O.K., K.C. says George has learned alot in his four year crash course.
Let's see. Here are some pearls of wisdom from our Commander in Chief on Foreign Affairs and Defense:
"Well, I... I ah.... I understand that the unrest in the Middle East creates unrest throughout the region." :rolleyes:
"The ambassador and the general were briefing me on... the vast majority of Iraqi's want to live in a peaceful, free world, and we will find these people and we will bring them to justice."
"I think war is a dangerous place."
(On Op. Iraqi Freedom) "It'll take time to restore chaos."
"I can't imagine somebody like Osama Bin Laden understanding the joy of Hannukah." (Yeah, it's almost like he's from a whole other CULTURE, or something! )
"Nobody can threaten this country. Oh, they may be able to bomb a building..."
"This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating."
(To Brazil Pres. Fernando Cardosa) "Do you have blacks, too?"
"I think the intelligy I get is darn good intelligence."
"...at the same time work toward the embetterment of the Palestinian people."
"...the responses have got to end in order for us to get the... the frame... the groundwork, not the framework, the groundwork to discuss a framework for peace... to lay the... alright...."
"The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein, and his willingness to terrorize himself."
"And in Iraq, we ended the rule of one of history's worse tyrants, and in so doing, we not only freed the American people but we made our own people more secure." (Do you think that by "our own people" he might be referring to Halliburton and the Saudis? :p )
(In Japan 2-18-02) "For a century and a half, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times." (Yeah, except for that little hiccup between Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima/Nagasaki!)
And my all time favorite "Bushism" on foreign policy:
"It's an interest of long term peace in this world that we work for a free and secure and peaceful Iraq; A PEEANCE FREEANCE SECURE IRAQ in the midst of the Middle East."
