Well, I lost whatever small piece of respect I may have been able to find for his Chimperial Highness in today's just concluded press conference.

Asked by David Gregory how, having promised a new day in the Middle East if we invaded Iraq, he can justify his policies their failure being so apparent.

Bush's answer revealed previously unplummed levels of "non" depth. In essense, "The terrorist want to do stuff to make things look bad, and they are not all that bad, but they do them so as to get people to question my policies."

In other words, anyone who disagrees with my policies, is just tool of Al Qaeda, Hezbullah, the whole thing.

Nice.

That is the leader of a so-called free people.

When the trascript is up, I'll revisit this thing but it was quite reprehensible and stupid.

Thanks to P. O'Neill here is the transcript portion I was referring to:

David Gregory: ... Mr. President, three years ago, you argued that an invasion of Iraq would create a new stage of Arab-Israeli peace. And yet today there is an Iraqi prime minister who has been sharply critical of Israel.

Arab governments, despite your arguments, who first criticized Hezbollah, have now changed their tune. Now they're sharply critical of Israel.

And despite from both of you warnings to Syria and Iran to back off support from Hezbollah, effectively, Mr. President, your words are being ignored.

QUESTION: So what has happened to America's clout in this region that you've committed yourself to transform?

BUSH: ...They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you.

And my attitude is that now's the time to be firm. And we've got a great weapon on our side, and that is freedom and liberty. And it's got -- those two concepts have got the capacity to defeat ideologies of hate.

When you ask questions about the world, it's state, or Bush's policy, you are just a dupe of the terrorists.

Unless, of course, you are not a terrorist yourself.

That's "freedom & liberty" in these United States for ya' straight from the Horses-ass's mouth.
