The buck stops where?

Our delusional president laments the "intelligence failure" that identified nonexistent WMD in Iraq and admits he was "unprepared" for war.

    I DO NOT BELIEVE HIM AND HE PISSES ME OFF

    He should have finished his sentence more truthfully Joan. This President was unprepared. Not just for war but he was seriously unprepared for being President. He sure was unprepared for war. First we are attacked by some terrorists, he believes his goons that we ought to attack some country that didn't even attack us, I mean why was anybody even looking to attack Iraq? But all of the sudden, we have to attack Iraq. Why? Well from everything I've read, both Ron Suskinds book and Jack Goldsmith's book really explain the belief behind attacking Iraq, that this would teach the Middle East a lesson. They thought winning in Iraq would be easy. Easy... yeah war... easy. What a naive idiot. He actually believe those neo-cons who are really nothing more than a modern Utopian except they believe you can spread democracy by force. Geez... Democracy by force, I mean who believes this stuff? It is hard to believe that so called seasoned pols, yeah I am talking about Cheney, were this naive. So Bush was unprepared. The real truth is this President was simply unprepared to be President. He has no management skills, hired people based on loyalty rather than skills and this is what we got, highly incompetent government. Thanks George, for pissing me off one more time.

    Oh and PS, they never believed there were WMD's in Iraq. I have no doubt of this, they just made it up to scare people, the evidence is in, we know it.
