President Bush regrets his legacy as man who wanted war
President Bush has admitted to The Times that his gun-slinging rhetoric made the world believe that he was a “guy really anxious for war” in Iraq. He said that his aim now was to leave his successor a legacy of international diplomacy for tackling Iran.
In an exclusive interview, he expressed regret at the bitter divisions over the war and said that he was troubled about how his country had been misunderstood. “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric.”
Phrases such as “bring them on” or “dead or alive”, he said, “indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace”.
Brad at Sadly,No! adds:
Yeah, you know, I don’t think it was saying things like “bring it on” that made people think you loved war, George. Indeed, I think it might have had more to do with the fact that you, you know, started a war. For, like, no discernible reason. And it’s still going on, like, five years later. That to me is a better indication of why people think you’re really into war.
This is the same dude who insisted that he was the "commander-in-chief" and the "war president".
