Bush now crying that nobody understands him.

President Bush has admitted to The Times that his gun-slinging rhetoric made the world believe that he was a “guy really anxious for war” in Iraq. He said that his aim now was to leave his successor a legacy of international diplomacy for tackling Iran.

In an exclusive interview, he expressed regret at the bitter divisions over the war and said that he was troubled about how his country had been misunderstood. “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric.”

Phrases such as “bring them on” or “dead or alive”, he said, “indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace”. He said that he found it very painful “to put youngsters in harm’s way”. He added: “I try to meet with as many of the families as I can. And I have an obligation to comfort and console as best as I possibly can. I also have an obligation to make sure that those lives were not lost in vain.”

Bullshit! I certainly hope that NOBODY buys any of this revisionist garbage.

George Bush DID want to go to war even before he took office as detailed by his very own biographer: Two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about the political benefits of attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer, who held many conversations with then-Texas Governor Bush in preparation for a planned autobiography.

“He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind. He said to me: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.’ And he said, ‘My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.’ He said, ‘If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency.”

And this is echoed by Bush's former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill who said: “From the very beginning, there was a conviction, that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go,” says O’Neill, who adds that going after Saddam was topic "A" 10 days after the inauguration - eight months before Sept. 11.

“From the very first instance, it was about Iraq. It was about what we can do to change this regime,” says Suskind. “Day one, these things were laid and sealed.”

And this accusation was further supported by the Senate Intelligence Report part two: West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller, the committee's chair, said it plain: "It is my belief that the Bush Administration was fixated on Iraq, and used the 9/11 attacks by al-Qaeda as justification for overthrowing Sadaam Hussein. To accomplish this, top Administration officials made repeated statements that falsely linked Iraq and al-Qaeda as a single threat."

So don't give us this bullshit story about not wanting to go to war. George W. Bush was a pathetic little mama's boy who desperately wanted to appear powerful and important to his parents and decided that after stealing the 2000 election to make the most of his chance.

We will not forget what he did to our country nor forgive the thousands of deaths that resulted in his pathetic attempt to attain manhood by allowing real men, and real women, to go to battle for a complete fabrication.
