How Can President Bush Know The Situation In Iraq When Living Far Away In His Beautiful White House?

QUESTION: Do you believe it's a civil war, sir?

BUSH: I can only tell you what people on the ground whose judgment -- it's hard for me, you know, living in this beautiful White House, to give you a first-hand assessment. I haven't been there. You have. I haven't. But I do talk to people who are -- and people whose judgment I trust -- and they would not qualify it as that. There are others who think it is.

    Hi. I'd like to introduce you to the camera. It can take pictures.

    Some cameras can take moving pictures. We call them videos.

    Sometimes people make videos into movies. Other people watch the movies and have different opinions about them.

    If he admits that it's a civil war then the war in Iraq is instantly something different from the war on terror in Iraq that he's been selling to the US public since the start and once you start getting off fighting terror and more on being stuck in the middle of a civil war then Bush's war is over and he doesn't want that to happen so he'll never directly admit that there's a civil war until he leaves office.

    ok, enable me positioned it this manner, jointly as he used the words captivating White domicile, some try to take it out of context and positioned a diverse intending to what he became into speaking approximately. He relies upon on human beings to tell him of what is going on. He can not be everywhere at as quickly as and the a techniques left media attempt to nail him on each little thing he says. The reporter became into attempting to corner him on bs. He can not be in Iraq and on the White domicile on an identical time. Screw it. You on the a techniques left bypass forward and make a huge deal over no longer something besides. What the heck became into the massive dam deal.

    All I can say is that the President is commanding the war. He is responsible for it's success or failure. It can be a success. It's up to the Iraqi people, and at this point, it is chaos.

    You can't blame him for living in the White House. He was voted there. You can blame him for the deaths of soldiers. Every soldier knows what they are volunteering for. They swear to give their life for their country. That is the bravest and most important point we should be looking at. Not one person is there against their will.

    Bush doesn't want to know the situation in Iraq and he doesn't want anyone else to know either.

    His entire life has been a desperate attempt to flee reality and in his deranged state, he actually believes that if he repeats a lie often enough it will become reality.

    See "Bush on the Couch" by Dr. Justin Frank for a complete analysis and description of Bush's severe mental illness.

    So you are saying he should be there? Yeah, that's smart. He won;t be a target at all.

    Hang yourself. Some intelligent people on this planet could use the oxygen you are wasting.

    It looks like Bush answered your question. So why are you reposting it?

  • 1 decade ago

    He posts questions on Yahoo! Answers and then only believes the stuff from people that sound like they know what they are talking about.

    so are you saying that our top generals in Iraq who have been there for years fighting, shouldn't have their opinions matter. I would definitely trust their opinion
