Bush: War Is “Sapping Our Soul”
Bush: War Is “Sapping Our Soul”
By: Josephine Hearn
February 3, 2007 10:30 PM EST

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – President Bush told a closed-door gathering of House Democrats Saturday that the war in Iraq was “sapping our soul in some ways,” according to congressional aides who heard him.

During the private question-and-answer session, Rep. Susan Davis, D-Calif., had asked the president whether he agreed the effort in Iraq amounted to “a military at war and not a country at war,” congressional aides said.
Later, in a meeting with reporters, both Bush and House Democratic leaders sounded notes of bipartisanship. But asked whether the president had responded to Democrats’ criticism of his plan to send more troops to Iraq, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., offered a flat: “No.”

1. I suspect that the war has contaminated my precious bodily fluids.
Edited on Sat Feb-03-07 11:24 PM by Heaven and Earth
which means that the communists are involved somehow!

Bush, if the war is sapping our collective soul, that means that, by your lights, this country is going to hell for what you've done. Try explaining THAT to God!

8. God made Bush do it
He doesn't EXPLAIN to GOD, he does what God commands.

17. Judging by what he's done, it's more likely the Devil made him do it.

Those who succumb to the devil's will are destined to spend eternity in Hell.

5. a poisonous complicity and brazen betrayal
Watching the democrat saps pandering to this war criminal is a spectacle most vile. Pelosi cooing, "Still has the touch," as she rubbed elbows with this smirking rat bastard exposes a poisonous complicity in the civility, consensus, and compromise of the groveling and loyal "opposition". It hurts to be American.

Much more accurate that way, IMHO.
