Bush freudian slip: 'making war is serious business'

[kpete]

Fascinating choice of words by Bush in his press conference yesterday in South Korea, as reported by the Financial Times:

Bush and Cheney hit back at criticism over Iraq

President George W.Bush, in an angry exchange at a news conference in South Korea, said he backed Mr Cheney's remarks. Looking visibly terse, and jabbing his finger at the podium several times, he denied he was accusing his opponents of being unpatriotic.

"They looked at the same intelligence I did, and they voted - many of them voted to support the decision I made. It's irresponsible to use politics....What bothers me is when people are irresponsibly using their positions and playing politics. That's exactly what is taking place in America," he said. "This is serious business making -winning this war."

So the war in Iraq is "serious business" - and more importantly, it is "making" the war, not "winning" the war, that matters. This lapse (in anger) reveals so many things about Bush.

1. That's the most honest quote ever to spill out of politician..

War is big business and business is the business of America.

2. two problems re intelligence.

First, Congresspersons and Senators did NOT look at the same intel as BushInc.

Secondly, there are serious questions about the intel that BushInc. looked at, changed, distorted, and/or manufactured.

3. As brazen as they have been in their level of corruption...

I do not believe it was a slip of any kind. "Elections have consequences", as the repigs are so fond of saying, and they are clearly making it known just how dire the consequences can be.
