"I've learned that sending troops into battle is the hardest decision
ever made, even when it is right."

Bush's new ad playing on Hardball right now.

Now, think about his words.

Chimpy actually said that.

1. Yup. I busted up waiting for the next line:
"sending troops into battle is the hardest decision ever made, even when it is right. So imagine how I feel."

2. HA!
1. He didn't know beforehand that this is the most difficult/important decision a president makes?
2. Supposing Bush were right (bear with me), I still can't imagine him having feelings.

3. What a flaming asshole he is.
I'm still appalled that anyone could believe this guy after all the proof to the contrary. I don't believe a damn thing that comes out of his mouth, never have, never will.

4. While volumes upon volumes of information have proven * WRONG, he still
has the nerve to say 'even when it is right'?!

Compassionate 'culture of life' conservative my ass.

executed in Texas, not much at all. :evilfrown:

7. I've LEARNED?!
So he was completely unaware that sending men to their deaths is a hard decision?

To be fair to him, his defintion of "learned" has already been proven to be unusual: according to him, British intelligence had "learned" that Saddam had been seeking uranium from Africa.
