"NEW YORK (CNN) -- The founder of the U.S. Christian Coalition said Tuesday he told President George W. Bush before the invasion of Iraq that he should prepare Americans for the likelihood of casualties, but the president told him, "We're not going to have any casualties.""
Here is the quote. To the defense of the President, and this is hard for me to say, I am sure this is being taken out of context somehow.

James, you're such a blind yes-man, aren't you? A support of the president quotes him, but, burying your head in the sand as you always do, you deny it.
You get a life, and stop kissing ass so much.
And the link is working now-I think I left the "l" out of "html" accidentally.

Oh please, President Bush had already warned the country that this would be no easy task.

This thread has earned one of these
Pretty sad when someone spends their whole life sitting in front of news sites or TV news jerking off and waiting on something bad to come out about whichever canidate they hate.

Then why would he confide such a damn fool remark to a supporter, Mike?
IF this had come from, say a Democratic member of Congress, I wouldn't give it much creedence, but it's coming from a staunch supporter of the President. Do you think Robertson is lying? And if he is, to what purpose?

It's right on their front page, Mr. Obsession. It's there for all to see-excpet for the wilfully blind like yourself. Didn't have to search at all.

I'm with Dtwclipper here. Regardless of how someone else is quoted, I simply cannot believe that George Bush would have thought that Iraq could happen without casualties. I might not be the biggest fan of the man, but that suggestion just stretches credulity too far.
She's as nervous as a very small nun at a penguin shoot.

What would Kerry be saying now in his Presidential campaign if Bush didn't go into Iraq?
Probably
>>>This president has left a dangerous, unpredictable tyrant in control of Iraq. A totally unacceptable and irresponsible decision made all the worse because the Congress of the United States of America, including my own, Yes vote, have overwhelmingly determined Saddam to be an unacceptable threat in this post 9/11 world.
This president is unwilling or unable to come to grips with this clear and present danger.

You make me sad Alpha...so worked up, such a tortured soul. Perhaps you need some medication, I hear they are passing out some in return for Voter Registration cards in your area...
If you honestly believe the President said that then you are beyond help.

ROTFL. Your description is colorful, James-it's not accurate at all, but it's certainly colorful. I'm hardly worked up at all. If anyone is worked up, it's you, everytime someone dares point out Mr. Bush's shortcomings, of which he has many. You and the other members that I used to group are always there, Johnny-on-the-spot, to kill the messanger, and kiss Bush's butt.
I think it's a hoot, to be honest.
If you honestly believe the President said that then you are beyond help.
Looking at his M.O., the fact that he never admits to a mistake, and is so out-of-touch with what Iraq is really like, then I guess I'm beyond help. Mr. Bush could say that to your sorry face, and you'd still deny he meant it.

"I'm at a complete loss of words how we as Americans keep allowing this as acceptable behavior from a President."
This coming from someone who supports a man that stated he wanted troops deployed under the U.N., but changed his tune several years later to making sure troop deploymen passed the "Global Test".
Either way you look at it we need a viable third party because in my opinion we as American's haven't had a good clear choice since Reagan V Mondale.

That comment is pointless on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin.

"kill the messanger"
The messenger is Pat Robertson, since when has he been held in such high regard?
"...and is so out-of-touch with what Iraq is really like,..."
Well fist off if you think you know what Iraq is really like I'd like to hear it, because I'd bet you and most others are wrong.

Feel free to begin, because I think it is important given the context of this conversation.
"I'd say since Clinton / Bush."
I don't think so because no one won a majority. In fact it could be effectively argued that the Repub base was adversely affected by Perot running. Had it been Clinton/Bush heads up it is possible we would have had a different outcome.
