I hugged, I cried, I empathized -- who said it?

It was George!

In an interview Tuesday with 12 news organizations, including the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Bush reflected on his administration's accomplishments and the challenges that lie ahead, offering insights into his personality and style of leadership. He showed flashes of self-deprecating humor but acknowledged the emotional weight of sending young men and women into combat.

"I'm sad when we lose life," he said. "I understand that it was my decision that sent those brave soldiers there in the first place." During a recent meeting with the families of slain soldiers, he recalled, "I hugged, I cried, I empathized."

He said he also still grieves for the nearly 3,000 who were killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, adding, "The decisions and actions we're taking will make America safer from these types of attacks again."

Bush said he draws heavily on his religious faith. "Obviously, I pray about the decisions I make," he said. "I find my faith sustains me in this job."

1. Yeah, that must be why

He summed up 9/11 as "an interesting day" in one interview and actually detailed how he and Laura were able to end the day with a laugh in another interview.

This guy has spent more time grieving over broken bottles of Jack Daniels than he has worring about dead Americans.

2. I wish, as I have since the 2000 election...

... that the public will eventually see this administration for what it is--the largest group of con men to have ever invaded our government--and to see George Bush as the front man for this bunch of racketeers.

Cheers.

3. If ever a case called for the enforcement of RICO laws, this is it.

This administration is nothing but a jumbo version of organized crime.

Secrecy is very important.
