Bush "I don't want to be a war president" -- Then why did HE start Iraq ?

[cthrumatrix]

This was part of his speech to journalists. If his whole theme is

I'm the ebst president to "protect us"...why did he start the Iraq

war if he doesn't want to be a "war president"?


Is he insane? (clinically)

[TrustingDog]

1. yes, he is insane - our version of Nero...

renamed Zero - fiddling with lives around the planet.

[Jacobin]

2. CNN made him do it

[stopbush]

3. Then fucking RESIGN!! Because - according to Cheney - we're going

to be "at war" for the foreseeable future if not eternity. Since you've admitted you're not the man for the job you should resign immediately and let Cheney run things until Kerry is elected.

Pretty simple solution....you fucking asshole.

[napi21]

4. Didn't he say "I am a war Pres" on 60 Minutes?

Maybe I have the show wrong, bit I know I remember him saying "I am a war Pres." to some interviewer several months ago.

OH MY!!! Did we flip flop????

[opihimoimoi]

5. Mega FLIP FLOP there my friend...big time

He is SO expedient its pathetic...

[rustydog]

13. You are soooo right! Bush claimed several times on TV

with his big-ass pukelike smirk firmly implanted: "I am a war time president!"
Now that people are sick of useless personal-choice war, Bush is flip-flopping and trying to weasel out of his boastings these past 2 years.

"Boo hoo, no one could have conceived of terror attacks against America causing a peace-loving man like me who wouldn't hurt a fly (frog perhaps, but no fly) to be forced into becoming a war time president...boo hoo."

7. He definitely said that in the infamous Tim Russert MTP interview.

That comment is even featured in "Fahrenheit 9/11."

[Laura_B_manslaughter]

10. That was on the tim russert interview

And yes he definintely said "i'm a war president". Dems should have pounced on that silly macho statement but didn't. Now they have a golden opportunity to paint junior as a flip-flopper. We'll see if they do.

[fob]

12. bush*y also made a claim that he was "the peace president" somewhere

after the russert interview.

[linazelle]

6. Bush didn't start the war BUT he IS a great leader who stays the course.

Why do you hate America and Bush so much? :eyes:

[Poiuyt]

9. Remember the Viet Nam protest song, "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy?"

"We were neck deep in the Big Muddy, and the BIG FOOL says to push on."

[tom_paine]

8. Because he is a Sociopathic Liar

Our own Tiberius Caesers.

Kind of makes you wish for the Enlightened Rule of Emperor Poppy Augustus.

Hell, kind of makes you long for the honest decency (by comparison) of Richard Nixon!

:puke:

[trof]

11. "First you say you do,

and then you don't.
Then you say you will,
and then you won't.
You're undecided now,
so what are you gonna do?"
flippity-floppity-flippity-floppity

[Beloved Citizen]

14. He wants to be a fireman instead.

Shrub is still looking for himself.

[zbdent]

15. If he's not a war president, then you can't be unpatriotic for

criticizing him.

[gratuitous]

16. He's a little boy up way too late

"I don't wanna be war president anymore!" Okay, Lil George, off to bed with you now.

[cthrumatrix]

17. those questions just nailed him....Rove must be going nuts

[BlackVelvetElvis]

18. Why in the world did Rove cut him loose?

Bush's handlers have always avoided situations like this. Is it a sign of desperation that they will try anything and pray that Bush gets by on percieved charm?

[cthrumatrix]

19. it was a bad PR move...but Kerry is good at this and shrubya is in trouble

[Disturbed]

20. Dumbass changed his mind....

what little there is left of it because people were suggesting that his moronic daughters should join up and ship out to Iraq or that other place...Uh... Oh yeah, Afghanistan.
