Bush Makes Funny

It's really bad when former Bush administration officials can't even keep a straight face with the stupid things their ex-boss saids. Case in point, was Bush's statement describing the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict as "a moment of opportunity for broader change in the region."

Former State Department policy planning director had an interesting reaction to Bush's speech.


"An opportunity?" Haass said with an incredulous tone. "Lord, spare me. I don't laugh a lot. That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. If this is an opportunity, what's Iraq? A once-in-a-lifetime chance?"


The Bushies are going to stick to the talking points of everyday is a sunshine day in the Middle East. It's the only thing these people know. I'm sure they will all write their tell-all books blaming each other and the nasty Democrats. They will go on the lecture curcuit and tell people that they tried to do everything to bring peace. Those words will have as much to do with reality as Bush's "opportunity" statement.

Anytime there is such remarkable politcal upheaval, and especially at a time when Hezbollah is alientating themselves and upsetting much of the Arab world, it certainly is an opportunity to affect and nurture broader change in the region.

That's why Bush is President and not that idiot you quoted.
