The President Gets it...
The President Gets it...

A 7-year-old boy asked the president, "How can people help on the war on terror?"

Bush responded by saying he expects and welcomes "an honest debate about Iraq," but he dislikes assertions that he believes veer into reckless accusation, such as when critics say policy-makers "lied" or that "they are in there for oil" or in Iraq for the sake of Israel.

"That's the kind of debate that basically says the mission and the sacrifice were based on false premise," he said.

1. He responds with the Iraq war??
Still spewing that propaganda, right into the ears of a child. The Iraq war has NOTHING to do with the "war on terror." What a liar.

2. Well, little boy . . .
You can start by WATCHING WHAT YOU SAY.

Then, you can bug your parents to take you to Disneyland, in Florida, where Jeb is Governor! And get them to spend a lot of money! Maybe they could drive you down there from Kentucky in a HUMMER!

3. Bush likes you, just as long as you're a cheerleader for him.
If you try and tell the truth, you're an Enemy Of The State.

5. yep...
How can someone have an ''honest'' debate, when the jerk refuses to even discuss the premise of the war, itself?

You can't, in Bush, and his supporters' eyes, and it's really just this simple: Anyone who questions Bush must, therefore, be dishonest, and any debate that follows must accept THAT as a valid premise.
