TRD (Total Reality Disconnect)

Today President Bush participated in a video conference with military and civilian personnel engaged in the ongoing occupation (six years and counting) of Afghanistan. During the discussion, which was organized to address the many humanitarian, socio-political, economic, and military crises still raging in that country, President Bush made a series of remarks that I can only characterize as ‘borderline insane’:

“I must say, I’m a little envious… If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed. It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You’re really making history, and thanks.”

I have no comment other than my characterization. ~ pinky

[ note from Bunny: Why 'borderline'...? ]

[ Kim: I believe the clinical term is 'psycho'. ]
