Bush tears up over story of kidnapping. How could they!
From a story in the Inquirer about the W. and Koizumi get-together:

"The two leaders also took North Korea to task for human-rights violations. Bush called a visit to his office by the mother of a Japanese girl kidnapped by North Korea one of the most touching moments of his presidency.

"It took everything I could," Bush said, "not to weep listening to her. It also reminded me about the nature of the regime...

What kind of regime would kidnap people?"

Does this man have any connection to reality at all or understand the meaning of irony?

8. We also kidnapped the families of leading Iraqi Sunni insurgents
including their small children, a clear violation of international law.

6. One thing to say it, another to do it; you have to have a soul to cry.

9. Hitler cried when his dog Blondie died
after taking a poison pill that Hitler had given him.

Hitler cried. Bush cried. Jesus wept.

Which of the above really felt sorrow and anguish?
