What the heck...?

This article was brought to my attention today, but note that this happened twenty days ago. Did you hear about it? Bush Cites Racism in Remarks On Iraq (washingtonpost.com)

Bush said, "There's a lot of people in the world who don't believe that people whose skin color may not be the same as ours can be free and self-govern."

Same as "ours"? Who the heck is he talking about? America or just white people?

Well it becomes quite clear later in the article that he meant white people. And here I was thinking that the President of the United States of America represented all Americans, not just the caucasians. Silly me.

And why won't he identify those "people in the world", especially since there's a "lot" of them? Maybe the War on Terrorism needs to be expanded?

What he said.

One of my favorite comic strips has weighed in on this Iraqi prison nonsense: Yahoo! News - Boondocks.

Bush should reconsider his refusal to read newspapers...

My bad: Bush finally comes clean.
Or does he?

Per the following story, our President said "I can't tell you how sorry I am to them and their families for the humiliation".

Is that really an apology? If I said "I can't tell you how much I want to pay you back this loan" does that mean I am actually going to pay the money back? How about "I can't tell you how much I love you"...is it "CAN'T" or "WON'T".

I guess if the President had better control of the English language, this particular "apology" wouldn't seem so vague. But obviously that's just asking too much of the Nation's top leader.

Even stranger is that Bush went on to say that times are tough for the United States in the Middle East because "people don't really understand our intentions."

Well then, please explain our intentions Mr. President. You have the microphone in your face, USE IT!

Bush needs to take lessons from Rumsfeld.

Whether he's being sincere or not, no one will ever know. But at least he's apologizing, AND he's doing it to the right people:Yahoo! News - Rumsfeld Apologizes to Iraqi Prisoners.

Rumsfeld even goes on to say he takes "full responsibility". Wow, and here I was, thinking that the buck stopped with the Commander in Chief. I guess if you have enough lieutenants willing to fall on their own swords for you, you never have to get dirty with blame, eh Mr. President?

Tell me this doesn't sound fishy...

I think a lot of strange things happened on September 11, 2001, and the strangest events were the ones that involved the air traffic controllers, the FAA and NORAD (NORth American Air Defense). Supposedly indestructible "black boxes" were destroyed, bodies and huge sections of planes "disappeared"...and now this:Newsday.com: Tape of 9/11 Controllers Was Destroyed.

I believe that when the TRUTH of this story finally comes to light, it will be a dark, dark day in American History.

Crocodile Tears.

Big news today: The President said "I was sorry" Bush Sorry for Abuse of Iraqi Prisoners.

I haven't even read this entire article, and already I wanted to share it with the world. Why? Because no matter how ridiculous he seems when he does something, no matter how bad it gets, it can still get worse. President Bush has the uncanny ability to fall to the bottom of the barrel...and keep on falling. It's like he dug a hole in the barrel and is now burrowing underground. Lower than low.

He apologized to King Abdullah II of Jordan. Why? Did we torture some of his relatives or something? Seems like he should be apologizing to the prisoners that suffered the abuse, don't you think? You dent the car of the man across the street, and then you go apologize to his neighbor? HOW STUPID IS THAT?

HOW MUCH MORE INSINCERE CAN ONE MAN BE?

Bush speaks of being "sick to his stomach" from seeing the images. My god, what happens to his stomach when he sees the recon photos after we've dropped several hundred tons of bombs on a village?
