Ya think W regrets Iraq?

Not a damn chance!

Remember:
He surrounds himself with "Yes" people.
He receives filtered information.
His reality is quite different from the real world.

Bush continued: "I appreciate people's opinions, but I'm more interested in news. And the best way to get the news is from objective sources. And the most objective sources I have are people on my staff who tell me what's happening in the world."

Not to mention the massive war profiteering for his cronies.

1. No. His conscience is $ and his buddies in crime.

3. No WAY. He would never have been "reelected" if not for the fear/intimidation campaign associated
with the Iraq invasion. The "Dixie Chick-ing" of America, if you will.

That is the only consideration for him.

4. One comment here...
I seriously doubt if Monkey Boy even knows how to operate a computer, given his comment about "the internets". He probably doesn't know how to operate a newspaper, either. He's said he never reads them. Talk about insulated lunacy!

I think he's an idiot, and the name "Bush" was the only thing he had going for him when Rove made him Prez.

5. Nope.
I think he considers it a fine achievement.

7. Are narcissistic personality types . . .
. . . capable of self-reflection and regret?

He might regret it, but only insofar as what is going on there impacts him. I doubt that he is capable of regretting the million or so people killed and the millions of shattered lives that *his* war has caused.

8. When he gets bad news,
he blames others.

Note: I can't prove that. He just seems to be the kind of guy who doesn't know how to accept responsibility for what he has done.

9. Not in a million years
He lives in a world where he can do no wrong. It's a tiny tiny world.

10. All evidence indicates that he is incapable of regret.
He has failed at virtually everything in his entire life, and there does not seem to be any instance in which he has even REFLECTED on his failures. I'm convinced he is a psycho.

11. Why would he? he's making a bundle - in inheritance, at least.

Absolutely mission accomplished.

13. I see almost no greater waste of time and bandwidth than wondering about Dear Leader's 'feelings'
Edited on Sun Jan-07-07 01:43 PM by TahitiNut
... or thoughts, when it's abundantly clear that he's innately incapable of empathy or feelings of guilt. He's a pathological narcissist - a tool. He goes where he's driven - seeking only his next narcissistic supply. He's surrounded by enablers and handlers - courtiers who benefit from the overtly corrupt policies of this regime. He belongs in a padded cell - for 20 years to life - along with at least two dozen of the criminals complicit in the crimes against humanity perpetrated by this cabal.

15. Does a rock regret stubbing your toe?
About the only thing that Bush regrets in the lack of adulation for his God inspired leadership and decisiveness which has accomplished so much for the nation and the world.

20. Bush doesn't have the necessary amount of intelligence needed
to understand let alone feel regret. Explaining it to him would be like trying to describe the color yellow to a sightless person.
