cheeky mr. bush

Brian Williams of NBC was able to spend a day with the president a few days ago and out of all the answers that Bush gave, I find this to be the most puzzling: "I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful welcome." The question, of course, was about the mistaken idea that we'd be welcomed into Iraq as liberators.

Welcomed, but not peacefully...like armed intruders stealing your valuables.

Fantastic dodge Mr. Bush, fantastic.

But honestly, on a whole, it seems that Bush might, might be waking up to the fact that he is not omnisicent and infallible. That maybe, just maybe, mistakes were made -- in fact he admits a few (and refuses others, like the insufficient initial troop strength). That's a first for him, some personal growth on his part. It's not enough to save him, but it's something.
