So Commander Guy thinks it's funny that his lies have led to 4,226 Americans being killed needlessly. I wonder if the families of those who died, or the families of the 31,000 seriously wounded -- think it's funny?A confident George W. Bush took the podium Monday for what is likely the last press conference of his presidency, fielding a panoply of questions on the economy, President-elect Barack Obama, and what he sees as the failings of his term.
Speaking about the Administration's claim that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction -- which served as the cornerstone of the president's justification for war -- Bush laughed.
"Things didn't go according to plan, let's put it that way," Bush said with a smile, then a grimace. The WMDs touted by Bush and his advisers were never found. More than 4,200 American troops have died as a result of the invasion; the toll for Iraqi civilians is in the tens of thousands.
My only regret about that miserable son-of-a-real-bitch leaving, is that Barack Obama is not going to have his ass drawn and quartered for the crimes he's committed.
