Bush: The Iraq war "will look like just a comma....."
To be fair, here's the full statement from Bush's interview with Blitzer:
| quote: | BLITZER: Let's move on and talk a little bit about Iraq. Because this is a huge, huge issue, as you know, for the American public, a lot of concern that perhaps they are on the verge of a civil war, if not already a civil war…. We see these horrible bodies showing up, tortured, mutilation. The Shia and the Sunni, the Iranians apparently having a negative role. Of course, al Qaeda in Iraq is still operating.
BUSH: Yes, you see — you see it on TV, and that's the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there's also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there's a strong will for democracy.

Ya know, I actually think I know what Bush means or tried to mean by this statement. Nevertheless, what a fucking blatantly dismissal and ignorant thing to say.
Let's see if I can set this up correctly - best case scenario in Bushworld: Iraq becomes a true Democracy and allied with the U.S. and other democratic regions around the world. We did exactly what Bush wanted to accomplish in the region comma (at least 2700 American men and women died, 20,000 serious injuries {ya know, limbs blown off for good}, somewhere around 100,000 civilians killed overall, and the
threat of terrorism against Americans has become much worse /comma, but we won!
That's just peachy, ain't it?
