3. This is the kind of crap a real media should call him out on daily.
What exactly do you mean? Define "kicking ass". Who's "we"? "kicking who's ass?" What is this ass kicking accomplishing?++

WHY THE HELL DO THEY LET THIS CRAP GO EVERYTIME?

4. Funny, I thought we were trying...
...to build a nation and restore democracy. Now I hear we're just there to "kick ass." Surely there are cheaper and easier ways to accomplish this goal? I'm sure there are good, decent Americans who would line up to have their asses kicked, for a small fraction of the money it's cost to "kick ass" in Iraq.

Georgey Boy really should have looked into more cost effective ways of kicking ass if that was his true objective.

5. Again this shows what kind of person he is.
remember when he said he was going to screw Saddam in the ass? By the way what't his fixation with the ass. I don't know a self respecting gay person waiting around to find out.

6. Always impressed by his eloquence.
Apart from the fact that he must define "kicking ass" differently than everyone else in this solar system, try to imagine Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt or John F. Kennedy using that phrase in public.

How about Martin Luther King ("I have a dream, and in my dream, we KICKED SOME ASS!") or Margaret Thatcher ("Did you see what we did in the Falklands? We KICKED SOME ASS!")

W. never fails to make me proud...to have voted for Gore and Kerry.

8. I believe in kicking ass when necessary but....
I think it it not applicable in this situation.

That was a goof up!
