Bubble Boy
President Bush's insistence that he doesn't live in a bubble would be a lot more convincing if he didn't also say this on the same day:
And knowing what I know today, I'd make the decision [to invade Iraq] again. Removing Saddam Hussein makes this world a better place and America a safer country.
Unless the president is, in fact, living in a bubble, and the bubble happens to be on some distant planet, he certainly must know that Saddam Hussein had exactly zero WMDs, had no connection to al Qaeda, and had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11.
And it's hard to argue that America is safer today when we're generating terrorists in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East faster than we're recruiting fresh US troops.
A statement like that could coax Ted Koppel out of retirement, just so he could burst Bush's bubble like he pierced Mike Dukakis' heart in 1988, with this polite pin-prick: "With all due respect, let me suggest to you, I still don't think you get it."
Pop. SSSSSSSSsssssssssssss.........

Bush's inability to see reality and admit error is symptomatic of a sociopath.
He's so not right and delusional -- I really wonder how Pickles remains married to him?

That was an amazing statement wasnt it? But he really has no choice- it would be tantamount to saying he was wrong to invade Iraq if he said he wouldnt do the same thing again and since this is an administration with no ethics and no sense of accountability for its actions, he would never do that, now would he?
He is so insulated from his own decisions and actions he can't see what a damning statement that is. And because the media dont ask the obvious follow ups or bombard him with his own previous statements and contradictions, he can get away with it.
