More evidence that Bush is a fucking idiot?

From Reuters:

Even Bush is fan of Iraqi information minister

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - Now that the campaign to topple Saddam Hussein appears to be over, even U.S. President George W. Bush admits he is a fan of the public relations style of former Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.

"He's my man, he was great," Bush enthused in an interview with NBC's Tom Brokaw on Thursday. "Somebody accused us of hiring him and putting him there. He was a classic."


(Thanks to wilwheaton.net for that one.)

Does Bush not realise that this guy was the one exhorting Iraqis to kill American soldiers? Does he not realise that American soldiers have died because of what Comical Ali has said?

We might have laughed at the insanity of what al-Sahaf said, but it's the soldiers in the desert who were getting the direct results, and it was Bush who put those soldiers there in the first place.

How can Bush laugh about it, knowing that he's ultimately responsible for every soldier that al-Sahaf's lies caused?

Maybe, as Patton Oswalt (some comedian I downloaded after he was incorrectly labelled as Bill Hicks) said, Bush isn't stupid after all, he's just evil.
