Chimpie: Cheerleader for America!

Just when you thought things couldn't be worse imagewise, this news comes over the wire to let us know that our Chimp-in-Chief has found a way to bring us to a new low, and I mean no disrespect for Mongolia, but whatever happened to "What about Poland?"

In the wake of congressional unrest over his war policies, President Bush thanked Mongolia on Monday for standing with him in
Iraq and compared the struggle against Islamic radicalism to this country's battle against communism.

Let me break in here to make it clear that the "struggle" against terrorism is in no way, no how, no fucking way anything like the "battle against communism." It's insulting to compare the two, but, of course, Chimpie is clawing at the steel walls of his self-imposed isolation chamber trying to make the faintest scratches, hoping someone might actually try to read the ravings of a dry drunk spoiled frat boy dress-up soldier wannabe. But I digress.

Bush's four-hour stop in this poor and sparsely populated nation was the first by an American president. The brief visit was a reward for Mongolia's pursuit of democracy and support for the U.S. fight against terrorism...Bush brought up the growing Iraq debate when he met reporters after inconclusive talks with President Hu Jintao about friction in U.S.-China relations. He expected a warmer welcome in Mongolia, which has been eager for closer military relations with the United States and has provided about 120 Mongolian soldiers in Iraq.

Now why would Mongolia do that, you might ask? I won't keep you in suspense.

The Mongolians have been rewarded with $11 million in U.S. aid to improve military forces. Bush also noted that the country was one of 16 chosen to share in $1 billion in U.S. aid as part of his Millennium Challenge Account that rewards poor countries that show a commitment to economic and government reform. Bush urged the parliament to pass anti-corruption legislation as part of the transition to a successful democracy.

Mongolia's share of the $1 billion is subject to approval after the country submits a spending proposal to Washington. The millions of dollars expected from the program could make a big difference for a country with a total gross domestic product of only $1.1 billion.

Gee, let's do the math. I'm just positive that it has nothing to do with them offering the lives of 120 of their soldiers. No, of course not. And I know that Chimpie's commitment to freedom is such that if the Mongolians decide to, you know, pull some guys out, they'll still get all that dough once their "spending proposal" is accepted. I mean, we wouldn't be purchasing guns for hire right? These neocons have been so responsible with our federal funds over these last 4 1/2 years, nobody should worry. Besides, $1 billion shared among a bunch of poor nations is less than two days' spending in Iraq.

Mongolia is on our side. The war is won. Hail the Cheerleader in Chief!
