Bush Says He Tried to Avoid War 'To The Max,' Explains How God Shapes His Foreign Policy

NEW YORK President Bush today said he had tried to avoid war with Iraq "diplomatically to the max."

Speaking to a business group in Irvine, Ca., he admitted mistakes were made in planning for the Iraq invasion, but he defended the troop level, saying "it was the troop level necessary to do the job," and he would commit the same number if given a second chance.

The remarks came as another former general joined seven others who in recent days have called for the resignation of Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld, saying he had mismanaged the planning and execution of the war.

Bush also explained, in unusually stark terms, how his belief in God influences his foreign policy. "I base a lot of my foreign policy decisions on some things that I think are true," he said. "One, I believe there's an Almighty. And, secondly, I believe one of the great gifts of the Almighty is the desire in everybody's soul, regardless of what you look like or where you live, to be free.

"I believe liberty is universal. I believe people want to be free. And I know that democracies do not war with each other." http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002385210

development,leaving Shrubolini with the mistaken impression that the phrase 'to the max' was still hip.

the way he insists America is a Democracy. He's done this since day one.
And if he is so damn passionate about Freedom and Liberty Worldwide, he ought to have tried for the head of the UN. That's not the job of the CIC of the USA.

23. He hasn't a clue, he only knows what his handlers tell him and he

dutifully repeats it. And since he isn't involved, when he hears the criticism, what little he hears, he gets flustered and tries to overcompensated. What a train wreck he is.
