George Bush's Incoherent Answer to the most Important Question

[Geek_Girl]

On September 30, 2004 the during the 1st debate for the 2004 election, the moderator posed a very important question to George W. Bush

“Has the war in Iraq been worth the cost of American lives, 1,052 as of today?”

George W. Bush’s answer:

You know, every life is precious. Every life matters. You know, my hardest -- the hardest part of the job is to know that I committed the troops in harm's way and then do the best I can to provide comfort for the loved ones who lost a son or a daughter or a husband or wife.

You know, I think about Missy Johnson. She's a fantastic lady I met in Charlotte, North Carolina. She and her son Bryan, they came to see me. Her husband PJ got killed. He'd been in Afghanistan, went to Iraq.

You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way.

I told her after we prayed and teared up and laughed some that I thought her husband's sacrifice was noble and worthy. Because I understand the stakes of this war on terror. I understand that we must find Al Qaida wherever they hide.

We must deal with threats before they fully materialize. And Saddam Hussein was a threat, and that we must spread liberty because in the long run, the way to defeat hatred and tyranny and oppression is to spread freedom.

Missy understood that. That's what she told me her husband understood. So you say, "Was it worth it?" Every life is precious. That's what distinguishes us from the enemy. Everybody matters. But I think it's worth it, Jim.

I think it's worth it, because I think -- I know in the long term a free Iraq, a free Afghanistan, will set such a powerful in a part of the world that's desperate for freedom. It will help change the world; that we can look back and say we did our duty.

This is probably one of the most important questions of the debate. George W. needed to convince the American people that the human cost of the Iraq war is worth it. His answer was incoherent and nonsensical. This is a telling sign for a man who would rush a nation into war without weighing the cost or having a plan to win the peace.

1. He can't put a coherent sentence together

He has brought more shame to our country than anyone else in history, that I can think of.

A Yale and Harvard grad. Who did his homework?

2. Pathetic, isn't it?

We have so many brilliant people in this country worthy of the position of POUSA and we have this piece of feces...Shameful, isn't it?

I think Laura Bush should read his words to him so he can know the profound statement he made in front of 62.5M people!

Well, maybe Jenna or Barb could read it to him. Laura is too busy trying to find another outfit like Teresa's. :-)

We deserve better than this!

3. Just like that OB-GYN "lovin' his patients"...

"You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way."

Where to even begin with this dreadful, creepy, treacly statement? I think I'll let it stand on its own except to say that this man feels way overworked if "to TRY to love her as best I can" is seen as hard work!

Poor woman, imagine Dubya trying to love you as best he can? Ick!!!
