Not surprising.  The man says, and does, stupid things on a daily basis.<a href="http://www.backwardsbush.com/" target="_blank">Only 882 days to go.</a>

"War is Hell" was already taken.  I guess that's the best ol' Georgie could do.

If you watch 'Why We Fight' you hear a bit from this speech, specifically the famous last lines, from the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces of the Second World War:=Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

<a href="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/viewmessages.cfm/forum/87/topic/51919">"War is not a time of joy."</a> I love this nugget of wisdom almost as much as when Bu$h said, "Xmas is not a Jewish Holiday!" Clearly, the man is as sharp as a bowling ball!!!<img height="483" src="http://www.bowlcandlepin.com/GWBush%20bowling.jpg" width="342" border="0" />

I prefer to remember this saying from Patrice O'Neal, on the end screen for Call of Duty 2."War is crazy shit" - Alexander the Great

We all know how bad the guy is with the English language. Well, what he was really trying to say was: "I want another Almond Joy."           ...which is, in fact, his offical policy towards the war in Iraq.

Here's the Deciderator:They [the terrorists] never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and neither do we""There's no doubt in my mind that we should allow the world's worst leaders to hold America hostage, to threaten our peace, to threaten our friends and allies with the world's worst weapons.""The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein and his willingness to terrorize himself.""We will stand up for terror. We will stand up for freedom.""I understand that unrest in the Middle East creates unrest throughout the region.""I was proud the other day when both Republicans and Democrats stood with me in the Rose Garden to announce their support for a clear statement of purpose, 'You disarm or we will!'"
