Chimpy pretends he's a combat veteran again.

Edited on Wed Nov-07-07 03:41 PM by Sparkly

"I would say that we would always try to try diplomacy first," he said. "In other words, I -- I've committed our troops into harm's way twice, and it's not a pleasant experience because I understand the consequences firsthand."

2. Bush can "understand the consequences firsthand" of war...

...since he probably wacks off to videos of the collateral damage he has his hand in making.

3. Maybe he's talking about the consequence of hiding out in the TANG Champagne unit

Then deserting.

But he's talking about committing others, not going into combat himself. Don't ya think, Sparkly?

11. Hey, let's be fair here

History shows that not once was the Viet Cong's fabled air force successful in attacking Houston.

12. The only combat he has seen first hand is...

the battle for his sobriety - and he lost that several times.

13. The thing that pisses me off is that our sorry excuse for journalists

never call him on these lies. Never ask the questions that are begging to be asked. They just let the lie go as if it were the truth. There can be no excuse for this...
