Just in case you were wondering what a moron would say about the war in Iraq…
President Bush today said mistakes were made in planning for the Iraq invasion, but he defended the troop level he ordered in the initial strike, saying he would have committed the same number if given a second chance.
Recalling his pre-war conversations with Gen. Tommy Franks, who led the invasion and is now retired, Bush told a business group in Irvine, Calif.: “The level that he suggested was the troop level necessary to do the job, and I support it strongly.” […]
Asked if he would have invaded Iraq, knowing what he knows now, Bush said: “We’re constantly adjusting on the ground to meet an enemy which changes. But on the big decisions of sending the troops in, I’d have done it again.”
Which proves that Bush is likely the most fabulously stupid human being to ever occupy any public office, municipal or federal, in the history of the United States. Quite a distinction. I’d equate his line of reasoning to shoving your arm into a running wood chipper to grab the cigarette you thought you dropped in the hopper and then declaring that it wasn’t such a bad idea after all, since it was your last smoke. Furthermore, even after learning that the cigarette was actually a lollypop that you dropped next to the wood chipper, you say that you would proudly use the same strategy the next time, because smoking makes you look cool and you still have one arm left. The profound inanity of it all would be hilarious if it weren’t for all of the dead people, maimed bodies, war orphans, tortured prisoners and mothers and fathers who have to bury their children.
