Bush on the invasion of Iraq leading to al Qaeda presence: 'Yeah, that's right. So what?'

[Amerigo Vespucci]

In an interview with a reporter following a shoe being thrown at his head, President George W. Bush had a snippy answer for the fact that al Qaeda didn't take a stand in Iraq until he invaded: "So what?"

Bush spoke with ABC's Martha Raddatz following the shoe incident in Baghdad, which reportedly left White House spokesperson Dana Perino injured during the melee that ensued as the Iraqi journalist who threw the shoe was being subdued.

During the interview, Bush says his legacy will "take time," but includes No Child Left Behind and "52 months of uninterrupted job growth," then speaks about his role in "protecting" America after 9/11. He mentions that al Qaeda has turned out to be a problem in Iraq.

Raddatz points out that al Qaeda didn't choose to make Iraq a base to fight from until after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. Bush's response? "Yeah, that's right. So what?"

10. Reminds me of the old joke...

about the man who jumps out of a high window of a tall building, and at each floor says "Ok so far." There's your 52 months...OK so far...blam!

6. typical...

I love how he forgets that 9/11 happened on his watch. If there were another Administration would there have been a 9/11? Would they have heeded the warning provided by the Intelligence briefing? Would NORAD have been unresponsive? So many if's..George W. Bush had not been appointed President.

7. I read this and

watched the video. I'm also watching "Recount."

I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. My head is pounding. I'm gonna hurt someone somewhere in just a little while.

This interview with Fuckface is something from hell. He's insane, rewriting everything, blaming it all on anything but him, and a physician friend of mine told me to watch his mouth - the strange, sporadic, side-to-side movements suggest a side effect of a particular antidepressant. His teeth are strangely yellow, I notice.

I'd gladly help him get a new set of teeth.

How I loathe this scumbag.........................
