Bush: Iraqi has a "government that has still got some maturation to do"

[hadrons]

(CBS/AP) President Bush said Tuesday the unruly execution of Saddam Hussein "looked like it was kind of a revenge killing," making it harder to persuade a skeptical U.S. public that Iraq's government will keep promises central to Bush's plan for a troop increase.

....

Mr. Bush said he had expressed his displeasure about the way Saddam's execution was handled to al-Maliki. The president announced what he called a new strategy for the war last week, with much of it hinging on his trust in al-Maliki's government to make radical changes.

"It basically says to people, 'Look, you conducted a trial and gave Saddam justice that he didn't give to others. But then, when it came to execute him, it looked like it was kind of a revenge killing,"' the president said.

"It makes it harder for me to make the case to the American people that this is a government that does want to unify the country and move forward," Mr. Bush said. "And it just goes to show that this is a government that has still got some maturation to do."

2. Ooh, I misread the lead-in:

In 'maturation,' I read an 's' after the first 'a' and a 'b' after the 'r.' And it fit so perfectly, too. ;-)

Mature + Bush is an oxymoron of cosmic proportions.

5. He actually called Iraq a "young society" last week..

Really? Is that why the area is called "The Cradle Of Civilization".

Give it up, chimp. You are a complete fucking idiot.

6. Ghee

You'd think all the talk of winning for 3 years with zero positive results is kinda making it hard for Bush to sell the same crap to the American people. He folks it's the same plan + 20,000 troops.
