Bush Admits He Was Wrong, Hell Freezes Over....

[deminflorida]

"Bush regrets language that hurt diplomacy"

"WASHINGTON - President Bush pledged to be more diplomatic, saying he regretted sending the wrong impression of the United States when he used phrases like “Bring ’em on” and “dead or alive” in his first term."

1. I wonder who told him to say he regrets it?

it certainly did not come from his stone-cold heart

[Cha]

14. rove could see that it's been nothing but

a DISASTER..the Insurgents were talking about it the other day..saying something like .."we Are bringing it on"..really taunting bush on it.

They don't admit mistakes but this couldn't be let go unnoticed.

We'll see if it has any effect on the Iraqis.

30. Maybe his "speechalist" told him to. :-)

2. Gimme a break! (not you, dem)

It's fixin' to be 'cover your ass' time!

[deminflorida]

5. Note: He follows up with the Jeb is not running lie....

Somethings up....

What could it be????

:shrug:

[babylonsister]

12. That's SOP (standard

operating procedure). Deny, deny, deny, until the day comes that Jeb announces and runs. There are some similarities to WMDs, now that I think about it. They were there, there, there, til they weren't. I feel powerless indeed.

3. Alright... Who is this guy

and what have you done with the pResident?

[punpirate]

4. I think this is part of the...

... "we're going to play nice for a while to 'Old Europe' because we want NATO to help take the heat off of us in Iraq" routine.

[susanna]

25. We have a winner! n/t

[DELUSIONAL]

6. These are "little" things -- what about WMD claim & thousands of dead

in Iraq?

How stupid does he think people are?

Oh never mind.

[PA Democrat]

7. Yes, and he wants to be the "peace president"

Just pay no attention to that quagmire over there in that country whose name he shall not speak.

He is the peace president.

He is diplomatic.

He is the peace president.

He is diplomatic.

AARGHHHH!

[Solly Mack]

9. Exactly. He's working on his legacy

Shaping it up by rewriting history to reflect a man of peace and diplomacy.

[nostamj]

8. i'm sure the thousands of dead and maimed

and their families and friends

are comforted now.

along with the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis.

the most hated man on earth, the worst president ever.

[starmaker]

10. pure bush*t

playing the softer side to appease repub

old saying believe nothing that you hear
and only half of what you see

[Toronto Ron]

11. Of course he apologizes after the election

That kind of idiot "bring 'em on" talk makes freepers and their wannabes pop woodies.

[saltpoint]

13. Doesn't seem like 'sorry' quite covers it.

[Cha]

15. Precisely! The words he said were

responsible for at least hundreds of deaths and he says he's "sorry"?!

[saltpoint]

16. Hi, zidzi.

Yes. I keep hoping that people in other countries will not judge us by this president.

Because we have no quarrel with them. It's only Bush and his neocons who want to bomb the hell out of everybody.

Thanks for your post.

[Cha]

23. Hi Crusoe..

If we were reading about these times in our history books ..we would be incredulous! Just like we are about.. how the Germans could have let hitler get so far.

Here's to something happening in the not too distant future that will bring us back from the brink and turn our Country around!

:toast:

[saltpoint]

24. I'm with ya. Here, here!

[ET Awful]

17. What about "With us or against us" or "There can be no doubt that

Saddam Hussein . . . " or "We won't be proven wrong" (regarding WMD's)

[roguevalley]

18. he regrets it only because its now being used by the other side

and it drives a stake into the heart of everyone with a brain each time they use it. It could hurt him and that is the only reason he gives a rip. He could have said this two years ago.

[Cha]

26. Waiting two years for an

apology for something that has been so devastating..I'm surprised they didn't just destroy all the tapes and try and spin he never said it..oh wait..was it in F9/11?

It's been so long since I saw Michael's documentary.

[girl gone mad]

19. But that's what his freeper fanboys love about him.

Where would he be without his tough guy image?

[shraby]

20. He didn't say he was sorry, he said he

regretted saying it. There's a difference.

[NYC]

22. You are correct. He did not apologize.

He's just backtracking.

[Cha]

27. he "regreted" blurting

it out..

[leesa]

31. Absolutely. The only thing he's sorry about is that it backfired.

[Historic NY]

21. didn't see any flying pigs..........n/t

[More Than A Feeling]

28. Unbelievable!

I didn't watch the interviews in question, but if this is accurate...wow. There is no hope for Bush the president, but there may yet be hope for Bush the person.

(disclaimer: hope for Bush the person is not to be construed as approval of anything that Bush has done which is contrary to the values of America. Which is everything, so there. I do believe he should be held accountable for what he has done, including the treasonous things. statement null and void in the event of influence of polls)

[The Backlash Cometh]

29. He's not sorry. He's been burning bridges since before he got into

office. He just apologizing to keep a certain sector of his voting core.

[Sparkly]

32. Expressing "regret" is enough for a president, but not for an anchorman.

In any other job, people get fired for screwing up. In this administration, people get rewarded.

(Did he have any regret about the words "crusade" or "axis of evil?" Or maybe it was just the bombs that "sent the wrong impression of the United States?") :(

[sakabatou]

33. It may go like this:

Demon: Sir, we have a problem.
Satan: What is it now?!
Demon: Bush...
Satan: Yes...?
Demon: Bush... he told... he told the truth for once.
Satan: F--k! Oh! Now I owe Jesus $20...

[Viva_La_Revolution]

34. LOL!!!
