LONDON (Reuters) - President George W Bush admitted on Wednesday that his tough rhetoric had given the world the impression was a “guy really anxious for war” and said he now wished he had used a different tone on the global stage.
Bush voiced regret at divisions in the international community created by the war in Iraq, adding: “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric.”
He admitted that his use of phrases such as “bring them on” and “dead or alive” had “indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace.”
FROM CRAIG:
Dear Failure in Chief
This story on your alleged “regret” for tough guy talk on Iraqnam seems to be a little late at this point doesn’t it?
If you had half the brains that Allah gave a sea slug you’d regret the fact that you demanded intelligence agencies produce data that fit your preconceived notion of reality so you could illegally invade and occupy a nation that never ONCE posed a threat to the United States.
Instead you and Dick “The Shit I Took Yesterday” Cheney demanded that the books be cooked so you could act like a tough guy. Now, more than 4,000 dead American kids and untotalled billions of dollars later you “regret” your talking tough before leading us to war. You have failed at every god damned thing you have attempted in during the more than 60 years of your wretched existence. You thought if you acted tough on this sure thing “victory” in Iraqnam you’d redeem yourself. Tell that to the more than 4,000 American mothers out there whose son or daughter will never sit at a Thanksgiving dinner table again because of your “regret.”
Fuck you and your regret, asshole. The real regret should come from Faux News and the rest of the conservative-biased media who believed you rather than doing their jobs. Now we are a nation laughed at on the world stage. Our economic might has been reduced to rubble and our economy stinks. But the Failure in Chief feels “regret.”
Heckuva job, asshole.
