No one ever say irony, and the ability to recognize it when bit in the ass by said irony, was Bush’s strong suit.
"This investigation is important and it's ongoing, and a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your commander in chief."
I agree. Someone who’s going to make decisions about war and peace based on half-assed intelligence and wanton disregard for the facts should not be commander-in-chief.
This is the best though:
`If Senator Kerry had his way ... Saddam Hussein would still be in power, he would control all those weapons and explosives and could have shared them with our terrorist enemies,'' Bush said.
Yeah. This way, those weapons were distributed much more quickly and efficiently. George Bush - Improving the speed of weapons distribution.
Update: I see Wes Clark has my back on this one.
Today George W. Bush made a very compelling and thoughtful argument for why he should not be reelected. In his own words, he told the American people that "... a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your Commander in Chief".
President Bush couldn't be more right. He jumped to conclusions about any connection between Saddam Hussein and 911. He jumped to conclusions about weapons of mass destruction. He jumped to conclusions about the mission being accomplished. He jumped to conclusions about how we had enough troops on the ground to win the peace. And because he jumped to conclusions, terrorists and insurgents in Iraq may very well have their hands on powerful explosives to attack our troops, we are stuck in Iraq without a plan to win the peace, and Americans are less safe both at home and abroad.
By doing all these things, he broke faith with our men and women in uniform. He has let them down. George W. Bush is unfit to be our Commander in Chief.
