someone save this man from his own cocoon. Soon, he won't be able to see us at all.
But to look past this man is where the real darkness can be seen, lurking on the horizon. When he is gone, I see a nation standing suddenly motionless, slowly blinking its eyes, as if awoken in the middle of the night by the glare of flourescents.
