Bush: "In terms of a deadline, there needs to be one. It needs to happen."

For Kosovo to become independent (as Kevin Drum noted in appropriate disgust):

YUK YUK....The frat-boy-in-chief visited Albania this weekend. The topic at hand was independence for Kosovo:

"At some point in time, sooner rather than later, you've got to say, 'Enough is enough — Kosovo is independent,' " Mr. Bush said...."In terms of a deadline, there needs to be one. It needs to happen."

But on Sunday, Mr. Bush tried to backtrack when asked when that deadline might be. "First of all, I don't think I called for a deadline," Mr. Bush said, during a press appearance with Mr. Berisha in the courtyard of a government ministry building. He was reminded that he had.

"I did?" he asked, sounding surprised. "What exactly did I say? I said deadline? O.K., yes, then I meant what I said." The reporters laughed.

Look, I'll admit that my sense of humor has been stretched to the breaking point over the past few years. But is it really too much to ask the president of the United States to take his own policies seriously enough to actually know what they are?

3. yes, it is too much to ask

until he's gone, don't expect anything but disappointment.

i hope he enjoys retirement in Paraguay, because that's the only place people won't be telling him that he fucked America up permanently.

9. I hope he DOESN'T enjoy his retirement

as he lives out his life in his little cell in the Hague. I hope he never makes it to Paraguay.

5. But no deadline for getting out of Iraq which we supposedly returned to sovereign independent status

almost THREE YEARS ago.

6. Classic illustration of how his "straight shooter who sticks to his guns" image is bullshit

He won't even offer new comment, as to not be exposed as the real flip-flopper.

"Oh, you want my opinion on that position? What did I say my opinion was earlier? Oh, well, that's still what it is, I guess"

8. That brainless dipstick couldn't find his ass with both hands...

...or Kosovo on a map if it was marked "HERE IT IS! KOSOVO! RIGHT HERE, DAMMIT!" :dunce:

10. What am I missing here? Did bush have anything to do with

freeing Kosovo?

11. I'm sure he was just practicising saying the word

after learning it.
