WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 — President Bush dismissed antiwar protests today as a factor in his plans for confronting Iraq and pressed ahead with a strategy to persuade reluctant allies that United Nations weapons inspections would not secure the disarmament of Saddam Hussein.

In his first public comments about the antiwar demonstrations by millions of people over the weekend in the United States and abroad, Mr. Bush said his overriding goal was to protect the American people and that leadership sometimes involved bucking public opinion.

"Size of protest — it's like deciding, well, I'm going to decide policy based upon a focus group," Mr. Bush said in response to a reporter's question at the White House. "The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon the security, in this case, the security of the people."



An average "focus group":

7. When Dumbya said 'security of the people'

He meant financial security of the people he was focused on. Halliburton and others

5. Last night on the "news" we were told Ramadi fell to ISIS

then the talking head said something about how many American soldiers died in 2003 fighting "extremists" in Ramadi and now it's fallen. Really, stupid "news" reading guy? In 2003, we were the invaders fighting Iraqis. There would have been no fights for Ramadi had we never invaded Iraq.
