Dangerously dumb
Posted 3:40 pm


I don’t want to alarm anyone, but at times, the president appears to be dangerously dumb. Consider this exchange, for example, from this morning’s press conference.

Q: Mr. President, moments ago you said that al Qaeda attacked us before we were in Iraq. Since then Iraq has become much less stable; al Qaeda has used it as a recruiting tool, apparently with some success. So what would you say to those who would argue that what we’ve done in Iraq has simply enhanced al Qaeda and made the situation worse?

BUSH: Oh, so, in other words, the option would have been just let Saddam Hussein stay there? Your question is, should we not have left Saddam Hussein in power? And the answer is, absolutely not. Saddam Hussein was an enemy of the United States. He’d attacked his neighbors. He was paying Palestinian suicide bombers. He would have been — if he were to defy — and by the way, cheating on the U.N. oil for sanctions program — oil-for-food program. No, I don’t buy it. I don’t buy that this world would be a better place with Saddam Hussein in power, and particularly if — and I’m sure the Iraqis would agree with that.

Given the president’s small and confused worldview, he’s simply unable to answer the question. By any reasonable measure, Bush’s policies have made an awful situation tragic. We invaded Iraq in part because it was a destabilizing force in the Middle East, and we made it and its region less stable. Al Qaeda is getting stronger, not weaker. Terrorist attacks are going up, not down. Casualty rates are increasing, not decreasing.

Confronted with this fairly obvious and straightforward reality, Bush offers a forceful response: Saddam Hussein was a bad guy.

It’s like having a foreign policy argument with a six-year-old.

1. When I heard that Gagged, but then I gagged many times during

his press conference. " It's a sovereign nation" he said more than once. Yeah, and it was when you invaded it you ass.

2. No, not a six-year-old

Six-year-olds are much smarter than that.

Maybe a four-year-old. :shrug:
