Not a Peaceful Welcome...
In an interview with George W. Bush, NBC's Brian Williams asked Junior about the Administration's early assertion that we would be greated as liberators.
Junior responded: "I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful welcome."
So Junior, if the "welcome" was not a peaceful one, how could it be considered a welcome?

Oh, I get it; those violent welcomes. I get those all the time!
God, what an idiot. Why does he even open his mouth?

He's so wedded to his own ideas, that he does't want to be bothered with the facts, especially when those facts tell him he's been dead wrong and needs to change course!

He says the stupidest things I have ever heard, and yet we are supposed to take him seriously. It is ridiculous.

He truly is in a world of his own. And this is the man with the nuclear codes, mind you. The one who could say "I'll just end it all."

For a bunch of people who pride themselves on "nuance", some of you are as dense as a load of bricks. Either that or you're just being disingenuous. Let's review:
"President Bush: 'I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful welcome. There were some in society, rejectionists and the Saddamists and the terrorists that have moved in to stir them up that said, "We're going to prevent a democracy from emerging." But I think a lot of people are glad, I know a lot of people are glad we're there. And they're glad we're helping them train their troops so they can take the fight.'"
It's obvious that the President was saying there were citizens in Iraq who welcomed us, but that welcome was marred by the violence of a minority of malcontents bent on agitating for trouble. He was not saying that the "welcome" itself consisted of violence. But you knew that already, didn't you. Is there a single honest bone in any of your bodies?

He's a moron and he's evil.
And to Dandi: what you don't understand is that it does not make any sense whatsoever to say "we are welcomed, but it was not a peaceful welcome."
If the welcome was not peaceful, then it's not a welcome.
I ask you this: Do you ever invite someone to your home, say "I'm glad you're here" and then you tell them to get out of your house; be gone?!
I don't think so!!!

So if I go to a relative's house and they welcome me, and the guy next door starts cursing and berating me, it wasn't a welcome after all? That makes no sense.

Don't you understand that the guy next door wasn't the one responsible for welcoming you? You were not his guest.
It's the relatives welcoming you.
Your analogy makes no sense.
