Q Mr. President, on the way to Europe, you gave a very interesting interview for The Times newspaper in which you basically said that you regret your war rhetoric. Now I'm wondering, do you actually just regret your war rhetoric, or do you regret having gone to war with Iraq?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I don't regret it at all. Removing Saddam Hussein made the world a safer place. And yes, I told the guy -- the guy said, now what could you do over? First of all, you don't get to do things over in my line of work. But I could have used better rhetoric to indicate that one, we tried to exhaust the diplomacy in Iraq; two, that I don't like war. But, no, the decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the right decision.

1. Prove it, Asshole !

Just saying it doesn't make it so. To the contrary, it probably means it's another lie. Most people beleive there are more terrorists since your blunder and that we are a less safe world. Prove your comments, Bush.

6. Don't you know? All of them Iraqis are just going to forget who killed whom. nt

2. Yes, some better rhetoric would have made it all better

You tremendous asshat fuckwit nimrod jackass moron douchebag.

5. That's the only reason I didn't support the war!

If he was better-spoken, I would have been behind it 100%!

:sarcasm: in case someone is a moran.

7. I think removing Bush would make the world safer...

8. we tried to exhaust the diplomacy in Iraq

But it was working so we threw the weapon inspectors out before diplomacy ruined my war.

9. safer than what? a standoff with your opponent trapped?

hussein wasn't killing his people on the scale that we are. he wasn't exporting jihad. he was rattling his sabre & turning into a senile joke.

bush went looking for easy arab prey. he chose violence over kindness. instead of proving our strength, he revealed our weakness.

10. Sorry, George

the demise of one petty dictator is not worth 700 billion dollars, countless deaths, ruined lives, and an economy in the crapper.

Saddam Hussein was not worth the cost. Not even close.

Of course, George would never ever admit he made a mistake about anything.

11. Then why isn't Iraq safer?...

those aren't roses the Iraqis are hurling at Americans over there dumbass!
