How gaffes are, and aren't analysed

[pecunium]

George Bush just said the troops aren't Americans.

Now, I don't think he meant that, any more than Kerry meant they were stupid, but he said it more clearly than Kerry did.

He's giving a press conference and he said that the first audience (for statements about the war, from the Oval Office, and from Capitol Hill) was the American People, and the second audience was the troops, and their families.

I think I can say no one is going to treat him to the same sort of roasting that Kerry got, or to that Biden got, or that any Democrat gets, when such clumsy locutions get used.

That's probably because we have a liberal media that won't cut the Republicans, esp. the president, any slack.

he also said- "US troops are counting on Congress to provide them the funds they need to win."

Ya right- didn't we win when we removed the Saddam regime and disbanded his army?

What is it we will win?

More needless troop deaths

The troops counted on the Republican controlled Congress and Rummy to make sure things like armoured Humvies, body armour and other things were provided to keep them safe....we know that didn't happen.

Where are them Dems telling us that Bush is full of crap- we know where the money will go...in the past few weeks stories and investigations have disclosed how our tax dollars have made the rich richer and pissed away at the expense of the troops.

I am particularly fond of how this administration has consistently shifted the onus for the fiasco that is Iraq onto everyone but themselves. They seem oblivious to the fact that we all now know that the reasons for going into Iraq were bogus. It reminds me of a statement another man I despise said once, something about if you tell a lie enough times...?
