Bush claims the Supreme Court backed HIM on Guantanamo

[kpete]

The New York Times reports Bush claims the Supreme Court backed him on Guantanamo.

"It didn't say we couldn't have done — couldn't have made that decision, see?" Mr. Bush said at a news conference in Chicago. "They were silent on whether or not Guantánamo — whether or not we should have used Guantánamo. In other words, they accepted the use of Guantánamo, the decision I made."

Nice try, Mr. President, but Guantanamo wasn't the issue in the case -- the use of military tribunals was, and there was no approval of them.

1. He may believe that..

I'm sure that Rove, Cheney & Consiglieri Gonzales have all told him not to worry about it.

2. OMG- does he really think we are that stupid?

7. Who knows? The real problem is he is that deluded.

9. No, but he knows his base will blindly accept what he says..

They won't actually read the decision which is like what 80 pages or so? Not counting the dissenting opinion and the concurring opinions.

The sheeple simply won't bother.

3. this is why silence is bad

since they didn't DIRECTLY address the atrocity of what Little Lord Chimpenfurher has done, he claims it's okay.

That garbage simply must stop.

4. never misunderestimahte the power of bush to invent reality.

if this man was an ordinary citizen he would've been locked up in some ward long ago...he happens though to be the son of covert hands POPPY...therefore lots of people bow and bend their knees to the insanity.

5. Doesn't it all depend on the meaning of is?

:shrug: up is certainly down to this Cabal. A LIE is the Truth and War is Actually Peace.
