Its worse than it appears...
Pat Robertson was indeed on CNN Paula Zahn show Tuesday. I caught all of 60 seconds - should have watched the whole thing.
Robertson, an ardent Bush supporter, said he had that conversation with the president in Nashville, Tennessee, before the March 2003 invasion. "'And I warned him about this war. I had deep misgivings about this war, deep misgivings. And I was trying to say, Mr. President, you had better prepare the American people for casualties.' Robertson said the president then told him, 'Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties.'"
Is the picture of a delusional president coming through here, stronger than ever?
Military Death and Casualty Toll:
- The U.S. military death toll almost doubled in the same six months, standing at 1,102 as of yesterday, by the Pentagon's count. On April 2 it stood at 598.
- The number of U.S. troops wounded in Iraq since military operations began in March 2003 has topped the 8,000 mark, according to figures released by the Pentagon yesterday.
And the president, so self assured, assumed zero, none, nada, pas du tout, nyet casualties?

"Even if he stumbles and messes up -- and he's had his share of stumbles and gaffes -- I just think God's blessing is on him," Robertson said.
It just gets stranger and stranger, doesn't it?
Bush talks like a stark raving lunatic and Robertson says "yer mah boy". Just another fact to make it easy to come to conclusions -- about both of them.
