Wrong war Georgie: Bush's comparing Iraq to America's 1776 should have been to America's Civil War!

Wrong War: Bush's Comparing Iraq to America's 1776 should have been to America's civil war a thousand fold or worse!
Yesterday of course was the 4th of July. I was lucky enough to enjoy the day without seeing or hearing Bush. Then this morning I was unfortunate enough to catch his 4th of July speech where he was comparing what Iraq was going through as a result of his attack, to 1776.
The Fourth of July speech delivered by George W. Bush Wednesday amounted to an inadvertent self-exposure. Addressing a military audience in West Virginia, the president invoked the example of the American Revolution, when ordinary farmers "dropped pitchforks and took up muskets to fight" for their independence, "taking on the most powerful empire in the world."
It apparently did not occur to Bush, or his White House speechwriters, that any reference to the Revolutionary War was more than problematic for an imperialist power waging a brutal colonial war. It would suggest a parallel between today's insurgents in Iraq and the ragtag colonials of 1776 who waged guerrilla warfare against the British monarchy, then "the most powerful empire in the world."

His idiocy knows no bounds. It is like 1776 for us but today we are fighting an enemy within. It is like 1776 to Iraqi's as every day citizens are picking up arms to repel the all powerful invader, us. Other than in that regard the idiot had the wrong war! The War in Iraq between Iraqi factions can be accurately and more Historically compared to America's Civil War. Bush is an Idiot!
Then I was out running errands today and I heard him ignorantly chastising the Democratic Congress for doing what he is doing. I guess I must have been caught up covering his other created crises because I missed the other day where he chastised Congress for misspending the peoples money and then threatening another veto if he didn't get his way. House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer today flouted President Bush's threat to veto spending bills for being too costly, and he chided Republicans for criticizing the fiscal restraint of the Democrat-led Congress.

"They don't have anything else to say. They have a failed administration, a failed Congress preceding this Congress," the Maryland Democrat said. "The American public turned them out." http://washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070629/NATION/106290112/1001
I think we can all agree with Hoyer but what can we do about it? The hypocrisy is obvious, sickening, and legendary. Knowing the gross over spending that has occurred since the inception of this misadministration, the trillions in debt he has put off paying until he is out of office on the shoulders of those fighting his wars if they survive, and the insistence of no over sight so the corruption can go on unchecked, the ignorant, two faced, audacity, just doesn't stop and is getting increasingly debilitating.
How much more of this ignorant, obvious, two faced garbage do we have to take?
