bush regrets saying he'd get bin Laden 'dead or alive' & other stupidities

As his presidency nears its end, a reflective President Bush suggested Tuesday that he regrets some of his more blunt statements on the war on terrorism over the last eight years and said he wishes he had not spoken in front of a "Mission Accomplished" banner only a month after U.S. troops in Iraq were deployed.

President Bush says his wife told him that as president, he should watch his words carefully.

"I regret saying some things I shouldn't have said," Bush told CNN's Heidi Collins when asked to reflect on his regrets over his two terms as president. "Like 'dead or alive' and 'bring 'em on.' My wife reminded me that, hey, as president of the United States, be careful what you say."

-------the asshole makes no statement about any regrets he might feel for the unnecessary deaths of 4000 soldiers and a million Iraqis, or any other regrets. Must be nice to be a sociopath.

2. Republican cowards are all talk, no action
Pussies like Bush talk tough, but go AWOL and desert their military units when the going could get rough.

3. The worst thing he said was......
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
