How fitting that Kucinich's Resolution to Impeach is being read as I type this...
I didn't think this was possible. A miracle has occurred! And we are witnesses: George W. DinkyParts has expressed ::fanfare:: regret:
ABC News' Tahman Bradley Reports: Across the pond for a Europe farewell tour, President Bush spoke candidly about his legacy, acknowledging mistakes in handling the Iraq war. Bush told the British newspaper, The Times, he regrets the bitter division over the Iraq war and -- rather remarkably -- admitted his words in the lead up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq did not help unite the country behind the effort.This is so immense, so groundbreaking, so... late. And meaningless. And understated. The "bitter division" was underway during the lead-up to the war, and the "uniter" knew it. His ill-chosen, infantile words were part of it, to be sure. His actions? Now that's another story. A bigger story. The biggest story ever, so tragically big that it encompasses thousands upon thousands of deaths, a region's devastation, and the disdain of the whole world.
The paper writes that the president "expressed regret at the bitter divisions over the war and said that he was troubled about how his country had been misunderstood."His sputtering mental horsepower is wreaking havoc with my patience. "Misunderstood" were we? The country was misunderstood? The country made the decision to enter into a fraudulent invasion/occupation/tragedy? Way to accept responsibility, President Cretin. Way to show regret.
Bush told the paper, "I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric." Bush also admitted that some of his strong phrases like "bring them on" or in general his "Cowboy Talk" -- as he once referred to it in an ABC News' interview with George Stephanopoulos -- affected the perception of the U.S. around the world. Those phrases, Bush said, according to the paper," indicated to people that I was, you know not a man of peace."Where do I even begin?
- Substitute the words "Cowboy Talk" (isn't that just the cutest?) with reckless, swaggering, irrational threats laced with fear-mongering lies supported by absolutely nothing. That doesn't sound as funsy and Texan and John Wayney, does it, you destructive, sadistic, masquerading little frat boy?
- "Affected the perception"? You might say it affected a lot more than mere perception. It affected people, you psychopathic fool, with disastrous, deadly results. How's that for legacy?
- "Not a man of peace"? Mr. Bush, you're not a man at all.
