More lunatic talk from Bush

OK, yet again our country and the world are hearing lunatic talk from George W. Bush. The latest absurdity came out of his mouth yesterday in a videoconference with American military and civilian personnel in Afghanistan. No explication is needed. Just take a deep breath and read exactly what Bush said:

"I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed. It must be exciting for you…in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks."

Ah yes, a fantastic and ROMANTIC experience to be on the front lines--where 776 coalition troops have been killed--487 of them Americans--along with thousands of Afghan civilians.

And there is this "young democracy"--which in reality is a country thoroughly riddled with corruption and bribery, without doubt the heroin capital of the world, and home to a resurgent Taleban.

As I type these words, there still remain 305 days, 21 hours and 57 minutes until the Charlatan Throne is vacated. Let us all take another deep breath.
