Bush's fault!
AS if he said something we already didn't know. Putin, the small man complex guy, did everyone a favor.
Looks like the "trick' may have backfired on Putin.
Why would I consider the open mike thing a gaffe?
The proof is that "he was grinning about something." Mighty weak.
Big deal. The open mike gaff is small potatoes. Putin is ex-KGB. By definition, he operates on a hidden agenda. He may even exist in another dimension entirely. Putin helped smuggle Saddam's WMD to Syria just before we invaded Iraq. Most of these weapons are now hidden near Damascus. Some are reportedly buried in Lebanon. Our failure to find the WMD are the key to all of Bush's problems. And caused the Democrats to coin the popular phrase, "Bush lied and people died." Personally, I hope the Israelis find them in the Bekkaa Valley. Hope they show them on live television. Check my FR page for important links on Saddam's WMD if you are interested.
It's the chomping on a piece of bread that peeves me off. It shoulda been beef jerky or steak, stop the carbos Mr. President, the rest is OK!
My only concern with the "open mike" was that Bush could have been overheard making a much stronger statement, such as "if those Islamo-fascist scumbags don't toe the line RIGHT NOW it's time to go Roman on their asses!"
I'm really starting to think we've got to look at the bastions of Islamo-fascism the way Cato looked at Carthage, an abomination to be destroyed, nothing less.
Syria delenda est
Iran delenda est
...... had enough yet, you medieval fascist fanatics???
Whoever did it, Bush should thank him.
It gave us a chance to see that Bush's instincts are in the right place.
