On George W. Bush's Iraq blunder, 'The effective annihilation of a nation is hardly a laughing matter.'
George W Bush, father of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq and other fantastically bloody escapades.
Granted, the linguistically challenged ex-head of state has long made people chuckle with his so-called"Bushisms," which have over the years included the following peculiar utterances:"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family,""I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully";"They misunderestimated me;" and"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children...
Of course, this is not the first time Bush has unintentionally said something deeply revealing about his own belligerence. There was that time in 2006, for example, when he remarked in an interview with CBS Evening News:"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror".
In front of an"audience of people who supposedly spend their days pursuing the truth", Corn wrote,"Bush joked about misstatements he had used to persuade the American people and the media.
Meanwhile, despite the perennial hullaballoo surrounding the threat of weapons of mass destruction, US leaders often seem to find the very concept of mass destruction downright hilarious. Recall that morning in August 1984 when Ronald Reagan went into jokester mode for the microphone check preceding his live radio broadcast:"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes".
