BUSH WUSSES OUT BIG TIME ...now?

Ugh. Have you seen the interview Bush gave to The London Times apologizing for defending America from the violent jihad? It is pathetic.

Bush regrets his legacy as a "man who wanted war"? Memo to Bush: it was not your legacy, it was al qaeda and company's legacy. Not aggressively defending ourselves is a moral depravity. Apologizing for defending this great nation is morally bankrupt. It was not Bush who wanted war, he was reading Goodnight Moon to a bunch of kindergartners in Sunny Florida (no, not Sunshine Florida, Obambi), remember? It was Islamic jihad that wanted war, they took out the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and attempted to take out the Capital building and/or White House.

Memo to Bush: STFU.

President Bush regrets his legacy as man who wanted war

President Bush has admitted to The Times that his gun-slinging rhetoric made the world believe that he was a “guy really anxious for war” in Iraq. He said that his aim now was to leave his successor a legacy of international diplomacy for tackling Iran.

In an exclusive interview, he expressed regret at the bitter divisions over the war and said that he was troubled about how his country had been misunderstood. “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric.”

Phrases such as “bring them on” or “dead or alive”, he said, “indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace”. He said that he found it very painful “to put youngsters in harm’s way”.

His finest hour!

He added: “I try to meet with as many of the families as I can. And I have an obligation to comfort and console as best as I possibly can. I also have an obligation to make sure that those lives were not lost in vain.”

The unilateralism that marked his first White House term has been replaced by an enthusiasm for tough multilateralism.

"Tough multilateralism"? WTF. Thats's the most moronic oxymoron I have heard this week and that's hard with the lunatic lefties and Obamaniacals.

He said that his focus for his final six months in office was to secure agreement on issues such as establishing a Palestinian state and to “leave behind a series of structures that makes it easier for the next president”.

Bush's second term has been an abject failure and an enormous disappointment for freedom loving peoples. Freedom ain't free and with this admission of weakness, he serves to empower the global jihad.

A terror state in the heart of the Middle East? That's what he wants to focus on in his last six months? G-d help us all.

UPDATE: Greenwald thinks this is the worst possible time to cave. Read him at Contentions here.

President Bush could not have picked a worse time to decide to soften his image. As Iran barrels towards full nuclear capability and as positive developments in the War on Terror shine a favorable light on the Bush Doctrine, we find the President at his most cuddly and contrite.

[...]

Here is the problem. Talking about talking is not effective diplomacy. Talking about bombing is effective diplomacy. We’ve reached a funny point in world history when the toughest thing a western leader is permitted to say about a potential nuclear menace is that “all options are on the table.” Let’s hope that what appears to be a kinder, gentler, and frankly weaker approach to Iran is just the President crossing his T’s and dotting his I’s before making the hardest decision a statesman can make. If the only thing standing between us and a nuclear Iran is a “multilateral framework” of European “considerations,” Bush’s legacy will bear the stain of something far more damning than excessive verbal bluster.

Read it all.

UPDATE: A weak Bush empowers the poison pygmy.

cant we use bush to bomb the kabbah with ....perhaps he could have a staring constest with the saudi king? ....I dont know maybe he could be obamanations propoganda minister?

[TexasFred]

Be careful Pam, there are those out there that still worship at the Altar of the Bush Bot and they WILL blast you for saying anything against their hero...

[Ripper]

Bush became such a 'nancy boy' his second term. Why explain yourself to our anti Semitic, anti American, Eurotrash "friends"?
What a disappointment he is! One thing, I nobody should question that the Bush family is not, and never were - conservatives.

[Thomas Carney]

Ripper, you're right. Both Bushes were horrible disappointments. Bush 41 let Saddam go free the first time around, and enforcing the BS "No-fly zones" cost the US taxpayer over $80 billion a year. Now he wants to the Europeans' and the Islamoterrorists' buddy.

W. has no balls.

TexasFred: Give it a break. W.'s a lame duck, and he he's a hen, not a drake.

Is it possible that the G.O.P. Establishment would have the arrogance to foist Jeb Bush on us in 2012 (assuming Obamamessiah in a worst case scenario actually wins in November) just as they foisted GHW Bush, Bob Dole, and now John McCain on us in past years?

[Ripper]

I should have of course have added George W. Bush to the list of incompetents the GOP Establishment anointed as Presidential candidates.

[RISE_UP]

When I voted for George Bush, I had no choice.Being John F*** Kerry was the alternative. I still believe at the time it was right. But as time went on...GWB gave way to the ROP and said and did unbelievable things. I thought I could not be shocked anymore. But this is the deal buster. AND...one thing to consider..if he is saying that bs is he opening the door to be impeached? Sounds like he is making a guilty plea. God help us all. (that s***t won't help McCain at all)

[RISE_UP]

NO NO NO not god bless America ...GD GWB

Hi Pamela,

I am currently on a brief visit in Germany. You have no idea how vile and hysterical the left here drums up hatred of Bush and the US. Totally, absolutely unhinged. Insane, beyond reason, fanatically stoopid.

