Bush Curses Hezbollah at Lunch at the G8 Summit

Personally, I'm not truly offended by his use of the expletive, even though there already is widespread talk about the "frankness" of his feelings toward the whole issue. For those of you who don't know, Bush was talking with Blair just before lunch at the summit and didn't realize that there was an open microphone and camera that caught him saying, "See the irony is that what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this s#!t and it's over."

I am, however, very concerned at our President's blasé attitude toward the issue. This isn't some sandlot game where we can simply tell the boys that they need to share their toys. This is real life with several groups of people who have "heard" the voice of God Almighty telling them to ensure that the other group of people cease to exist. That's the fact.

Since his misunderstanding of that simple point makes me completely afraid for all our futures, I will focus my final paragraph on the issue that is easier to control. Basically, his misuse of the word "irony." It's not ironic that Syria has control/influence on Hezbollah; heck, they are supplying the weapons! Irony would be if a Hezbollah-launched missle went wildly off course and levelled a hospital in Damascus. See? THAT would be irony.

Syria simply cutting off supplies, arms, support to Hezbollah is a simple matter of fact. Therefore, our President should have stated, "The simple fact of the matter is that if Syria would smack their boys upside the head and tell them to stop doing that s#!t, then it would all be over. Now, pass me another piece of that there yummy bread!"
