Bush: We’ll Be in Iraq for 40 Years, Hamas Election Was “Good Thing”


When NBC News correspondent Richard Engel sat down with President Bush last year for an interview, he had little idea how much Bush would reveal about his true intentions and his real sentiments about the war on terror and America’s allies and enemies.

Among the excerpts of the interview captured in Engel’s new book, “War Journal: My Five Years in Iraq”:

- “‘This is the great war of our times. It is going to take forty years,’” {Bush told Engel}. “Bush said in forty years the world would know if the war on terrorism, and conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, had reduced extremism, helped moderates, and promoted democracy.”

- Bush admits to Engel that going to war was a decision based on his personal instinct and not on any long-range strategy for the Mideast:

“I know people are saying we should have left things the way they were, but I changed after 9/11. I had to act. I don’t care if it created more enemies. I had to act.”

1. God Damn him to hell for all time...

“I know people are saying we should have left things the way they were, but I changed after 9/11. I had to act. I don’t care if it created more enemies. I had to act.” God Damn him for that...:mad:

2. 40 yrs? That proves McCain is different from Bush.

John McCain said 100 years.

4. Yes a difference of about 60 years.

3. Eventually, we will find out that the Iraq invasion/occupation was planned well before 9/11.

The evidence will be found in Cheney's secret energy task force meetings that commenced shortly after this junta stole the 2000 election. Can we can this a war crime, then?

5. I believe he created about 200 million enemies very close to home

not counting those beyond our borders.

6. He probably just got mixed up again:

he really meant that he'll be in prison for 40 years.

7. Did Bushler slip up because he WAS drugged to the eyeballs on prescription drugs,

or because he wasn't?

In either case, this interview was last year and, naturally the Toady Media made sure no one heard about it.

After all, Bushler saying we'll be in Iraq 40 years and that he just plunged us into war with no startegy, why that's not newsworthy!

:sarcasm: :puke:

Just how low has our nation sunk? Not as low as it is going to.

8. And you did. Foolishly.

In every aspect of the eight years you've been Pretender-In-Chief. Failures as far as the eye can see, and for as long as the stomach can stand the repellant nausea.

You're nothing but an act Dubya. And a poor, dangerous and stale one at that.

May history judge you precisely.

9. No we won't!

We're gonna elect a democrat, bitch!
