“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

W stands for will

George Bush on the Ukraine election:
"We're watching very carefully what is taking place," Bush said. "But any election in any country must reflect the will of the people and not that of any foreign government."

Bush quoted later in the same article, discussing the postponement of elections in Iraq:
"The elections should not be postponed," he said. "It's time for the Iraqi citizens to go to the polls and that's why we are very firm on the Jan. 30 date."

Um, aren't we a foreign governement imposing our will on the people of Iraq?

Just checking.
