Bush 'I was disgraced by photos.....'
From Denver Post article published 5-14.

Washington - The No. 2 military and civilian officials at the Pentagon indicated that interrogation techniques ordered in Iraq violated the Geneva Conventions and said they did not know who approved them.

Marine Gen. Peter Pace and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said they were unaware of any U.S. military rules for interrogating prisoners that would allow them to be put in stressful positions, deprived of sleep for up to 72 hours, threatened with dogs or kept in isolation for more than 30 days.

Their statements came on the same day that a campaigning President Bush told an audience in West Virginia that "I have been disgraced" by scenes of American soldiers brutalizing Iraqi prisoners.

....

(and this Rumsfeld statement HAS to be read again)

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Wednesday had defended the techniques, rejecting complaints that they violate international rules. Rumsfeld said Pentagon lawyers had approved the methods and said they required that prisoners be treated humanely at all times.

1. The entire country has been "disgraced" by these Idiots!

He will really be "disgraced" if the truth about what Generals Boykin and Miller's missions were ever really gets out! Bush Knew I'd bet money on it! I'll bet KKKarl was telling Bush to turn the screws for political reasons!

4. "I was disgraced by the inhumanity. . .
that was incited by my stupid, simplistic, dualistic, and uninformed rhetoric inspired. At least Jesus still loves me."

6. Who wants to bet he meant to say "I have been disgusted..."
Likely, he meant one thing, and said something even stupider.

I'll bet it's just another f'd-up Bushism...
