Bush: ‘never really thought about’ war.

In an interview with Al Arabiya television, President Bush said, “When I campaigned for office, I never really thought about the decision to put men and women in harm’s way. I never thought that that would happen.” “But the war in Iraq is necessary,” he added. A reporter asked if “emotional moments” with relatives and friends of soldiers killed in Iraq would make him “reconsider or rethink” the war. “Not really,” Bush responded.

1. Well, he is the war president.
Nobody ever said he thinks about it.

8. The Silver Spoon Sociopath lies again.
I can't find the statement right now but Busholini said that he planned on invading Iraq even before he was Selected the first time.

3. The word "douchebag" as a pejorative must have been designed just for him.
Unfortunately, as rich and versatile as the English language is, we have no adequate word for the utterly debased level of douchebaggery practiced by Bush and his fellow douchebags.

4. Seems as though he just stumbled into it. Like a guy with his
BVDs wrapped around his ankles. One day he's out on an August day clearing brush & the next day he's
ousting Saddam.

5. Weird! His Treasury Sec. says Bush was discussing how to start war w/ Iraq from very start
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 06:48 PM by kenny blankenship
sometime between the Selection on Dec. 12, 2000 and Jan. 20, 2001 Bush must have had a very sudden conversion to warlike thoughts and became an advocate of preemptive war.

7. He never really thinks about anything
I remember his interview with Tim Russert in 2004. Russert asked him, how he wanted to be remembered. Bush said he wanted to be remembered as the war president. Well, he has his wish.
I remember thinking how bizarre his answer was. Who the hell would wanted to be remembered for war? Peace is the goal, not war.

10. He is a sociopath
He does not have empathy for others. HE is playing at "war president". The deaths of our soldiers means nothing to him. He cannot feel anything for others.

Of course he's a liar. Being a liar is part of the profile of some with a personality disorder of that sort. He has no conscience.

12. He never thought about it until Rove told him it would make him popular.
And, that he could put on a flight suit and look like a man instead of a nincompoop fratboy.
