Bush: 'Sometimes, words have consequences' - IDIOT ALERT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush says he now sees that tough talk can have an "unintended consequence."

During a round-table interview with reporters from 14 newspapers, the president, who not long ago declined to identify any mistakes he'd made during his first term, expressed misgivings for two of his most famous expressions: "Bring 'em on," in reference to Iraqis attacking U.S. troops, and his vow to get Osama bin Laden "dead or alive."

Such brilliance! You don't suppose that a tall black monolith was outside the White House, do you?

(Gratuitious reference to 2001, A Space Odessy, wherein a monolith helped a chimp first discover how to use tools)

5. Come on, give him a break. Afterall he's only what 15?
He may have been alive for 55 years, but he was born again at the youthful age of 40, so he had to start all his learnin' over again.

"Sometimes words have consequences you don't intend them to mean."
