So am I the only person that reads this statement and thinks that it makes perfect sense?

Isn't it best to try and know every possible way that you can be harmed so that you can watch for someone else trying that method?

Although I see no reason why the other statements shouldn't be used as evidence in an impeachment to have him removed from office ASAP.

P.S. - Before anybody responds to this and says I don't understand that quote, I do understand it, and I understand why every one else thinks its a bushism.

"As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself -- not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar. I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch. As a matter of fact, the Colonel asked if I needed first aid when she first saw me. I was able to avoid any major surgical operations here, but thanks for your compassion, Colonel." --George W. Bush, after visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1, 2006.
