Bush: "If I were Hezbollah, I'd be claiming victory too."
Edited on Mon Aug-14-06 05:05 PM by BurtWorm



BUSH: First of all, you know, if I were Hezbollah, I'd be claiming victory too. But the people around the region and the world need to take a step back and recognize that Hezbollah's action created a very strong reaction that unfortunately caused some people to lose their lives, innocent people to lose their lives.

BUSH: But on the other hand, it was Hezbollah that caused the destruction.

...

BUSH: A group of ideologues, by the way, who use terror to achieve an objective -- this is the challenge.

me wrong and reaches a totally new level of lunacy.

9. He's so dumb
So if he was Hezbollah, then they are right to claim victory, but because he isn't Hezbollah, then they are wrong to claim victory?

It's part of his psychopathy.

14. He NEVER says "die". He ALWAYS says "lose...life", as if it is simply
another possession that he, egalitarian that he is, "recognizes" that we all "own".

Prove me wrong.
