Bush quote from Afghanistan

Wow, that president guy is deep, eh?

During a ribbon cutting ceremony at the official opening of the new U.S. embassy in Kabul, Bush said Washington was there for the long haul.

"My message to the people of Afghanistan is: take a look at this building -- it's a big, solid, permanent structure which should represent the commitment of the United States of America."

Could he ask for an attack on the embassy any more clearly?

From the AP version:

Bush's entourage flew into the city from Bagram Air Base in a flotilla of heavily armed helicopters. Two door gunners on a press helicopter fired off a short burst of machine gun fire at unknown targets as the aircraft flew low and fast over barren countryside.
