Scrappleface surely seems to think so. I'm waiting on the Onion to pile on.

"In another setback for the Bush administration, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak told a national TV audience Saturday that he would impose democratic presidential elections on this tranquil Arab dictatorship. . . . Democrats in the U.S. Congress wasted no time pointing out that White House foreign policy had failed again. 'How is President Bush going to carry out his promise to invade dictatorships and impose freedom if they keep announcing changes like this?' said an unnamed Democrat Senator. 'I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a domino effect, with one Arab nation after another falling into the democracy camp, thereby making the Bush foreign policy an obsolete embarrassment.' "

O__o;; What the hell is that?? OI!

Poor President Bush, he just doesn't get a break, does he? The path of 'mostly good decisions' must be a lonely one. I'm glad there's someone to walk it even in the face of these developments.

On a serious note, we better 'Shock and Awe' Syria before this situation happens in real life.

He's just fine... they've gotten the vote in Iraq and most seemed pretty happy about it. Saddam is deposed. Seems Bush's main rivals are the insurgents/terrorists and the dove liberals.

If you've read anything, you'd know that Iraqi citizens are becoming insurgents.

And that most Iraqis don't like Bush now. Ever watch CNN? Or do you like to stick to the ultra-biased, flaming-conservative FOX News?

Wait...so it's a failure on Bush's part that Egypt's president is talking about establishing elections? There is no link to this article so unless there is something missing that gives that passage a different meaning then the only explanation I can think of is that the guy is full of bs.

If you are suggesting we invade yet another country your a stupid paranoid hillbilly.

69th post baby!!!!! :p :D :) :cool:

I hope that's a joke, because I didn't type anything close to that.

No Mr. Conservative over here posted that. Conservatives, ha! gotta love them they just want things to be the way they were, and cant face the facts of today.

I was watching CNN 30 minutes ago and that's not what I heard. I think you're basing your argument in rumor.

No, I'm not suggesting we invade. I'm just suggesting the 'Shock and Awe' part. I may be a stupid, paranoid hillbilly. But if that's the case then I'm living in a country with a powerful military that's full of them. I also have passable grammar.

I think you ought to show where I suggested that things should be 'they way they were'. I suppose we were 'Shock and Awe'ing a country at one time, but that hardly counts.

I am facing facts of today. Syria is crawling with terrorists and needs a good bombing. That'll knock some Democracy into their hardwired brains.

Then what's all this with over 60% of Iraqis not approving of the way the war has turned out?

Or is that now just a figment of every one's imagination?

Very funny. Ha! Ha! :(

Source?

To be technical, there were two possible results of the war. First, the Iraqi government defeated our troops in combat and forced us to retreat from Iraq. Second, we decisivley defeated the Iraqi government and took control of the country. Now do the Iraqis have a problem with us winning, or with how the situation has been handled since then?

THIS WAS A JOKE.

Scrappleface and the Onion are satire.

Even the New York Times has realized there are some good things happening in the Middle East. Or Southwest Asia, depending on your point of view.

Less than six weeks after President Bush's Inaugural Address appealing for democratic reforms in the Middle East, the United States is coping with an unaccustomed problem: a region churning with fresh demands for democracy, fresh opportunities and fresh potential for instability.
