Stop the madness. There's something very, very wrong with this draft- dodging little man. If you've read any of Mark Crispen Miller's books, you know the shrub gets unusually animated and excited when talking about violence. That, as a kid, one of his favorite hobby's was pulling the legs off frogs and inserting firecrackers into the anuses of squirrels.
Bush on Iraq, 2004 : ‘Kick ass! Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them!’
The Washington Post today notes an excerpt from the autobiography of retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, which gives an “arresting portrait of Bush after four contractors were killed in Fallujah in 2004.” In response, President Bush held a videoconference with his national security team and generals, and launched into a “confused” pep talk:
“Kick ass!” he quotes the president as saying. “If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them! We must be tougher than hell! This Vietnam stuff, this is not even close. It is a mind-set. We can’t send that message. It’s an excuse to prepare us for withdrawal.”
“There is a series of moments and this is one of them. Our will is being tested, but we are resolute. We have a better way. Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them! Be confident! Prevail! We are going to wipe them out! We are not blinking!”
