Bush Regrets Tough Talk

 

President Bush told a round-table of 14 reporters that he now regrets some of his more famous tough-talking phrases. He had previously admitted no mistakes. In particular he regrets saying "Bring 'em on" when Iraqis were attacking U.S. troops.

"'Bring 'em on' is a classic example, when I was really trying to rally the troops ... those words had an unintended consequence. It kind of, some interpreted to be defiance in the face of danger," Bush said.

The president also said he regrets making a vow to get Osama bin Laden "dead or alive." He admitted that his wife, Laura, questioned his choice of words after his speech. "...You've got to be mindful of the consequences of the words," Bush said.

  you're right...  
 
I wonder who asked him to apologize
 
 by: Pas Content   01/14/2005 07:41 PM     
  before the storm  
 
I think he is about to get hit in the face with a bad-press snowball and is trying to make himself look as good as possible before getting reamed. Trouble is brewing at the Whitehouse, with all the administration changes and the shake-up over at the CIA HQ something is about to come down the pipe... bigger than cigars and interns.
 
 by: theironboard     01/14/2005 08:24 PM     
  something is wrong...  
 
suddenly he feels the need to apologize? FOR THAT? Something is gonna happen this next weeks, and yes probably something that will crush his image.

  Weak, but still a better choice than [s]Kerry  
 
Yes, he's showing fatigue and some doubts, but still ranks far ahead of Lurch the Poodle.

I feel more vindicated each week that I voted for Michael Peroutka instead of any of the other wannabes.

By the way, Bush also scored higher than Kerry on intelligence tests given by the military, robbob. What was YOUR score?

  From a soldier:  
 
Yeah, I'm active duty, I scored a 99. The reason pencilnecks will be outscored by GI Joe the football star is they usually lack knowledge to score high on the mechanical sections, which weigh heavily in the asvab. BTW, attempting to judge the intellect/military validity of a person by ASVAB score is as futile as it is stupid. Its a terrible way to judge anything other than where to distributed the fresh meat. At least I can log on and view a valid history of Kerry's military employment. Try that with Bush. Zero.

  Better than Kerry...right..  
 
Hitler was intelligent too, but that doesn't mean the decisions were correct.

"Brokaw: Someone has analyzed the President's military aptitude tests and yours, and concluded that he has a higher IQ than you do.

Kerry: That's great. More power. I don't know how they've done it, because my record is not public. So I don't know where you're getting that from."

Luhker, got something better?

Bush should, but will never admit that Iraq is a new much larger recruiting base for terrorism than afghanistan ever was:

did you even see the first debate?
I know Alzheimer’s patients that could have beaten Bush!
He was horrible all Kerry had to do was sit and watch!
Bush looked less like a candidate for president and more like a candidate for a brain transplant.

  Insulting Bush is so boring now...  
 
You know it has come to the point now where it is pretty much a 'fact' that Bush is stupid - the population of the world after he entered the White House again simply sighed and surrendered to the premise that not only is he the stupidest US president ever, he manya ctually be one of the dimmest leaders of any country.

The only problem is that he now seems to be at the helm of the worlds most powerful ship. And doing a good job at running it into the nearest rocks too. Still its fine considering half of the crew voted for him.. does this Titanic have enough lifeboats? Of course not.

Er good luck. As Dubbyah would say 'Bring em on'.

You're declaring you'd take [s]Kerry on a surfboard over Bush with a chainsaw?
How productive is that?

  @emp3p0r  
 
Read it again! I'm not promoting Bush. I'm promoting Peroutka, but ranking Bush over Kerry!

What's the value of debating skills in day to day administration activity?
What's the Senate attendence record of
Kerry? Is he casting votes or reviewing legislation while he struts like a peacock in Iraq?

  @Vswift  
 
Maybe you could show your superior intelligence by applying the blue pencil of an editor to your error-filled comment?

Feel free to continue your fruitless adoration of [s]Kerry. He eats it like potato chips, but it doesn't improve his stature a whit!

"The reason pencilnecks will be outscored by GI Joe the football star is they usually lack knowledge to score high on the mechanical sections, which weigh heavily in the asvab."

Anyone who got a 99 should know that that's not true. I got a 91 (QT) out of a possible 99. The QT is just your math and English scores. Your GT is the mechanics and electronics.

Debating skills no I’m talking about him being a dumb a$$.
Speaking of dumb a$$’s Peroutka?
Just his site alone what a great man he must be... God... Family... Repüblic...

Yeah his interruption of god, family, and repüblic... he’s a bigger douchebag then Bush!!! Bush ran on some of the same crap!

God... Family... Repüblic...
Sorry man... that is as lame
as(s) “dead or alive”
or Peroutka's site: “I thought about Tennessee Congressman Davy Crockett.”

Whaaaat A Flaamer!

You “rank Bush above Kerry” in what a smirking contest?

So Kerrey missed some (a lot what ever) time in the senate at least he has the metal capacity to under stand the significance of his words.
Like his treats against other nations...

Or just understanding the word significance!

  Bush Kerry ...Kerry Bush ... etc etc etc  
 
Is this what you guys understand by "politics" ... is he a nice guy, does he stutter, does he change his mind .....

These are qualities of a candidate.....they are not Issues ....perhaps you should take a look at the elections in Brazil ... a real election not an American farce ...where a popular movement can elect a man from their own ranks to leadership ....let's see Americans try that one ...

I think u guys waste too much time debating candidate qualities has nobody even noticed that the real issues that worry the American population weren’t even addressed (by mutual agreement on behalf of the two candidates) …

"The elections very self-consciously evaded issues of political significance and were focused almost entirely on projecting images in an effort to elude the public into purchasing the candidate who was being sold by the imagery creation. That's not very surprising. The elections are run by the PR industry and that's what they do in their everyday lives. What they're doing is trying to delude you into purchasing this commodity rather than that identical one. When the same industry is given the task of selling candidates they do it the same way."
