Bush 'parting shot':Democrats send MIXED SIGNALS to our troops & the enemy

President Bush, heading to Asia with hopes of improving his image on the world stage, hurled a parting shot at Iraq war critics on Monday, accusing some Democrats of "sending mixed signals to our troops and the enemy."

"That is irresponsible," Bush said in prepared remarks he planned to deliver to U.S. forces during a refueling stop in Alaska. Excerpts from the remarks were released by the White House as Bush flew to Elemendorf Air Force Base on the initial leg of an eight-day journey to Japan, South Korea, China and Mongolia.

"Reasonable people can disagree about the conduct of the war, but it is irresponsible for Democrats to now claim that we misled them and the American people," Bush said in his prepared remarks.

"Only one person manipulated evidence and misled the world — and that person was Saddam Hussein," Bush added.

5. who's idea was this?
Who thought "Attack those who agree with a majority of Americans" was a good strategy for the week?

"Only one person manipulated evidence and misled the world — and that person was Saddam Hussein," Bush added.

This is logically similar to "I am not a crook."

17. They're trying to shore up their tiny remaining base. They've never
reached out to the majority of Americans.

6. It's better than his message - "Die for nothing in the wrong country"
What a pathetic excuse for a leader. The man who can admit no wrong. Absolutely sickening.

8. So is * saying that it would take a man as criminally evil as ...
...Saddam Hussein to manipulate evidence and mislead the world. He may have a point there. Which unfortunately for W does not take W off the hook on the charge of manipulating evidence and misleading the world.

9. Projection.
"Only one person manipulated evidence and misled the world — and that person was Saddam Hussein," Bush added.

Except that the UN inspectors were telling us that Saddam was cooperating and they weren't finding any WMD. Turns out, it was Saddam telling us the truth and it was our own President who manipulated the evidence and who is now, again, lying to us.

10. While B*sh sends a single CLEAR message.
Unfortunately, that message is:
"Fuck you, GI! Serving is for poor morons, who should shut up and die
for my friends financial interests."

11. "Parting Shot" has a nice ring to it
Kind of like "You won't have George Bush to kick around anymore".

Enjoy Mongolia

13. Unlike the "we don't torture, please let us torture" message.
Pinata Boy is getting whacked harder and harder.
