Bush: 'Sometimes, words have consequences'
http://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/ ... index.html

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush says he now sees that tough talk can have an "unintended consequence."

During a round-table interview with reporters from 14 newspapers, the president, who not long ago declined to identify any mistakes he'd made during his first term, expressed misgivings for two of his most famous expressions: "Bring 'em on," in reference to Iraqis attacking U.S. troops, and his vow to get Osama bin Laden "dead or alive."

"Sometimes, words have consequences you don't intend them to mean," Bush said Thursday.

"'Bring 'em on' is the classic example, when I was really trying to rally the troops and make it clear to them that I fully understood, you know, what a great job they were doing. And those words had an unintended consequence. It kind of, some interpreted it to be defiance in the face of danger. That certainly wasn't the case."

You don't have to be stupid to be a complete dick. Step right up Tony Blair.

One of the funniest (not funny 'ha-ha'...the other kind) things I ever saw was when Bush was shown saying something that his speechwriters wrote, and a smile crept across his face, and the commentator likened it to a 'baby shit in his diaper' smile, when he knows that whatever it is he just said, he pronounced it right.

Watch for it, he does it all the time.
