Just Like That

Maybe we have foggy memories, but things like this were not said before the war. But do the American people have a long enough memory for these kind of statements to piss them off?

We're happy to welcome the Bush administration back to reality, but didn't you guys and gals know it wouldn't be easy before you started this thing? If you didn't know, you're a bunch of assholes. If you did, but didn't tell the county, you're a bunch of assholes.

All we remember before the war was talk about mushroom clouds and how it really wouldn't be that hard to create a democracy in Iraq. Why, they were an educated secular people with oil money that could be used for reconstruction.

We don't know about you, but Bjorn informed us, that after listening to the Bush administration's prewar pep talks about Iraq this is what he pictured Baghdad might look like 3 years after the invasion:

I'm still waiting for the throngs of Iraqi's to deliver us hugs, kisses and flowers. That's what Dick Cheney told us what would happen. There is a big difference between roadside bombs and flowers. How could Dick have gotten it so wrong? Incompetence perhaps?
