The Smug Baldy Speaks

Over at ThinkProgress, there’s a small piece about President Bush’s remarks about something he’s learned from his visit to the Rawandan Genocide Museum:.

BUSH: A clear lesson I learned in the museum was that outside forces that tend to divide people up inside their country are unbelievably counterproductive. In other words, people came from other countries — I guess you’d call them colonialists — and they pitted one group of people against another

Bush used this bit of logic to apparently defend his administration’s do-lessness with respect to the ongoing Darfur genocide, as well as an excuse for America’s lack of response to the Rawandan Genocide. If that doesn’t peg your irony meter, maybe this will: The WAR President just called American troops in Iraq a colonialist force, while admitting that their presence was “unbelievably counterproductive”.

Sounds like Bush is getting a bit liberal in his loafers, no?
