I freed millions from barbarism, says President with no regrets

[DogPoundPup]

Lil Bush stoned in his usual arrogant delusions. Or does he mean freed them to death? See excerpts from guardian.co.uk The Observer below.


President Bush flies into London today for the last time as US leader. In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with Ned Temko on the eve of his visit, he defends his legacy, issues a stern warning to Iran ... and reveals his plans for a freedom institute devoted to 'universal values'

He may be on his way out next January, conceivably to be replaced by a Democratic candidate fiercely critical of his foreign-policy approach. But Rome's closed thoroughfares, the small army of secret-service agents and the motorcade waiting to speed Bush to a meeting with the Pope after the Observer interview offered a reminder that he still holds the most powerful political office in the world. Bush has no regrets about how he has used that power. Asked what he thinks his legacy might be, he says he is happy to await the verdict of history. But he cannot resist also offering his own, suggesting 'the liberation of 50 million people from the clutches of barbaric regimes is noteworthy, at a minimum'.

Asked in the Rome interview about popular opposition in Britain to the war and his presidency, he replied: 'Do I care? Only to the extent that it affects people's view of the citizens I represent. Do I care about my personal standing? Not really.'

He remained, he said, convinced that Iraq, and the world, was a better place without Saddam Hussein. And he said that while 'Presidents don't get to do re-dos' on issues such as Saddam's lack of weapons of mass destruction, there was one lesson from the run-up to the Iraq war that he felt was hugely relevant to the standoff in Iran.

'We didn't realise, nor did anyone else,' Bush said, 'that Saddam Hussein felt like he needed to play like he had weapons of mass destruction. It may have been, however, that in his mind all this was just a bluff ... that the world wasn't serious.'

This statement "'We didn't realise, nor did anyone else,' Bush said, 'that Saddam Hussein felt like he needed to play like he had weapons of mass destruction. It may have been, however, that in his mind all this was just a bluff ... that the world wasn't serious.'" always pisses me off.

3. Can never put it past him to be there when another national tragedy strikes from nowhere,

at a timely moment, to declare martial law, and stay right in the White House he stole.

We can't say he's going until we see it for ourselves.

4. "Do I care?" "Not really"

this must be the most common phrase spoken by this idiot over his lifetime. What a goddamn fucking psychopath. He is just the textbook definition of a psychopath. Why haven't the White House doctors had him committed?
