I've been saying on these boards for some time now that Bush has destabilized Iraq. As a result, numerous Freepers have hurled all manner of abuse and called me a Democratic troll.

Now Bush himself comes out and says the same thing. Too funny.

I trust now that you'll all be directing your flames in his direction for daring to suggest such a thing.

Actually, Bush just went way up in my estimation with this admission. It's the truth and by admitting it he's showing that he's a man of some integrity and not one to spin or deny harsh realities. Kudos to the President.

Boy that lovable Saddam, heh he kept it stable because people were too afraid to live because if they offended him or his sons or their ilk, they were dropped into plastic shredders. Yeah, it was much better then.

And you would've preferred a nice, stable Iraq with Saddam ready to re-start his nuke program as soon as the oil-for-food sanctions were lifted.

That's just plain ol' crazy thinking!
