Cardinal: Bush said war would be `quick'

VATICAN CITY -- The Italian cardinal sent by Pope John Paul II in 2003 to try to dissuade President Bush from invading Iraq said Monday that the president promised the U.S. operation would be "quick."
Cardinal Pio Laghi visited Bush at the White House on March 5, 2003, to relay the pope's position that dialogue, not arms, should be used to resolve the crisis over Iraq, which the United States accused of harboring weapons of mass destruction.
"When I went to Washington as the pope's envoy just before the outbreak of the war in Iraq, he [Bush] told me: `Don't worry, your eminence. We'll be quick and do well in Iraq,"' Laghi told Italian Catholic TV station Telepace, which was broadcasting the pontiff's annual address to diplomats.
When the United States went to war in Iraq, Laghi called the attack on Baghdad "tragic and unacceptable."
"Unfortunately, the facts have demonstrated afterward that things took a different course--not rapid and not favorable," he told Telepace. "Bush was wrong."
WHOA THERE CARDINAL CRAPPY!!! Hasn't the Vatican learned that Bush can't be wrong yet? I mean after all those debates, that election from hell and all the great and positive things they have accomplished and plan to accomplish with their steady leadership one should know that being wrong does not enter into this equation.
So, in effect, Cardinal Laghi is wrong, and then by default so is the Pope and therefore God has thus been proven fallable by Dubya! HA! IN YOUR FACE GOD!!! Now, whatcha gonna do with existance now, HUH!?!?!
