Bush Quote for Dummies
"Knowing what I knew then and knowing what I know today, America did the right thing in Iraq." GW Bush today.

1) Supposedly, GW new before He and his neocon buddies invaded Iraq that Iraq was a dire, immmediate, immenent, threat to the USA's security becuase they were going to use WMD's on us.

2) What GW knows "now" is that Iraq has no WMD's, but maybe had one 1/2 functional program.

3) What is this "thing" GW is talking about, he must mean "Invade Iraq" or "War with Iraq".

Get used to it, the Invasion of Iraq is a "thing" now.

2. Notice the change in language
Before the war, it was all about "I", as in "I will do what it takes to keep the Homeland safe." "I will not let Saddam continue to threaten the world."

* never has used the word "we" when he feels righteous -- which seems to be most of the time.

Now that the situation's totally f*cked, suddenly it becomes "America did the right thing in Iraq." As if we were included in the decision process to go to war, which was decided before November 2000.
