Bush's Purgatory

[Sapphire Blue]

From the Huffington Post...

"I would be interested to know whether anyone else agrees with me that, before entering heaven, George W. Bush must spend a few years in a special purgatory where all inmates are required to watch Baghdad ER non-stop." - Gary Hart

"You want to let him into heaven?"

" Knowing him, he'll find a way to go AWOL."

"God told me not to tell George, but, God said George isn't going to heaven. He's going to work for Dick Cheney in the other place."

2. Or made to read his dad's quote from A World Transformed

""In his memoirs, A World Transformed, written more than five years ago, George Bush, Sr. wrote the following to explain why he didn't go after Saddam Hussein at the end of the Gulf War:

"Trying to eliminate Saddam .. would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible ... We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq ...there was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of our principles. Furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-Cold War world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations' mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land.""

If only his son could read.

Colin Powell would be made to join * and recite The Powell Doctrine:

""Essentially, the Doctrine expresses that military action should be used only as a last resort and only if there is a clear risk to national security by the intended target; the force, when used, should be overwhelming and disproportionate to the force used by the enemy; there must be strong support for the campaign by the general public; and there must be a clear exit strategy from the conflict in which the military is engaged.""
