Bush tells minister 'we're kicking ass' in Iraq
What is this guy smokin
Things are going well in Iraq, according to President George W. Bush
Upon his arrival in Sydney Wednesday, Deputy Australian Prime Minister Mark Vaile "inquired politely" about his stopover in the war-torn country.
"We're kicking ass," Bush said.
The remark was overheard by a reporter for the Sydney Morning Herald and caught by an Australian blog.
According to the paper, Bush arrived in Australia in a "chipper mood."
"Despite his unpopularity in" Australia, the paper said, "Bush used yesterday's media conference with [Prime Minister John] Howard to try to bolster the Prime Minister's electoral prospects in the next poll. Labor was quite happy at the spectre of one unpopular leader backing another but should not underestimate the defiance and polished performance Bush is able to muster. On Iraq, climate change, Kyoto and nuclear power, he backed Howard to the hilt. He claimed diplomatically he did not want to interfere in the Australian election and said he looked forward to today's meeting with Kevin Rudd," leader of the Australian Labor Party.
Apart from his introductory remarks, Howard never spoke during the press conference," the paper added. "It was the George W. Bush show."
The Herald asserted that Howard's staunch position backing the Iraq war "is growing."
"He implied that those who argued against the war in the first place had no role in the current debate," the article said.

The problem is....we are NOT kicking ass. We are foolin' and fiddlin' around...just like we did in Viet Nam. We have the best damn armed forces in the world...and we are fighting like "girly men". I mean overall...
not the individual soldiers...they do an awesome job.
But the Iraqis have had long enough and it's high time we took the forces in and wiped the place clean. What America needs to do is show some power...in a BIG way. And if we're not going to do that...then.....
....leave.
(The frustration level gets higher everyday.)
