Blood on His Hands

IN 2003 WHEN BUSH WAS ABOUT TO GO TO WAR IN IRAQ,
GT CREATED THIS 'JOKE' AND SPREAD IT ON THE INTERNET:

IF YOU SHAVED GEORGE W. BUSH'S HEAD
AND DID NOT FIND 666,

YOU WOULD AT LEAST FIND
665 AND 3/4s

 As George W. Bush hawks his memoir, Decision Points, he seems especially driven to justify his decision to invade and occupy Iraq. He emphasizes how sickened he was at learning that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, though not too sick to kid about it at the White House correspondents’ dinner.

While he refuses to say whether he would have ordered the invasion had he known the truth — and there’s good reason to suspect that he did know the truth — Bush insists that 25 million Iraqis are better off without Saddam in power.

Unfortunately, the deferential interviewers are unwilling to ask tough questions. (Why do former presidents, secretaries of state, and their ilk get this free pass?)
