This picture socked me in the gut, fills me with grief. What is being done in our name, in the good name of this country - that is terrorism.</p> Been ill, so I’m playing catch up with news.

It is not about eliding, as an earlier commenter sugests. Mr. Bush is profoundly limited in his ability to reason. This is the kind of “President” the Republicans want America to have. That way, voters don’t need to worry their pretty heads about policy and its implications–e.g., those terrible pictures on TV such as the one you started this thread with.</p> The way Bush is “thinking” when he talks about the horrible images on TV is really the same as the way he’s thinking when he apologized, the other day, for his choice of words, e.g., “bring ‘em on,” etc. This is consistently how Bush thinks.
