Trent Lott: "They all look the same to me"

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush barely mentioned the war in Iraq when he met with Republican senators behind closed doors in the Capitol Thursday morning and was not asked about the course of the war, Sen. Trent Lott, R-Mississippi, said.

"No, none of that," Lott told reporters after the session when asked if the Iraq war was discussed. "You're the only ones who obsess on that. We don't and the real people out in the real world don't for the most part."

Lott went on to say he has difficulty understanding the motivations behind the violence in Iraq.

"It's hard for Americans, all of us, including me, to understand what's wrong with these people," he said. "Why do they kill people of other religions because of religion? Why do they hate the Israeli's and despise their right to exist? Why do they hate each other? Why do Sunnis kill Shiites? How do they tell the difference? They all look the same to me."

3. He's a Repuke senator from Mississippi...

his white constituents worship him and think of him as a great MODERATE. They think of ALL Muslims as rag-heads and sand-ni**ers and wish they would all kill each other off. You have to picture these monsters in their natural settings to understand them.

How many times do we have to hear this asshole make racial/bigoted comments? I guess he is getting his last barbs in before being kicked out of office for good.
