Wingnut Mailbag

Posted on 06/15/2008 at 9:42 am by Bob Cesca

I get lots of wingnut e-mail. But this one, in response to my Huffington Post essay this week, is a delusional peach:

George W. Bush’s legacy: After 9-11, there has not been a single terroirist attack in the United States. As of today, that’s more than 2,400 days and counting.

Oh, yeah, and crushing the Taliban in a matter of weeks, despite the whining defeatism of people like you.

Oh, yeah, and winning the war in Iraq when Leftist douches like you were advising surrender, and accepting defeat, and ridiculing his success even after it was acknowledged by the enemy.

Bob Cesca’s legacy: Preaching to the converted: the Leftist relics at the Huffington Post. And Kung Fu Jimmy Chow. And you call that a life?

Awesome.

By the way, there’s a whole chapter in my forthcoming book about this “no attacks for eight years” line.

    I dunno Cesca, that one seems almost coherent. No CAPS LOCK or “Dumocrats”? Piker.

    I know, but I thought the astonishingly delusional outlook on the Bush years made up for the lack of CAPS LOCK.

    Sad.

    …there has not been a single terroirist attack in the United States.

    Really? Doesn’t anyone remember Capitol Hill?Whatever happened to … the anthrax attacks?

    …crushing the Taliban in a matter of weeks…

    From Council on Foreign Relations website 5/30/2006:


    Though the group has been out of power for several years, it remains a cultural force in the region while working to undermine President Hamid Karzai’s U.S.-backed government. Violent clashes between Taliban and coalition forces have increased in recent months, underscoring the Taliban’s resurgence.

    …Oh, yeah, and winning the war in Iraq…

    Winning what?

    Some progress is being made not because the militias have been defeated or merged into Iraqi military and police forces but because of an Iranian-brokered truce and because the Iraqi Army allowed the militias to slip away without disarming or engaging them. Though two leaders surrendered on Friday, the militias’ existence indicates how far Iraq still must go for political reconciliation.

    No mistake, the Iraqi Army in particular has made progress. Negotiating with sheiks is better than warring with their followers. Yet Americans and Iraqis are still dying. The militias’ decision not to fight might be because they are spent, are afraid or because they are keeping their powder dry.

    And the popular resistance to a long-term U.S.-Iraqi security agreement remains deep in the country, indicating that we might not even be broadly wanted. Many Iraqis believe this accord will cement a U.S. occupation, a fear that militia instigator Iran shares.

    Some will look at all these failings and see even more reason to stay, contradicting their simultaneous statements that recent developments mean the U.S. is “winning.”

    It took me about 5 minutes to look that up. Very sad indeed.

    Taliban ain’t crushed. Bush was too concerned with the guy who “tried to kill my daddy” to actually wipe out the Taliban.On Thursday, there was a Taliban attack on a prison in Kandahar where ALL (upwards of 1000) prisoners escaped, followed by mortar attacks on the foreign bases. Crushed? – Nope, no way, no how.As for the “no attacks since 9/11″, that’s just a plain stupid argument. The US somehow managed to have no foreign terrorist attacks from Feb. 26, 1993 until Sept. 11, 2001 – that’s 8 1/2 years by my reckoning – without throwing the country into turmoil or shredding the Constitution or invading a sovereign nation. AND without blaming the previous administration for the attack!

    Yeah, Bushleague reminds me of the story of a guy parading around the neighborhood every evening with a shotgun on his shoulder. A new resident, his curiosity getting the better of him asked him why he was out on the street in his pj’s with a shotgun. The nutcase replies,” I’m protecting the neighbor hood from lions and tigers, because lions and tigers are dangerous”. The new guy says,” there are no lions and tigers here”. The nut replies ” she. it works”!
