Is that a giant amygdala in your head, or are you just happy to see me?

Maybe size does matter.

George W. Bush, Moron in Chief

George Bush, October 29, 2003

“The world is more peaceful and more free under my leadership, and America is more secure.”

George Bush, January 20, 2004, State of the Union Address

“For all who love freedom and peace, the world without Saddam Hussein’s regime is a better and safer place.”

From the New York Times regarding statements by George Tenet to the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, February 24, 2004 (Registration-free link to the NYT courtesy of the NYT Link Generator)—

George J. Tenet, director of central intelligence, said Tuesday that the world was at least as “fraught with dangers for American interests” as it was a year ago, despite the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s government in Iraq and successes in dismantling the leadership of Al Qaeda.

Most worrying, Mr. Tenet said, the radical anti-American sentiments and destructive expertise used by Al Qaeda have spread to other Sunni Muslim extremists who are behind a “next wave” of terrorism that will endure “for the foreseeable future with or without Al Qaeda in the picture.”

Hmmm. It’s almost as if the “left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.” (I searched far and wide for a link to that video Letterman use to play all the time of Bush using the wrong hands to illustrate this statement, but it’s apparently been cleansed from the web by to the Coalition to Prevent Everyone from Knowing George Bush is a Moron.)
