... just too good in a very ghastly sort of way.
You are going to have at least 4 people now asking for links to the transcripts where Bush, Petraeus, and Gates "said" that. I almost did.

you should probably link to something just to give it that "linky" look!
I smelled snark right away because of lack of links, so, if you really want to "get" them, slip in a link to something, like the Onion, maybe.

Bush in Lancaster, PA, the same day he vetoed the children's SCHIP bill.
"I got a lot of Ph.D.-types and smart people around me who come into the Oval Office and say, `Mr. President, here's what's on my mind.' And I listen carefully to their advice. But having gathered the device (sic), I decide, you know, I say, `This is what we're going to do.' And it's `Yes, sir, Mr. President.' And then we get after it, implement policy."
...Bush vetoed the bill in private, absent the television cameras and other media coverage that normally attend even routine presidential actions.... "Poor kids first," Bush said later in explaining his decision, reflecting a concern that some of the bill's benefits would go to families at higher incomes. "Secondly, I believe in private medicine, not the federal government running the health care system," he added in remarks to an audience in Lancaster, Pa. .... Republicans said none of the criticism would matter. "I'm confident that the more time we have to explain the veto, the more people will be with their position,' said Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, second-ranking GOP leader in the House.
There, proof that what's good for Republicans is good for Iraqis drinking dirty water !
