Translation

an article in the los angeles times today said our president proclaimed that the united states is dedicated to a democratic iraq. let's take a look at bush's quotes in this story and determine what they really mean:

bush says: he was "inspired to be able to visit the capital of a free and democratic iraq."
bush means: "i can't believe i can walk into that place and not get my head blown clean off."

bush says: "america is a nation that keeps its commitments...it's in our interests that iraq succeed."
bush means: "i've got our feet stuck so deep in this trough of pig crap that the only way out is to wade around until we thin it out a little."

bush says: it is important to meet with iraqi prime minister nouri maliki to see "firsthand the strength of his character and his deep commitment to succeed."
bush means: "i need to make sure the strings on my puppet are tight enough that it'll do what i want."

bush says: "no matter the polls and all this business, it's worth it, it's necessary, and we will succeed...don't bet on american politics forcing my hand because it's not going to happen."
bush means: "what are polls? what are constituents? what the hell are you talking about, responsibility to my people? i don't have time for this, rovey is free! it's party time! who's bringing the yeyo?"
