Notes about George W. Bush as a Frat boy


I just finished watching an interview with good ol' George conducted by Charles Wallace of Fox News Sunday. I have to admit, W happens to be, IN MY OPINION, the smartest idiot I have ever listened to. He is a real charmer. After fumbling over himself and using slang and disregarding a question, he pulls out at the end and says the thing the American people want to hear. All through the interview he states that American history, i.e. his presidency, cannot be determined at this time because there is no such thing at short term history. It will take years to determine the effect of this presidency on America because it needs to be studied. He finally state, when the new president is inducted into the White House, he will leave them a letter that says "Let each day be guided through by a higher power". Wallace asks him if this is true? He replies, Yes, it's the only way it will work. Being a country founded on Christianity, and given a strong sense of forgiveness Christians carry, of course this was the right thing to say. He also states that dethroning Sadam was the right thing to do. Naturally, I agree. However, I think of the relationship with Bush and Iraq as this:
If you have ever been out one night with the girls or the boys, and you are without your other half, and someone of the opposite gender responds to you in a positive manner. No one else in your group had been hit on all night and this gives you a feeling of glory amongst your friends. It gives you a smile on your face that feels good. You know you probably shouldn't go there, because after all, it is a slippery slope. You do it anyway. Have a couple of drinks/dances with this person, and after one too many, you make a drunkin mistake and give your number away. Oops! You told this person you are single and you kind of have an attraction with this person. Over the next couple of weeks you do a delicate balancing act with maintaining like your relationship is normal, and occasionally making a phone call or two to the person from the bar. After about a month, you wake up and think this is crazy. You want to cut it off with the bar person, but you don't know how. You are in too deep. There is a tangled web you have to navigate out of to get out of this one; thus begins your journey.
Bush is in the same thing with Iraq. He made the decision to pursue Sadam and Iraq, and just thought it was a one shot deal. Dethrone Sadam and Iraq will be good. Nope. His relationship with Iraq was his slippery slope. The web kept getting more and more tangled. Other "friends" aka allies, got involved. Its a big mess. Now, he is trying to get out of it. It's not as easy as it seems, getting out of these messy drunken relationships. Iraq is like a needy single drunk girl at a bar, and Bush is like the frat boy that wants to impress his brothers at a bar, even though he has a girlfriend, who conveniently isn't there. Then he actually likes the attention of the bar girl (Iraq) and all the publicity he is getting. Then it all goes bad and all his brothers (America) hate him, because he is playing his girl (Canada and American Allies) and destroying relationships. He tries to get out but the bar girl (Iraq) just gets more needy. Ick! What a situation. To be continued...
Possible outcome: The Fraternity (America) kicks out Bush and his girl breaks up with him. The fraternity inducts someone else in his place that is honest and kind and wants to fix all that Bush f-ed up. Bush's ex-girl is friends with all of his ex-frat brothers and keeps hanging out and then starts dating the new guy because he is the opposite of Bush. In the meantime, the bar girl (Iraq) doesn't see Bush very appealing anymore because he got kicked out of his frat and has no friends. So she leaves him alone. All of a sudden Bush is no one. Figures, huh? At one moment you are the desire of the world and then the next minute, you are nothing.
