Even El Presidente admits it was a mistake. He couldn't be clearer about it.

Sounds like he's apologizing about putting it on an aircraft carrier, not for having said it. Also, FWIW,
This was a good call on Bush's part in my opinion, for the reasons he listed. |

You've made this same argument before, Quirt. It got shot down before the same way it will this time..... Aren't you a bit young to suffer from memory loss?

He said it was a mistake. What part of it was a mistake don't you get? |

All aircraft carriers returning to base after a mission have this banner on it. Bush didn't put it there. The "mistake" he's talking about is standing in front of it while he gave his speech. I guess he assumed at the time that people would have enough sense to recognize that, and in hindsight realizes not that in fact, many people didn't have enough sense to recognize it. Just like some don't have the sense to comprehend his reflections on the situation. |

Let's try this again, because your explanation makes no sense. READ HIS WORDS ... does he say that it was a mistake to stand in front of it? No. HE SAYS IT WAS A MISTAKE TO PUT THE SIGN ON AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER.
Putting ... a banner ... on an aircraft carrier ... was a mistake. Not standing in front of it ... putting it on an aircraft carrier in the first place. How hard is it to understand those words? You may not agree with him, you may finally agree that he's nuts, but he's pretty clear in what he's saying. |

In light of what ensued afterwards he probably does think it was a mistake, quite understandably. If it had not been spun out of recognition, however, by the media and those on the Left it would not even have gotten a mention. |

For the twenty million and tenth time, it was misused by those who wish to criticize the president, yourself included. For people of good faith it is not a big deal and not what he said regarding Iraq at that time. Get a grip. It was only a mistake because it could be and was badly misused by people such as yourself. |

Having seen scores of aircraft carriers return to port from deployment with my own two eyes, no, they don't. In fact they almost never do. In fact, they rarely turn out on deck in dress blues anymore, either. It seems they only do it now if some VIP or the media is going to be there to meet them. [edit] Ships return to port, not base. |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Thanks for posting that, Quirt. It reminded me that you ran away from answering to the silliness of your claim that Bush was schizophrenic when he said he would have pursued immigration reform first. |
