WASHINGTON (AFP) - President George W. Bush is "grieved" that the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq has reached 4,000 and assumes responsibility for the decisions he has taken, the White House said Monday.

"He obviously is grieved by the moment, but he mourns the loss of every single life from the very first that was lost in this conflict to the ones that are lost today," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.

"And he bears the responsibility for the decisions that he made and he also bears the responsibility to continue to focus on succeeding."

Four US troops were killed when their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb in Baghdad late Sunday, a US military statement said, taking the toll since the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq to 4,000.

1. and Cheney says "So?"

[saigon68]

36. And the mother fucker is celebrating his corporate dividends

A cowardly Chimpanzee

"BRING EM ON"

[Old and In the Way]

2. "Watch this drive"

"Where are those WMD's...they must be here somewhere."

Sorry, Perrino, sociopaths are incapable of grieving. Try another lie.

[newfie11]

3. And he is looking forward to dropping a nuke on Iran

[nancyr]

4. He doesn't even have a soul.

[trusty elf]

11. "No WMD's in here!"

[Botany]

5. Dick Cheney's is one sick bastard

Vice President Dick Cheney, on a visit to Jerusalem, said earlier that the grim milestone "may have a psychological effect on the public but it's a tragedy that we live in a kind of world where that happens."

[bdamomma]

25. oh, this maniac has to go.

he doesn't give a shit about anyone or anything except all his blood money.

They continue to play dangerous mind games with us, psychological effect??? he is probably laughing at it, or another big "so".

[qanda]

6. Whatever!!!

He wouldn't know grief it came up and popped him in his weaselly head. He makes me ill.

[eringer]

7. Yeah, Right, Mr. Lincolnique

OK Dana, you can now take down your "Mission Accomplished" sign. Dana Perino is such a great spokesperson for President Dunsel*. I guess that the moron was so choked up about the losses, that he couldn't do the mourning on his own. It appears that he is convinced that we have all forgotten his powerful words 4,000 dead ago:
"My answer is bring 'em on." —President George W. Bush, on Iraqi insurgents attacking U.S. forces, Washington, D.C., July 3, 2003
Here is the audio clip Presendent Dunsel spewing out those words:

For those of you that don't recall their Star Trek history, the term "dunsel" was used by mid-shipmen in the 23rd century to describe a part which serves no useful purpose.

8. bush** & cheney, two cowards who didn't have the balls to serve

9. As Iraq Toll Nears 4000 -- Bush Sees a "comma"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20080324/cm_huffpost/092898

Greg Mitchell Mon Mar 24, 12:57 AM ET
"As the U.S. death toll neared the inevitable 4000 in Iraq, President Bush gave the country another pep talk this week on staying the course, while continuing to argue that history will wash the blood off his hands. Nothing has changed in his claim that when humans, or God, look back at this episode, it will seem like only a "comma.""


AP:
"Perino said that Bush spends time every day thinking about those who have lost their lives in battle."

And he's "thinking" (to be generous): SUCKERS!

[bdamomma]

26. this is a maniac who has never attended one funeral for

all the lives he has taken away. Sick SOB. When is enough enough for the American public, how much more damage will he infringe and release on mankind.

[Doctor_J]

10. Liar

Ask him to name any five of the casualties and we'll see how grieved he is.

[RavensChick]

12. He won't

'cause the guilt's getting to him so bad he now realizes what we Americans have been saying all along--BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!

But, I digress. Cheney's the one who really doesn't give a shit which way things go now in this horrible war. That's even scarier.

[snappyturtle]

29. I doubt that he could name one! He's not in the same world we are. n/t

[sakabatou]

13. "And he bears the responsibility..."

Yeah fucking right.

[bdamomma]

27. but he is not taking the circumstances or is being held accountable

for his murderous actions.

[Solly Mack]

14. says the war criminal that gets to be President

America's president is a war criminal
America's president is a war criminal

a 2 term war criminal President

and.he.is.still.in.office.

[classysassy]

[L0oniX]

16. Pigs are flying too.

[TankLV]

17. He's a fucking LIAR! He could CARE LESS about it...

And I DARE anyone to prove different...

He's a fucking WAR CRIMINAL!

If he "cared" about just ONE SINGLE PERSON he wouldn't have LIED us into HIS ILLEGAL WAR OF CHOICE BASED ON LIES!!!!

[tom_paine]

18. Lie #11794. n/t

[CJCRANE]

20. Just "cannon fodder units" for the Bush family war machine nt

[olddad56]

21. Before one can grieve, they have to have the capacity to feel.

[lonestarnot]

22. Fuckwad. You've lost your knack for lying.

[bdamomma]

23. he doesn't even know the meaning of the word

grieved.

Is it pitchforks and torches time yet? What a POS/monster this man is.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. Does he grieve about the 80,000+ civilians who have been killed too?

Or don't they count?

[bdamomma]

28. no, just like he didn't care about the victims of Katrina.

he is just an arrogant prick, who needs his a$$ handed to him.

[lpbk2713]

30. I hope the SOB chokes on his words one of these days.

[Thor_MN]

31. Grieved? So he is all over it now and everything is A-OK...

The economy is strong, and so is our will?

What? He stubbed his toe and combined the pain with grieving for the 4000 American people he sent to thier deaths to prove that he could do it better than`poppie?

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. The only time he grieves

is when the cost of oil drops.

[Jeffpeters]

33. A hidden (human) cost of this war

Watch a video of U.S. veterans speaking about memories of Iraq that haunt them long after their deployment:

[laylah]

34. Come get me you ASSHOLES because`

I wish that lowlife POS as violent a death as he has sentenced so many innocents to! My name is Jenn Reed, I live in Coal Valley, IL and I approve this message...MF! :mad:

[Orsino]

35. Never mind the millions of brown people...

...killed, maimed, bereaved, paupered or made homeless by this goddamned war.

Someone issued a press release saying Da Prez is "grieved," but like all * press releases, it's bullshit. Perhaps he wishes Americans would stop dying, but he looooves war.

[HuffleClaw]

37. "he bears the responsibility for the decisions that he made"

since when?
