Did he really? I don’t recall that particular dollop of crapola emanating much from him, I remember hearing it from Paul Wolfowitz once, but I don’t recall it ever having a central place in the mosaic of horseshit. And you can be pretty sure Mr. Fattman is getting all mavericky, the Party leadership doesn’t want anyone, anywhere, for any reason, talking about the I-word. Unless you can figure out a way to blame it on Obama.
Yes, according to Think Progress it was Wolfowitz that said it:
Common Dreams says Bush endorsed the idea, although they do not cite sources.
I’m almost sure I recall GWB saying “Iraqi oil receipts will pay for the invasion” or words to that effect, in one of his early speeches defending his decision to go into Iraq.

Iraq could start by paying for all the gravedigging services US personnel provided when all those dead Iraqi civilians were lying around…
Gotta marvel at the chutzpah though. It’s like stealing candy from a toddler, then suing him over the emotional distress his crying caused you.
This is unfair, because it’s not from today, nor even recently, but the death of Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, shortly after the killing of Osama bin Laden, reminded me of Republican Steve King’s prediction in March 2008:
He also said if he was wrong, he would apologize, but I seem to have missed that event.
Anybody who lays money on Congressman Steve King, that howling Northwest Iowa, insular, parochial, angry old white guy, knee jerk narcissistic reactionary hay seed, apologizing for anything is going to lose his money.
My only regret is that the latest Gerrymander of Congressional Districts still does not allow me to vote against him.
Well, of course you can, in fact, you can vote against him a couple thousand times, thanks to our successful efforts to undermine voter integrity. I’ll put you in touch with your local ACORN commissar.
You could gerrymander yourself into his district, by moving…
Our boy Mitt Romney demonstrates his concern and understanding of the jobs problem, and thinks it a joke. He may be the most moderate member of of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs but he need to think a bit before he just says stuff. I’m sure that the chronically unemployed hundreds of former Maytag employees over in Newton, Iowa, will chuckle at the thought that the ex-Gov of Mass. is in solidarity with them in their struggle.
Lives in Iowa. So, he should move from flat, corn-infested, and dull to flat, corn-infested and dull?
Hey, Mitt Romney! There’s a difference between “unemployed” and “wealthy”. :rolleyes:
What an idiot.
Meh. It was a joke. If he was truly trying to say something like “buck up, bucky o. I understand you, for I too know the plight of no-paycheck and have had it just as hard as you. But you pull yourself up by your short sleveed dress shirts and put your Bible to the grindstone and get to work!” there might be an issue.
But, no. It was just a joke (that people laughed at) before I’m sure he gave his real answer that no one bothered to quote.
Threads like this need the occasional counterpoint. Allow me to introduce the Honorable Roy McDonald:

Well ku-fucking-dos, Sir.
I don’t care if the guy is opening a death camp, if he puts his principles above party politics and his career, he’s OK in my book. Elucidator, I move we take this guy off the List.
The Wall is for the evil, not the mistaken.
Dammit! I just came in here to post this.
Great minds think alike. Twisted minds as well, it would seem.
Hey. Hey. New York. Rockefeller Republicans are as likely as the psychotic kind, remember?
Outside of a couple of specimens kept in exclusive zoos, extinct. Deader than DOS.
That guy needs to be in a whole different thread.
