Giuliani called Bush America's Churchill.
He should have called Bush America's new Emmett Kelly.

1. America's Churchill is freaking FDR
Dumbass Giuliani. If Chimp is our Churchill than our great nation isn't all it's cracked up to be.

7. There is a problem with that.
Churchill was nothing without the war. He was only popular in wartime, and then only because he was a figure of leadership the British people looked up to.

Bush is essentially the same thing, a figure people can look up to in times of crisis, but that isn't saying much: Just about any well balanced male american of his age could look presidential when the public really wants to see a presidential figure. The problem with Bush is that he pushed us into a war we did not want to fight in Iraq, and the war on terrorism is like the war on drugs: Its not a war at all.

So without the war, he is nothing, and since we don't WANT the war, he has to push the war as being essential, because to him, it is, as his entire presidency is a complete failure without it.
