Bush Accepts Iraq-Vietnam Comparison???

[Contrary1]

Can you believe this?

Below is a portion of the transcript from ABC News' George Stephanopoulos' Interview with President George W. Bush:


STEPHANOPOULOS: It's been a brutal month in Iraq.

BUSH: That's right.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Yesterday, 11 Americans killed, another American killed today. On a day like that, what kind of reports do you get from the battlefield?

BUSH: Well, I get that report, that soldiers were killed...

STEPHANOPOULOS: Every casualty.

BUSH: Yeah, absolutely, I read every casualty, and it breaks my heart, because behind every casualty is somebody with tears in their eyes. Behind every casualty are families that will be mourning the loss of life for a lifetime. I think the hardest part of the presidency is to meet with families who've lost a loved one. //

STEPHANOPOULOS: Tom Friedman wrote in the New York Times this morning that what we might be seeing now is the Iraqi equivalent of the Tet offensive...

BUSH: Yeah.

STEPHANOPOULOS: ... in Vietnam in 1968. Tony Snow this morning said he may be right.

BUSH: Mm-hmm.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you agree?

BUSH: He could be right. There's certainly a stepped up level of violence, and we're heading into an election. //

STEPHANOPOULOS: But what's your gut tell you?

BUSH: George, my gut tells me that they have all along been trying to inflict enough damage that we'd leave. And the leaders of Al Qaida have made that very clear.

1. He must have been following Tony SnowJob's lead

I doubt W knows what the hell the Tet offensive was. His follow up statement makes no sense.

2. Wait til Rove sees this

there will be denials that he ever said it, misunderstood the question or something.

3. He doesn't have a fucking clue what the question was about.

I'll grant him that. But only because I have no problem seeing what a fool he is. He should know, of course, but he is too stupid to know what he said.
