I'm talking about Iraq
I liked this exchange in yesterday's press conference with the president. It really demonstrates how Bush still tries to mix up Iraq and Afghanistan as if they were the same country. It still needed one more follow up Q(uestion): Didn't we kick out weapons inspectors to start the war in Iraq this time?
THE PRESIDENT: ...Helen. After that brilliant performance at the Grid Iron, I am -- (laughter.)
Q You're going to be sorry. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: Well, then, let me take it back. (Laughter.)
Q I'd like to ask you, Mr. President, your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis, wounds of Americans and Iraqis for a lifetime. Every reason given, publicly at least, has turned out not to be true. My question is, why did you really want to go to war? From the moment you stepped into the White House, from your Cabinet -- your Cabinet officers, intelligence people, and so forth -- what was your real reason? You have said it wasn't oil -- quest for oil, it hasn't been Israel, or anything else. What was it?
THE PRESIDENT: I think your premise -- in all due respect to your question and to you as a lifelong journalist -- is that -- I didn't want war. To assume I wanted war is just flat wrong, Helen, in all due respect --
Q Everything --
THE PRESIDENT: Hold on for a second, please.

What is he joking about the Grid Iron? I don't get it. It seems grossly inappropriate.
I hate how people BELIEVE that Iraq and Afghanistan are the same country. Hello! Get a clue!

Cant you kick up a revolution or something and kick him out?
nonentity~ we're tryin' to kick him out through impeachment.
Thanks for stoppin' by.
To add more fuel to the fire David Brin has some words describing the core issue is ineptitude. I think you will find this of interest.
Thirty plus years ago I was in Nam when Rumsfeld did his magic bs that is similar to what he is doing now. Brin says it much more eloquently than I. So I will let him do so.
lisa~ "if you can quote me, on the first paragraph you copied from Lam(b) that would be even cooler since that is my original writing"...
