US First Lady Laura Bush has spoken about the impact of the Iraq war on her role and life: http://news.viewlondon.co.uk/First_Lady_speaks_of_war_15138754.html


"Obviously we didn't expect what happened on September 11th, we never expected we would be in a war, and that is very, very difficult," she said in a BBC interview.

"I watched people that I love very much in this job - my mother-in-law and my father-in-law - and I had a real idea of the weight of it, the weight of the job.

"I remember during the Gulf War when President Bush, my husband's father, was president, and the very start of it when the body bags went over to Kuwait - and the whole worry of that, the whole gravity of that.

"Many people are very, very sincerely anti-war, everyone is anti-war, the president is anti-war, no-one wants war, but no-one wanted what happened on September 11 either."

1. Of course no one expected 9/11. That's why Osama's being smoked out.

And why nations that aren't a threat have nothing to fear.

Geeeeez, people.

2. ".. the president is anti-war ..."

Uh, Laura, that's not what the "War Prezident" told us! You might want to check with him on that.

3. He was warned about 9/11 and did nothing about it.

Nice post. Nice use of "hypertextualization" (i.e. links - but the other word refers to the conceptual relationships between post and links).

4. Pickles is a child killer

plain and simple, she has no moral authority to speak on anything.

5. i.e. "Someone had to be seen to pay

for September 11 and this fitted in nicely with Georgie's bosses trying to find a reason to invade Iraq."