Especially the creeps from former socialist governments come back from under their rocks and step onto the scene, like Genscher, Schroeder, Trittin (Red-Green-commie-swine) There is no longer any kind of reporting facts; every POS in the media is stewing in his own bias and prejudice against the US.

Its an alternative reality.

But here's the good NEWS:

The creepy imam of Cairns who was suing Sheik Yer'mami for discrimination (because the publication on the Winds of Jihad-site stopped the building of a mosque in a quite street at least for the time-being) has dropped all charges of his malicious, frivolous lawsuit.

Power to the people! Down with Islam, down with the Islamofascists!

[Pamela Geller]

sheik yer tail feather!

[jusa]

I must be Nostradamus. I envisioned this when Dubya was in Israel and asked why didn't anyone do something like bomb Auschwitz. Well he just demonstrated how someone doesn't do anything.
I wonder if that's the same sheik yer mami that I saw on Topix before. I haven't been to that cesspool in months(maybe even a year!). I actually think a few newspapers have delinked from that unmitigated nightmare.

Thomas R. Marshall said of his death "Death had to take Roosevelt sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight."

Dear Pamela;
Teddy Roosevelt is spinning in his grave like a frigging top. What a big sissy George W. is turning out to be. To hell with the sniveling dolts of Europe. They can kiss my American buttocks.
What a sorry excuse for a Texan he has turned out to be. He has squandered the legacy of William Travis, Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, et al.

And for the millionth time. You cannot negotiate with people who want you, and your kind d-e-a-d, dead! You cannot reason with people who want to die, while they are trying to kill you. Every time one of those maniacal Islamic wood pussies hear some pol talking about sanctions, negotiations, diplomacy, or peace talks, I'll bet you they roll around on the floor, peeing their pants, laughing.
And then there is Laura Bush. This goof ball, last week I believe, was making excuses, and apologizing for Osama Obama's old lady who said she's never been proud of America. I'm thinking that maybe C. Rice is a little like Typhoid Mary. She is spreading this disease around the White House.
(Condi-mentia?) You know like Dementia? Get it? Hey! At least I'm trying. And that reminds me. You know that Lou Gehrig died from Lou Gehrig Disease. Now seriously. What are the chances of that happening?
Getting back to Bush. What "youngsters" is this guy talking about? Is he saying that our Rangers, and Paratroopers, and Frogmen are only like eight; or ten; or twelve years old? I thought that our warriors were lean; mean; fighting machines. The baddest, toughest, most well trained, well equipped military the world has ever known. Oh! You know what? Maybe he's talking about the lovable terrorist over in southwest Asia who strap bombs to fourteen year old boys, and use ten year old girls as human shields. You know those sweetheart, I haven't taken a bath in six months, and I'm proud of it, Muslims whose feelings Bush doesn't want to hurt by calling them what they really are?
(e.g. Thugs; murderers; jihadist; cold blooded infidel hating bastards?)
Finally; because I'm getting tired of typing. What THE HELL IS tough multilateralism? That's not even a real word, is it?
All right. I think I'm going to crawl under my bed, and take a nap.
Sincerely;
EJO

Between the tragic events of 9-11 and the avalance of anti-Americanism that erupted worldwide after the US-led invasion of Iraq, it is highly probable that Bush had a mental breakdown.

His biggest jistake was not letting Cheney take over for him.

[sheik yer'mami]

jusa,

I have never posted anything on Topix. Must be an impostor.

[Thomas Carney]

Ripper, I hope the GOP does not try to foist another danmed Bush on us. Bush 41 was a pussy, and his son is another gutless wonder, just like Bill Clinton. I am so sick of the GOP foisting pansies on the rank-and-file Republicans....

Rise Up: I voted for Bush both times, too, because I had no choice. Kerry would have been a much worse president than that moron Gore... but dang, is this the best the GOP can do???

Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt and Winston Churchill must be spinning in their graves.

W. lost his balls. He should have never apologized for doing what he did.

Real leaders don't worry about their legacies. Real leaders do the right things, and legacies be danmed!!!

[jusa]

n/m, must've been a similar name or something.
tough multinationalism. Must be present day Daffy Duck saying disestablishmentarianism.

[Malebranche]

Sad grunts smeared in blood on the cave wall. Everyone is your enemy; 'pansies', Europeans, Democrats, ...gasp...even your creature Bush. There is a reason you are on the defensive. The world is sick to death of the posturing, the chest thumping, the medieval mindset the commenters here represent. I see no evidence of strength, just insecurity. It is delightful watching Republican power wane. Get used to it, there is a lot more down left to go.

Curious: how many of you have actually read Ayn Rand. I'm willing to bet not many.
