[Joe] Scarborough was in disbelief over Bushs repeated blunders this week in trying to answer whether he would have invaded Iraq like his brother George W. Bush, knowing what he knows now about the results of the war.
The MSNBC host, who supported the war in 2003, asked contributor and Bloombergs Mark Halperin to pose the Iraq question to him.
No, it was a horrible idea, as bad an idea as sticking your face in a blender, whats your next question? Scarborough said, to laughter from the panel.

They invaded for reasons having absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with WMD

Therefore, if George or W think invading someplace else, killing a few hundred thousand more people, is a good idea, he will do it.

Tear up the landscaping of our former paramour's parents' home after trying and failing to break into the house in a stalker-ish kinda way?
I haven't even started to list all the crap his brother pulled!!!
I mean, really...if he can't disagree with it, it must be OK!!!

A civilian official at the Pentagon said that the military did not want any kind of attention that is unwarranted or undignified. White House press spokesman Scott McClellan said that the presidents opposition to media coverage of the returning war dead was rooted in his determination to show respect for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Look, nobody wants to see dead people on their television screens, Bush declared at his April 13 press conference. I dont like that.... Its gut wrenching. Acting on this presidential insight, the Pentagon has done its best to censor such images.

The guy said that in the White House to a woman whose son died in Iraq for no reason Bush or anyone ever gave to the American people.
The great DUer UTUSN noted the moment:

(82,849 posts)Nice to see that the waste of so many lives and so much money can be played off for laughs in certain quarters. But then, they're just following George W. Bush's lead, when he was kidding around about looking for weapons of mass destruction behind the Oval Office drapes.

(55,745 posts)No way. No how. Not gonna support unconstitutional unitary executive warmonger can't find weapons of mass destruction anywhere horsefeathers.
Of course, Bush had called off the drones to track bin Laden BEFORE 9/11.
Nothing about that, anywhere, almost, anymore.
