"Nobody likes beheadings"

In a speech given yesterday to the "City Club" in Cleveland, good 'ol Georgie urged Americans to look beyond the bloodshed in Iraq and see the progress.

Looking beyond the bloodshed might be easy for a black-hearted, soulless, self-centered thug. For someone like that, it's easy to see past human suffering right to the billions of dollars that will line the pockets of the corporate war machine that he and his cronies are a part of.

For families of Americans and Iraqis killed, maimed and mutilated, it might be a little more difficult. For college-aged kids spending months away from home, in a strange place, with people they don't know shooting at them and their friends dying around them, looking beyond the bloodshed could prove difficult.

But Bush has no problem seeing past a little bloodshed, and even less of a problem seeing past a whole lot of bloodshed. In an effort to show that he isn't completely devoid of all emotion, Bush belched out the little nugget, "nobody likes beheadings." What a softie.
