Did you hear about this one? A comma...now we have caused thousands of dead people for a hystorical comma...this man is an imbecil... Al ========================================================= Bush dismisses bloodshed in Iraq as ‘just a comma’ By: John Amato on Sunday, September 24th, 2006 at 1:42 PM - PDT BLITZER: Let’s move on and talk a little bit about Iraq. Because this is a huge, huge issue, as you know, for the American public, a lot of concern that perhaps they are on the verge of a civil war–if not already a civil war–We see these horrible bodies showing up, tortured, mutilation. The Shia and the Sunni, the Iranians apparently having a negative role. Of course, al Qaeda in Iraq is still operating. BUSH: Yes, you see — you see it on TV, and that’s the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there’s also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy. (emphasis added) This is an appalling statement to make. With a civil war full of Iraqi bloodshed and over 20,000 of our men and women killed or wounded since the war started–one would think this might matter more than a simple pause. Apparently, it doesn’t.
