2. Huh? A comma in the history on the war in terror?
Kind of like all of the "numbers" out there getting blown up?

What a completely wierd thing to say.

5. Beyond weird. How do you think it sounds to someone who just lost
a loved one, or a Marine just back with a leg blown off by an IED?

3. It was code speak to the far right and to the christian "base"
something in the bible about God not seeing lives as having periods just commas- you can always be saved that sort of thing.

Apparently he was just giving them a "I'm on your side" coded message much like mentioning Dred Scott at the debates (code for the pro-life crowd)

4. Clip here. Basically, Bush said the Iraq war is a comma in history

in an interview by Wolf Blitzer.

I really want him to choke on that remark. It may be just a comma, but a lot of blood was used to print it.

6. So Bush and has insane adm. will just be a "comma", too?
Codespeak to the ultra conservative Christians?

This is so nuts!

Do they just sit around late at night drinking and smoking and making this shit up?

7. I don't know. It amazes me that they would think this way, and it
amazes me even more that they'd dare to rub our noses in it.
