Bush still doesn't get it
So, I was reading on AOL News today that Bush was asked about the photos of Sadaam Hussein that were published, with him almost naked.

Bush's response was that he doesn't think it will make the insurgency worse. He said it's "ideology" that's flaming the fans of the insurgency.

The twit still doesn't get it.

1. Well, unless "ideology" means
wanting to expel foreigners who have invaded and occupied your country on a pretext, I would have to disagree with the MonkeyMan

2. Exactly!!!!!
You know, every time I heard that bastard open his mouth, I want to pull my hair out. It's hard for me to believe one individual is such an unapologetic, arrogrant, idiot.

3. Actually, WE don't get it
Two days ago the whole story was the horrors of Newsweek publishing a few words. THEN, it was a catastrophe and Newsweek should apologize.

THEN, it came out that the story had been published before and the military had said it wasn't that story that created the violence in the first place.

SUDDENLY, we get these Saddam pictures. And Bush says they don't create violence. Pictures don't? But words do?

BECAUSE they want to confuse the two stories. One has validity, the flushing of the Koran. The other doesn't, Saddam in his undies.

WE have been had and WE don't even know it yet.

4. Saw the video of this on CBS News tonight. He was almost laughing..
smirk ear to ear. "A pitchure don't make someone a murder, it's ideology". If there were a god, he/she would let someone get close enough to this ass to wipe that smirk off his face.

5. If its him releasing the photos as a diversion, it does no harm, but when
Newsweek reports on it, then it is shameful and the cause of many deaths.

More hypocrisy. What else is new?

8. BINGO!
Now will any of the cowed media connect the dots?

crickets chirping.

The Daily Show and Countdown with Keith Olberman are the only places I expect to see any mention of the hypocrisy.

9. The media seems relieved to be focusing on a WH-generated story
so they don't have to cover the real story.

I bet Rove even tipped them off about the skivy story and gave them a few nuggets of info and sent them on a wild goose chase that leads straight to Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch has become so blissfully wealthy controlling the media board rooms and American minds that he is exactly like King George. He's above criticism. He's above the law.

Man, my respect for peoples' intelligence sinks lower every day.

Did either JS or KO mention the story?

6. Oh good grief
So he expects Newsweek to "apologize" for their story but him not apologize for that? What a jackass!
