BUSH: I talked about my desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world, like Iraq, where there’s a free press and free religion. And I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia will do the same thing. I fully understand, however, that there will be a Russian-style democracy.
PUTIN: We certainly would not want to have same kind of democracy as they have in Iraq, quite honestly.
BUSH: Just wait.
Just wait for what? Six more Friedmans? Five more martial-law elections? Wait for the next fractious "unity" government to get its shit together? Wait for the skilled middle class to return to Iraq, which is the only way the country will ever be able to start seriously rebuilding its infrastructure and society, while in the meantime the people who can't afford to escape the nightmare are butchered and terrorized by sectarian death squads?
I mean, really. Iraq has a "free press" and "free religion"?!? Is he dipping into Rush Limbaugh's stash or something? Look, if Bush has an actual plan, then let's fucking hear it already, unless he just wants to keep cracking wise about that fucking pig he sliced. Because it sure as hell seems that Iraq has imploded into a charnel house, with Bush objectively using these people's lives as some sort of currency to prove his vaunted instincts right in the (very) long run, if ever. These are, by the way, those very same instincts that looked into Putin's eyes, and saw his soul.
All together now: How'd all that work out?

You want to be that Bush said "just wait" because he never thought Putin would slam him like that? Bush always trys to come across as an 'optimist', but he does that, because he doesn't want people to know he's lying about what he's saying. He hopes that a smile and a chuckle will get him through anything! What an idiot he is. Let's hope the November election goes democrat!!!
