Stupid Quote

Here's one of the stupidest quotes I've ever seen. President Bush said "Make no mistake about it; if we had known that the enemy was going to fly airplanes into our buildings, we would have done everything in our power to stop it" (from this CNN.com article). My only response to that is "I should fucking hope so!"

Mr. President, no one is accusing you of knowing exactly what al Queda was going to do, and then not trying to stop it. They aren't even saying you should have known exactly what al Queda was going to do.

No one, except those with sick imaginations, could have actually predicted that terrorists could hijack planes, fly them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and that both towers of the WTC would collapse because of it. The point is that there was increasing evidence of a monumental terrorist attack, and you didn't change your way of thinking.

You really must know you are guilty as sin if all you can say is "We didn't know they were going to fly planes into our buildings."
