O'Reilly's show the other day...and basically what the candidate said was the mission really WAS accomplished and that all those deaths since the "end" of "combat operations" are naught but a series of unfortunate accidents and other battlefield ephemera.
I gotta hand it to Bush, other men would be ashamed of such an infantile display of denial. Not him though, its all a part of his "comfortable-in-his-skin" machismo.
It is plainly spooky to watch Bush genuinely wrack his brain and come up empty when asked if he regretted anything or would've done things another way.
His eyes shift around and just for a second a sweaty police snitch comes gallpoing to mind.
Then he gets control of himself and favors his famed simian simper.
He is authentic in these moments...authentically puzzled that anyone would think he'd ever doubt himself.
Well, that is who Bush is, his complacency and fanaticism prevent him from learning anything or revising his self deified opinions in any way.
And he has always been like that, from all account Bush got through the entire Harvard MBA program without once questioning any of his own conservative shibboleths.
Professors on the far side of the river can recall the future President pleasantly denouncing social security, welfare and whatnot as dangerous socialistic schemes dreamed up by vile liberal elitists.
No doubt The President's aides hear him talking in this absurd fashion all the time.
THIS is Brian McGrory's so called "centrist"....incapable of learning, suspicious of reflection, and entirely nurtured in the conservative cult of grievance.
