Lott: Bush barely mentioned Iraq in meeting with Senate Republicans

HUH? U.S. Soldiers are getting killed and being attacked an average of every 15 minutes, Iraqi's are being killed by the HUNDREDS and this arrogant bastard comes out and says that while the majority party meets with the Commander in Chief the war in Iraq i isn't discussed? Oh, and by the way - those of us who think it should be discussed are obsessive?!!!! I'm sorry - one would EXPECT that the majority party AND the Commander and Chief would be obsessesed with the war in Iraq. Should be their #1 priority. Good God! What is wrong with these people? We obviously have a bunch of self absorbed dumb asses running the government. .... and that's the nicest thing I can think of to say about them.

President Bush barely mentioned the war in Iraq when he met with Republican senators behind closed doors in the Capitol Thursday morning and was not asked about the course of the war, Sen. Trent Lott, R-Mississippi, said.

"No, none of that," Lott told reporters after the session when asked if the Iraq war was discussed. "You're the only ones who obsess on that. We don't and the real people out in the real world don't for the most part."

Lott went on to say he has difficulty understanding the motivations behind the violence in Iraq.

"It's hard for Americans, all of us, including me, to understand what's wrong with these people," he said. "Why do they kill people of other religions because of religion? Why do they hate the Israeli's and despise their right to exist? Why do they hate each other? Why do Sunnis kill Shiites? How do they tell the difference? They all look the same to me."
