Bush: any time there's a death, I grieve, obviously

[Cocoa]

he's downright Lincolnesque. Lincoln was famous for thinking about the Civil War "every day." And then there's the famous line from the Gettysburg Address: "duh! of course it's bad all these people died!"



Bush: It is tough in Iraq


US President says Iraq on his mind 'every day' amid mounting pressure to begin withdrawing troops.


WASHINGTON - US President George W. Bush said Monday that the Iraq war was on his mind "every single day" and vowed to complete the mission "for the sake of world peace" despite calls for a US troop withdrawal.


"I think about Iraq every day -- every single day. Because I understand we have troops in harm's way and I understand how dangerous it is there," Bush said at a news conference after a summit with European Union leaders.


"And the reason it's dangerous is because there's these cold- blooded killers that will kill Americans or kill innocent Iraqis in order to try to drive us out of Iraq," he said.


<snip>

Bush said he would "continue thinking about it (Iraq), because I understand we've got kids in harm's way. And I worry about their families. And, obviously, any time there's a death, I grieve."

1. Again

ignoring the thousands of Iraqi's being killed.

[raccoon]

6. Exactly what I was thinking.

I'd love to ask him,

"and what about this kid, dipshit?"

2. sure you do, you f***ing sociopath

I'm surprised his puppet handlers let him comment at all concerning the Iraq quagmire. :puke:

[trotsky]

3. "Now watch this shot."

Heartless asshole.

[mopaul]

4. i grieve, obviously. it's not that fucking obvious dubya

[TahitiNut]

5. "Thinking ... it's hard work."

Pathological narcissist! :grr:

[kayice]

13. If he truely grieved for all the deaths he is responsible for-- he

would be falling off the couch from too many pretzels. He sure showed his 'poppy' he could get the job done, huh? :puke:

[leftchick]

7. I don't think it is obvious to these folks...

[justinsb]

14. Or these people

[Texasgal]

8. " Any time there's a death, I grieve"

Umm... why hasn't he attended any of the dead soilders funerals?

Piece of lying shit!

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. LIAR!

Who is he trying to convince? I bet he like his evil mother doesn't clutter his 'beautiful mind" with thoughts of fallen troops and grieving families.

[ET Awful]

10. Can you give me an example Mr. President?

Dubya: "Excuse me?"

Me: Can you give me a single example of you grieving?

Dubya: "Well of course I grieve."

Me: Can you name some of the individuals you've grieved for?

Him: "Freedom is on the march."

Me: So should I take that as a no?

Him: Well, as I've said, I grieve any time there's a death. Next question.

11. Anyone Know If He's Written A War Widow?

One of Abraham Lincoln's greatest acts of compassion was to write to the widows of lost soldiers. Other Presidents have done this as well.

We know Bunnypants doesn't attend funerals, is loathe to step anywhere near a military hospital unless it's been scrubbed to photo-op clean, but has this oxygen thief ever spent the 10 minutes to sit down and write to a mother or wife who has just lost someone in his war?

I kinda know what the answer will be.

[justinsb]

16. I think he may have had a recruiter contact them

to see if they needed some extra income, but that's about it.

[QuettaKid]

26. You know who HAS written letters?

Walter "Freedom Fries" Jones (R) of North Carolina....he's also recently come out against the war. His home district in Eastern NC is home to a lot of the marines and soldiers that are dying every day over there.

[KharmaTrain]

30. I Know...

I'm hearing there's a lot of rumbling among Congressmen in districts dominated by military bases (especially Marines and Army) about the occupation and the toll it's taking on their areas. Besides the rising toll and continued "mission creep", there's also the cuts in medical and other benefits that have hurt military famlies at their most vulnerable and now base closings.

Welcome to DU

:hi:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

12. Sounds like when I was a kid and my folks would ask me

whether I ever gave a thought to my financial future, and I would hem and haw and say, "Well, sure, obviously I do because it is really important." But I didn't give a shit. I only thought about having fun.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

15. Thank You President Lepetomane!

"Work work work work, hello boys, have a rough nite? I missed you!"

:rofl:

[mopaul]

17. hey i didn't get a HARUMPH outa that guy!

'harumph'!...that's better

[SalmonChantedEvening]

22. I can't stand the sound of his voice

So whenever Chimpy's on TV I hit mute, and all I can hear is Mel Brooks:

"Gentlemen! We must act! We must protect our phoney baloney jobs!"

I'm still in :wow: mode from yesterday when he called the EU guy a "piece of work."

He has no clue how truly offensive he is.

[Oversea Visitor]

18. I say you no good

World more peace when you not president x(
Now all big big mess, you destroy world peace you bad man x(
What mission you want to complete x(
Keep hearing you talk mission but no plan x(
Just keep dragging foot and evryday people die

Now DSM out, 560,000 American sign on it
Still you dont want speak
Not even to families of all the soldiers that die
Man with no balls bad x(

All talk say WMD all talk say Iraq attack US so much nonsense x(

Now you call people cold blooded killer
You think people dumb
Cant see truth. x( You got no heart
Very very cold
Some many people die
Need father to spank son
This all not good x(

19. What's so obvious about it, Mr. pResident?

The only thing that's been obvious during your entire occupation of the Oval Office is that you or your people will say anything to deflect the slightest criticism.

[mopaul]

21. it's obvious to me you don't give a shit mr. president

it's obvious to us all that you don't give a fuck what any of us think in flyover land, but you soon will.

[mopaul]

20. only a hollow, self entitled, arrogant, drug addict could say this

with a straight face.

fuck you mr. president

[liberal N proud]

23. Of course he thinks about it every day

Everyday the "Insurgents" as he calls them keep interfering with his profits from the oil.
Everyday is a dollar he can't make off Iraq oil

[warrens]

24. Ah, a quick check of the Bush dictionary clears this one up

Grieve: v, to experience a violent orgasm.

He's a sociopath. Pure and simple.

[leesa]

25. It's not obvious to any of us. The only reason you think about Iraq

is to tally up the cash you're making for yourself and your buddies.

[Ikonoklast]

27. Sociopathic Liar

One of the only things that keep me sane after listening to this lying fucktard crapweasel is that someday he will stand in judgment in front of his Maker. Knowing that cheers me up immensely.

[dbt]

28. "Right after I get through jerkin' off."

Knowaddamean there, Slick?

[rustydog]

29. Bush disassembling again

Bisassemble, you know, lying (insert smirk).

[woodsprite]

31. He's *ALMOST* telling the truth here

"And the reason it's dangerous is because there's these cold- blooded killers that will kill Americans or kill innocent Iraqis in order to try to drive us out of Iraq," he said.

If he'd just change that last bit to
cold-blooded killers that will kill Americans or kill innocent Iraqis in order to steal the oil and plunder the country.

[Supersedeas]

32. harm's way is hard werk...for chickenhawks to 'talk' about
