A "perceptive" Bush in Canada: "I am really glad to be around friends"

I know, I know. Once you get past the initial "WTF" it gets kind of sad and pathetic.

Bush Thanks Canadians for Helping After 9/11

HALIFAX — President Bush on Wednesday offered a thank you and an olive branch to Canadians who helped Americans after Sept. 11, 2001, but were not pleased with the U.S. decision to attack Iraq.



"I am honored to be with you today to reaffirm America's enduring ties to your country," Bush said, receiving a warm round of applause. "I am really glad to be in Canada and I am really glad to be around friends."



Bush said he looks forward to a "successful working partnership between our two countries" as he heads into a second term. "I made some decisions, obviously, that some in Canada didn't agree with, like, for example, removing Saddam Hussein and enforcing the demands of the United Nations Security Council," Bush said during a press briefing with Martin. "I'm the kind of fellow who does what I think is right, and will continue to do what I think is right. I'll consult with our friends and neighbors, but if I think it's right to remove Saddam Hussein for the security of the United States, that's the course of action I'll take."



Eighty percent of Canadians support Canadian abstention from the war in Iraq. Thousands protested Bush's visit on Tuesday.

4. From cnn.com....

"Bush was greeted with warm applause and thanked the crowd for their kindness after the attacks."

Guess the warm applause was from the people inside who WANTED to see him.

For his base.

A few Canadians don't like me...just a few and it's because they don't know me.
