Hey, neat idea. Maybe next time they can show Bush in a mass grave holding one of the skulls

"Alas poor Yorick, I knew thee well, ..where those pesky WMDs are, I surely cannot tell..."

It's not making light of those who died, it's making light of the fact that no WMDs have been found yet.

Anyone who has a problem with this needs to lighten up.

GePap and I have different politics, but at least he has the sense to admit this is a non-story.

This thread just goes to show that most here who oppose Bush are like Pavlov's dogs and will bark at anything he does. Take a look at yourselves people. Your hatred is making you irrational.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

That would be rabid dogs.

At first I didn't really care, even thought it was a little funny. But thn I realized, it was making light of the deaths of all those people who've died. Rather unpresidential, but that's what I've come to expect from this President.

How is he making light of the deaths? Since the admin. has long since moved to the liberation notion of the war, what he is making fun of is the inability to back up a pirmary claim before the war-which is thus making fun of himself.

The only thing he can be accused of with regards to this is not being funny.

Yeah, that would apply too. I guess I meant Pavlov's dogs if he had conditioned them to bark at Bush.

Mental picture of irrational salivating dogs = rabid dogs.

if this joke is some form of accepting his error on WMD's(e.g. he started a war while either lieing to the american people(he knew there were no WMD and still said so) or not knowing what he was takling about(he wasnt sure but still went ahead)) he should have the decency to (at least) not run in the next elections instead of making jokes about it.

Possibly, but how do you expect us to behave in the face of Bush's irrationality?

The difference is, we don't have our fingers on the nuclear button.

I don't think that's the case. He probably is just joking about the fact that the situation made him look foolish - not that the situation was his fault.

I expect no decency from this WH. There are dozens of things for which I hate this admin. BUt I would have to make a list 10,000 things long for this even to perhaps come up. This is a non-issue. Why waste time and space discussing this?

Why not discuss the massive cuts to the section 8 subsidized housing program?

He is irrational so you should be too?

Naah, He was doing his best Hans Blix impersonation.
