What dream world is the president living in?

I couldn't help but wonder as I watched president Bush talk to the UN and in private conversation with the Iraq's prime minister on TV the other day, what cloud he was living on? Or should I say fantasy world. How in the world can he expect the American people and people in other countries to believe his story that we are winning the war and that democracy is right around the corner? He has the gall to say that the CIA is only guessing in its assumptions on Iraq. As though that is supposed to make myself and others more confident in his leadership. It sounds like the blind leading the blind. The stakes are too high Mr. President to be doing a guessing game and I suspect you have doing a lot of that on Iraq right from the beginning.

I don't know about you but my eyes are wide open and I can see what is happening over there. Thanks to instantaneous transmission of news over the television newscasters inside Iraq. What I see is not a pretty picture. I see tanks not soldiers in the streets and continuous fighting. Even I can put two and two together and come to the conclusion that we are not winning this war but are being pushed back farther and farther into our bunkers than when we started.

Somehow the notion that they will have some kind of democratic election (that's a laugh) in the near future is simply a pipe dream at best. Any election will be only a show put on for our entertainment and nothing more. It will mean nothing to the Iraqis or to the insurgents. I don't suspect that the fighting will stop because of it.

You could tell that the UN general assembly was visibly cool to the presidents speech. They know that he is living a lie not only to himself but to the world. Personally I think we are wasting out time and money on this ridiculous war. Bush is failing miserably and won't admit it. I think he will find out how we feel come election time. I am really getting sick and tired of the rhetoric and infighting. We need change and a new president. I'm betting Kerry will do the right thing and end this fiasco once and for all.
