He's only interested in beer and hero-worship. The truth just RUINS his buzz as he drools over his "Ghoulee At Ground Zero" and "Bush on Carrier with Codpiece" photos. -- Donald Rumsfeld: "If you're asking if there's a direct link between 9/11 and Iraq, the answer is no." http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4865948/ On May 01, 2003, President Bush declared that, "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended." "I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation. " - George "Dubya" Bush
