I went back and listened and find the same words....
He is sorry he said something because it gave the haters ammo
He did not say it was incorrect because it was not incorrect.
Reality is and was...what it is
No matter how many times a lie is repeated it isnt true
Of course it is expected that those on the Left want to repeat a lie
What is a surprise is how often BT lets them set the foundation of debate like thier word is gospel
Thats why I love Ann Coulter....she does not accept their foundations/conclusions that seem to start a debate
Like "well we must accept "A" and then we start....
No...thats bullshit....I dont accept your "A" as a premise.
That sign on that ship was 100% correct.
The mission of that ship and those soldiers that day was accomplished.....that is reality.
The other spin and added crap is not reality.

That's kinda what I thought as well, C.  So, how are we misrepresenting Bush??  That's apparently the charge now, by none other than Bt

You must have your reasons for keeping this place going BT, but I'd dump it. It's just become a haven for people like sirs, et al, to post nonsense. 

Too bad, I've actualy grown to like you over the years.

bsb



As long as i'm able to keep the lights on, I will.

In fact, sometime during baseball season I plan to launch a complete redesign of the place and do some serious recruiting.


Are looking for better fielders, batters or both?




Mostly i am looking for people who, because they are new, aren't predictable.



Then after they get old & stale they will predictable too. These days you seem pretty predictable yourself. Why don't you surprise us and shift to the right for awhile?

It was in reference to his "I regret...."

So, still waiting for this explanation of how I, and perhaps Cu4, misrep'ed Bush

To anyone who took his words too figuratively, I suppose.  Basically echoing precisely my point.  So, 1 last time, how am I, or Cu4 for that matter, misrepping Bush.  Nut just apparently misrepping him, but doing it to the level of "piece of work"

So he didn't apologize to anyone specifically. You supposed he was apologizing, you read into his words what his words did not express, when he could have just been expressing regret. And you do realize that regrets are not synonymous with apologies either expected or owed. Come to think of it I'm trying to remember anytime Bush apologized during his entire Presidency.

When one continuously infuses ones own biases into another's words, odds are damn good one will misrepresent the original intent of those words.

And you seem to have a habit of doing that.

Pay careful attention here Bt.  THIS is the quote, that you painted as egregiously misrepresenting Bush... "...especially in how it was taken out of complete context....and still is".  So, I emplore you, stop making things up that don't exist.  His original intent mirrors mine, as well as Cu4's.  How you can then twist it to claim some form of misrepresentation, with a caveat of "piece of work", is pretty pathetic, if you ask me

Your continued bogus accusations of me are becoming a piece of AMBE

Ya know C....the irony is tangible.  Bt attempts to lecture me for doing exactly what he's doing...he has this predisposed mindset/bias of what I, or perhaps even any partisan conservative, of what they MUST be thinking, and then responds NOT to what has been said, or even clarified, but to what he thinks the intent had to have been.  Literally, he read into my words, what my words did not express.

Ever since "the mosque" debacle.    :-\

When Ami & I had the same complaint/claim about Obamacare, he comes in at me.  When this issue about mission accomplished came up, he again targets me, despite you providing just as much commentary as I.

I'm not sure what warrants such attention, from our leader, especially in his apparent desire to mock me, or misrepresent me

And who claimed he was apologising to somebody "specifically"?  Could that be you reading into words, that the words never expressed, n'est pas?

Apparently there is enough of a difference between the words for dictionary.com to have separate entries.

Bush uttered regrets. You claimed he apologized.
