Does Bush Really ''Grieve For Every Death''?

[arwalden]

Does it really break his heart?

"I grieve for every death," Bush said. "It breaks my heart to think about a family weeping over the loss of a loved one. I understand the anguish that some feel about the death that takes place."

1. "Now watch this drive"

[SunDrop23]

21. He equates the military to those plastic soldiers we played with

as kids.

So they break, big deal, we can buy more.

2. I selected 'thinks' he does....

He's a certified cocaine addict, so he doesn't have any clue about how the deaths of soldiers he's not even connected to really affect him.

If it was his own family, he would probably be devastated. Outside people he has barely even heard of, not really.

[Crunchy Frog]

3. Grieve?

He probably whacks off to them.

[Hubert Flottz]

4. Bush is a soulless ass!

His "GRIEF" is just another political prop being used by the studio statesman!

EDIT:::"understand the anguish" How does he "understand" until he goes through it? He lied to start the war and he lied again about his "grief"! If he's talking, he's lying!

[arwalden]

7. I Agree Completely...

... his statements are obviously SCRIPTED and are not based on any real emotion of his own.

Even the casual observer can easily tell that his words are rife with banal platitudes. His insipid comments are rote and recited without any feeling and without any understanding of their meaning.

It's yet another in an endless string of "stump speeches" that someone has written for him and that he's memorized. For him it's just words to be spoken aloud, but which have no true meaning for him.

5. I would hope he feels guilty about them.

But he is too insensitive to do that.

[CoffeeCat]

6. Oh please...

The man grieves about as much as a ping-pong ball.

He's clearly a sociopath, with no feelings about anything.

He intentionally lied to take these soldiers to war. He knows they are there only for the delight of the war-party neocons. These soldiers are objects to him.

You can't grieve for people that you send to the death chamber for your own selfish causes that are based on lies.

8. Hey..

.... if you want to make an omelette, you have to break some eggs.

So what if it is a dog-crap omelette that is of no benefit to anyone, the dictatortot cannot think that deep.

[Fridays Child]

9. Sociopaths are incapable of feeling grief for anyone but themselves.

For you, for me, he feels nothing.

[GCP]

10. Sociopaths have no conscience

He's incapable of feeling grief or the belief that he's wrong.

[charlie]

11. Breaks his what?

The only thing this touchy-feely weepy shit is breaking is his balls. He's probably kicking the crap out of Karl for not arranging a runaway semi to squash Camp Casey the day they showed up.

[chelsea0011]

12. Front page of NYT today. Is that a group in grief.

I wish I could link and image for you, but I have no skills.

[Liberal Veteran]

13. Sociopaths are quite capable of feigning emotions and empathy.

That's about as far as it goes. Bush doesn't really strike me as man with true empathy.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

14. His only regret is having to fake grief.

It's hard work.

:grr:

[Robeson]

15. From the votes, it looks like 2 freepers are monitoring this thread.

[libhill]

22. I was wondering about that too -

but they'll give themselves away when they make the usual idiotic remark about Clinton - the dumb fucks can't resist it - hee hee

[arwalden]

26. I Think...

... that it's a mixture of REAL lurking freepers along with a couple of yuk-yuk's who like to kid around and answer poll questions *as though* they were freepers. (You know... they like to to throw off the poll results and see how many people bother to post messages commenting on the results.)

:hi:

[libhill]

28. Could be this is true -

When I post on a thread that has freeptard type responses, I like to think that my responses will throw 'em into a frothing maniacal fit. But, as you said, probably just "yuk yuk's". Dang it, ya spoiled my fun. :(

[DanCa]

16. No he keeps injuring that side of his brain

every time he falls of his bicycle.

[magellan]

17. Words, words, nothing but hollow words

Deeds make the man. And this man's deeds make him a heartless liar and cold-blooded murderer.

[abluelady]

19. And Actions Speak Louder Than Words

His actions in the past show nothing and the fact that he can't give Cindy an hour speaks for the present. Perhaps an impeachment will come down and he will have no future as our president.:applause:

[libhill]

25. Nah -

can't impeach on grounds as insignificant as lying to get us into a war, or outing a C.I.A. agent, or callousness toward a bereaved mother. He'd have to do something awful like getting a blow job. Oh, the horror!

[abluelady]

32. Think We Could Get A Volunteer?

[GOPisEvil]

18. Hell no. He can't even fake grief well.

[arwalden]

20. It's such a pathetic and transparent attempt at feigning grief...

... I have to wonder why so many people appear to be buying it.

[ladjf]

23. Sociopaths are incapable of grief for others.

[benburch]

24. Grieve????!

He WASHES in the blood of dead Americans. He DRINKS the blood of dead Americans. He worships the god of death.

[The Magistrate]

27. Absolutely Not, Mr. Arwalden

The reptile does not recognize the reality of any living creature but himself....

[davidinalameda]

29. not only no

but hell fucking no!

[Solly Mack]

30. those deaths don't register with him...his speech writer is the only

reason he ever mentions soldiers dying.

[clover]

31. perhaps he does grieve: who cares? where are his actions in response? nt

[evilqueen]

33. This is key

"I understand the anguish that some feel about the death that takes place."

Obviously he doesn't feel anguish over deaths caused by these wars he chose to engage in (Iraq, at least, on the basis of a pack of lies).

Lying does not make him uncomfortable, nor does it give him a guilty conscience nor any discomfort at all.

Anguish is not something one UNDERSTANDs it is something one FEELS.

[gulliver]

34. Yeah. He has grieved 1,840+ times. I wish someone ...

... would ask him how many have died while he has been on vacation.
