Bush Defends All Aspects of Iraq Policy
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/bush

WASHINGTON - President Bush is seeking to set the record on Iraq straight as he sees it, arguing that his decision to go to war was correct, the aftermath has been successful and feuding about it among his foreign policy team is nonexistent.

The effort is part of a White House public relations offensive that began last week with a series of speeches by Bush and other top administration officials, aimed at countering dropping poll numbers.

"I absolutely made the right decision at the right time,"

"We've got a very clear strategy," Bush told Hearst-Argyle Television. "The American people, all they have to do if they want to figure out the strategy is look at exactly what we did and there's a great deal of consistency."

"The person who is in charge is me."

"There's a sense that people in America aren't getting the truth," he told Hearst-Argyle. "I'm mindful of the filter through which some news travels, and sometimes you just have to go over the heads of the filter and speak directly to the people."


"I fully recognize that, you know, not everyone agrees," he said. "Hopefully they agree I'm a person who knows how to lead."

4. So, in other words, he says he's infallible...
...and anyone who thinks otherwise simply doesn't understand 'the message' due to the actions of those beyond his control (ie., the media).

Sounds like a psychosis to me.

5. Oh, we're not getting the truth alright...
Edited on Tue Oct-14-03 08:33 AM by ixion
But the Truth is not the 'truth' as the Mad Chimp sees it. :grr:

and NO.. I do not agree that this lunatic is someone who knows who to lead. I wouldn't put that guy in charge of a hot dog stand.

And when the hell was the last time * spoke directly to the people? Every policy he announces is done so on a military base or at the AEI.

7. The lemming in the front of the pack is a "leader" too
Of course that is the "what?"

I guess journalists don't ask the "Who, Where, Why, and How?" anymore.

6. The person who is in charge is me, he says.
So the buck stops with him. Good. Watch out for that 'filter', Dubya. Filters are bad.

9. So, now we know who to imprison right?
Yay! He's admitted his guilt! Keep a record of this, so he's fully reponsible for all this atrocity!

10. "I'm the leader, me, I'm the leader! It is not Uncle Dick, me, I'm the...
leader! ME! ME! ME!" says our preschooler in the WH.

11. He does indeed have a very clear strategy
But he doesn't have his greedy mitts on all that precious, precious Iraqi crude yet. <Homer Simpson drool sounds>

Lil George has been successful, however, in funneling large amounts of the Treasury directly into the pockets of his political backers, so that part of the strategery is right on course.

12. more bush lies
"Saddam definately has Weapons of mass destruction"

"Saddam does have Weapons of mass destruction"

"Saddam did have Weapons of mass destruction"

"Saddam could have had Weapons of mass destruction"

"Saddam was thinking about Weapons of mass destruction"

"Saddam was close to getting Weapons of mass destruction"

"Saddam never had Weapons of mass destruction"

"Saddam was a really mean guy"

Does anyone see a pattern here???
