Ahhh, so what's the story with GITMO then, WhistleAss?

Even while expressing his views, Bush said Saddam's punishment "will be decided not by the president of the United States but by the citizens of Iraq in one form or another."

He said he doesn't see a need for an American role in Saddam's trial, a process that Iraqis are "plenty capable of conducting."

The president distanced himself from possible interrogation methods used to elicit information from Saddam, other than to say that "this country doesn't torture."

And to all the wingnuts who have made a career of parsing the word "is" and bashing Clinton, the Miserable Failure will surely pass into the history books as the Biggest Liar Ever in the White House. Let's now move on to the word "if". Here are some examples from today: (emphasis added)

Bush also defended the intelligence that he used in citing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a main reason for going to war. Asked about the emphasis now on alleged weapons "programs" instead on possession of weapons themselves, Bush remained firm about his prewar assessment of the threat Saddam posed and insisted the world and America are safer because of the war that toppled him.

"What's the difference?" he said. "If he were to acquire weapons, he would be the danger. That's what I'm trying to explain to you. A gathering threat, after 9-11, is a threat that needed to be dealt with."

In reality, WhistleAss is probably hoping against hope for another Karla Faye Tucker moment to demonstrate his compassion and true christo-fascist brotherhood. All he'll need is a white hood to make it a Photo Moment for Laura's scrapbook o'death.
