Another soldier sacrificing himself for Bush.

[Julien Sorel]

Retired Gen. Tommy Franks tried to take the blame Monday for President Bush's much-criticized comments declaring an end to major combat in Iraq more than a year ago.

"That's my fault, that George W. Bush said what he said on the first of May of last year, just because I asked him to," said Franks, former commander of forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Less than two months after the invasion of Iraq, Bush flew to a U.S. aircraft carrier and declared an end to major combat with a banner proclaiming "Mission Accomplished" in the background.

Tenet, Franks -- kind of a different take on "anybody but Bush." But he's supposed to be strong and upfront. People will see right through this -- Franks sure didn't tell Bush to "fly" the jet, wear the flightsuit, or pose in front of the "Mission Accomplished" sign. He's weak, and it shows with every person who tries to cover for him.

1. So, if someone told Smirk to jump off a cliff, he would do so?

And it would be the fault of the person who told him that?

This is so fricking annoying.

"The Special Olympics President. Oh, look, he's trying sooo hard, he' really pretty good for as stupid as he is."

I'm so sick of this fucking crap I could SCREAM!!!!!!!

NO, General Franks, the person who is supposed to be the commander in chief is STUPID, and you can't take the blame for that like some sycophantic royalist rube.
