The toddler president

President George Bush shook his head in frustration Friday over the slow pace of diplomacy, vowing to continue talks to help ease tensions with North Korea, which test-fired seven missiles earlier this week.

"The problem with diplomacy, it takes a while to get something done," said Bush, capping off a two-day Chicago visit. "If you're acting alone, you can move quickly. When you're rallying world opinion and trying to come up with the right language at the United Nations to send a clear signal, it takes a while."


Yes, George, having to get leaders of other sovereign nations (you remember what sovereign means, don't you?) to agree with you can take time. Now, the last time you did this, you just invaded, rather than waiting, and got our country into a mess, killed thousands of our soldiers, and spent what's approaching half a trillion dollars. Did you learn a lesson from that? Are you going to actually try diplomacy, even though it would be quicker and less painful to your precious cluelessness to just invade anyone you don't like?

Will we survive another 927 days?
