  pop quiz

When asked today if America would have invaded Iraq if we had known that they didn't have weapons of mass destruction, Bush responded, "Oh, absolutely."

When asked if terrorism has increased around the world as a result of American imperialism, Bush responded, "Oh, absolutely."

When asked if we have poisoned some of the food and water in Iraq with bunker busters and chemical weapons, Bush responded, "Oh, absolutely."

When asked whether it had been worth invading Iraq even without finding weapons of mass destruction, Bush responded, "Oh, absolutely."

When asked whether Rumsfeld should have perhaps personally signed some of the condolence letters going out to families of soldiers killed in Iraq, Bush responded, "Oh, absolutely."

When asked if he sleeps well at night despite the fact that so many American soldiers have been killed and injured in a war in which he chose to send them to on "bad intelligence", Bush responded, "Oh, absolutely."

When asked if he enjoys lying to the American people about reasons for going to war, about Social Security, and about just about everything else he can get away with, Bush responded, "Oh, absolutely."

pop quiz:
Which of the above statements did Bu$h actually make? (find answer here)

extra credit questions (do your own research):
1) Which of them are true despite the fact that he hasn't admitted to them?

2) Which of them are false, and are therefore further reasons to be ashamed that 51% of our country were stupid enough to inflict this jerk on the world for another four years?

Further enjoyment:
For fun, create your own "absolute Bu$h" questions.
For example: When asked if he thinks his daughters are embarrassing little twits, Bush responded "Oh, absolutely." Or, When asked he still enjoys a little of the white powder on his visits to Colombia, Bush responded, "Oh, absolutely."

(By the way, for some fun flip-flopping adminstration quotes on Iraq, check out this Seattle PI page. All the pre-war quotes can be summarized by "we're uncertainly certain he has the power/potential/magic spell to make/buy/summon weapons and nuke the world/bug my daddy/kill a hamster." All the post-war quotes can be summarized as "coulda, woulda, shoulda".)
