Don't Go, Oh Please, Stay, Please?


George w. Bush went before the cameras today to say that he is (finally/temporarily - your choice) concerned about Afghanistan.

"My biggest concern is that people say, 'Well, we're kind of tired of Afghanistan and, therefore, we think we're going to leave,'" Bush said at the White House. "That would be my biggest concern."

Bush and, in a separate appearance Condi Rice, then proceeded to positively gush over the wonderful contributions being made, as Shrub put it, by "the Brits, the Canadians, the Dutch, the Danes and other countries."

Hey, wait a minute. The line about "...we're kind of tired of Afghanistan and, therefore, we think we're going to leave," doesn't that sound exactly like what Bush himself said in 2002 when he decided he'd rather go play quagmire in Iraq? The guy's like a trained chimp except, perhaps, without the diaper.
