Two views of "Bush the Decider"
Or, deciderererer...

First, this headline article:
Bush: Anger over war won’t change U.S. policy
Calling resistance against terrorism the “defining struggle of the 21st century,” President Bush declared Tuesday that he would not let Americans’ frustration with the war deter him from finishing the job in Iraq.

In an exclusive interview Tuesday night on “NBC Nightly News,” the president said history would vindicate his decision to invade Iraq in 2003 and remove President Saddam Hussein from power. But it would consign him to ignominy if he heeded the calls of critics and much of the public to pull U.S. troops home before democracy could be stabilized in Iraq, he said.

“If we lose our nerve and leave the Middle East before the job is finished, the world will be much worse off,” Bush told “Nightly News” anchor and Managing Editor Brian Williams.

The other view, his own from an earlier time:
"We don't believe in planners and deciders making the decisions on behalf of Americans."—Scranton, Pa., Sept. 6, 2000

1. How did this guy even get 10% of the vote in 2000,
it puzzles me.

3. But...didn't he say he *wasn't* finishing the job in Iraq?
He said we wouldn't be out of there as long as he was Prezinent.

4. That's right...and he'll make sure we STAY there so long as HE is
the pretzeldent, and make sure whoever Follows him gets stuck holding the stinking sack of shit he piled up.

No matter WHAT we want, 'cause HE is the one, the only, "deciderererer" - every time I use that today, I stick another -er onto the end. :)
