Why He Makes the Big Bucks
"What they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over," said our President to British PM Tony Blair when both thought the mics were off.
Well, no shit. When you look at the crisis in the Middle East in such simplistic terms is it any wonder everything's going to Hell over there?

oh and not to mention the mike also caught him bitching that the speakers at the G8 conference were taking too long--the man has the attention span of a two year old. do americans realize how much our invasion of iraq (which has totally wrecked the tenuous balance of power in the middle east, particularly with iran) has contributed to the current war breaking out there? it doesn't look like our prez realizes it

He DOES have a point. If we could make Syria listen up and follow our orders to stop Hezbollah, then many problems would be solved.
After that, maybe we can convince mosquitos to stop spreading malaria and talk the greenhouse gasses out of the atmosphere.

Right, because Syria is so keen to follow our orders...pesky mosquitoes!
