Bush put on a slide show, calling it the "White House Election-Year
Album" at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association 60th
annual dinner, showing himself and his staff in some decidedly
unflattering poses.
There was Bush looking under furniture in a fruitless, frustrating
search. "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere,"
he said. "
Bush is making jokes about the lies he sold that led to the deaths of
hundreds of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. What a piece of
work.
Jesus can't you American's find something better than that piece of
shit to lead you?
Good luck
Sounds to me like he was making jokes about all kinds of stuff. It's good
to have a president with a sense of humor.

1.) If Kerry is the only other "major party" candidate, I guess not.

I think the point is that hundreds of dead U.S. soldiers who gave their
lives in support of Bush's wild goose chase is no laughing matter even for
an idiot like Bush.
You're absolutely right; however, he wasn't joking about the deaths. He was
joking about the WMDs that can't be found.
>Jesus can't you American's find something better than that piece of

anyone who dies to defend his falsehoods.

Clinto tried playing nicely with North Korea - what happened - they

With Bush's approach in Iraq, Lybia surrendered their WMDs. They didn't want

Oh if thats what you're worried about:
a) don't attack the US.
b) don't act like you're hiding WMDS
c) don't try to make WMDs.

Yeah... I'm sure that half "our shit" involves blowing up "Furriners". If
you "Furriners" had done your jobs originally (enforcing UN resolutions), we
wouldn't have had to step in and clean up your shit.
Nope, here's what we consider some of our responsibilities:
a.) doing what we say we're going to do
b.) not issue empty threats
c.) protect our interests (foreign or demestic)
d.) back up our friends (read allies)
e.) try not to parrot liberal media outlets.

Too bad there is not a stupidity competition at the upcoming olympic

We could send you over as the over-whelming, clear, odds-on favorite

After "blowing away" your competitors, all of your hard work and

Only the CANDU I guess, but that's why I mentioned the economic
effects too.
Actually blowing up "Furriners" still effects us cause Bush tries to
get us along for the ride, makes us spend more on border/port security
(which is fine by me) and is now intent on getting us in on Star Wars
Part II (which I think is money wasted).
It's a global economy, haven't you heard? We're doing fine thanks but
it still sucks when a major trade partner has an econmony in the
shitter.
Ok, half was probably a bit high. Aren't you guys in the UN too though?
> I think I've heard some news stories about interest in changing
> that... or it may have been your wacky term limits. I dunno.
Orrin Hatch is trying for a constitutional amendment designed to make his
buddy Arnie eligible. Why we need this after a couple hundred years of
getting along fine without furriner president, I have no idea. Perhaps a
few hundred million Americans is too small a playing field to be able to
come up with a decent president, so we have to look to Austria, birthplace
of other famous leaders like Adolph Hitler.
at least we do not have 'supreme ruler for life' problems.
some of the american voters have lost sight
of the intent of this country. they feel the need to reinterpret its
defining document, but assbackwardsly interpreting-- sorry,
reinterpreting in an inverse way its constitution.
maybe it is time for a another president who still comprehends what the
big idea was? (After Bush finishes his second term.)
unless of course, george soros does not buy the election for kerry.
While I don't accept your premise that bush told "lie after lie on a daily
basis", yes I do consider myself an intellectual.

I hope you're right. Most sober analysts believe invading Iraq under false
pretense caused more harm than good to U.S. interests. We'll never know,
even in a generation, because you can't predict what would have happened had
we stayed the course. One thing is for sure - hundreds of American soldiers
would still be alive today had we not invaded.
Meanwhile yet another U.S. Marine died today fighting the Iraqis that we
"rescued" from Saddam and who are so happy to see us.

I try to avoid name calling Dennis but you are one dumb mother fucker
if you can't see the harm in invading a factually harmless, already
beaten Iraq while at the same time, Pakistan,whos intelligence agency
wired Atta $100,000, and ran an actual airliner hijack school, has its
head nuke guy selling the secrets to Islam. Then gets pardoned by bush
buddy Mooshey.
Ironicly, at the very time its going on, I'm saying, "I hope we're

Bush's selling point was the WMD, and the danger they posed to the rest of the world,
or at least our little corner of it; the welfare of the Iraqi people was always a
secondary consideration. IIRC, after 9/11 a lot of people were saying it's fair to
hold the people of a nation responsible for the actions of their government if that
government is our enemy, since those people should have changed their government. Why
is it then, that we're responsible for helping those people who won't help themselves
by spending hundreds of billions of dollars and the lives of hundreds of our
soldiers, but we shouldn't spend a few billion helping the less fortunate among our
own people?

I may have cut too much
Scott,
I feel your pain; there are some who will never feel the pain or
understand what freedom is all about!

Why, does Bush claim we have WMD now?

Tonight, about a fifth more than you from all appearances. Tough day at

BAGHDAD (AP) - U.S. troops and guerrillas armed with mortars and
rocket-propelled grenades fought for hours in the alleyways of Fallujah on
Friday. One U.S. marine and at least five Iraqis died, including an ABC News
cameraman.
Near Tikrit on Friday, four members of the U.S.-trained Iraqi Civil Defence
Corps and three suspected rebels died during a raid by Iraqi security forces
and U.S. soldiers, the U.S. military said. Twenty-one suspected guerrillas
were captured in the raid north of Baghdad.
Footage from Associated Press Television News showed American troops in
Fallujah carrying a comrade on a stretcher shortly after an explosion during
combat. The U.S. military in Baghdad said one marine died and several were
wounded in the fighting in a city that has resisted American efforts to
pacify it since the ouster of Saddam Hussein a year ago.

Must suck to get killed by the people you just "freed". Lucky they don't
have any WMD or we'd be seeing mass deaths.
What I thought was interesting, was how there was no mention of the marine
dying fighting the Al-Quaeda.

Thanks for punctuating Greg's point, Sheryl.
You're Canadian.
It's simply not possible for you to justify action for -any- reason.

MONTREAL (CP) - The Canadian military's fight against terrorism in
Afghanistan could lead to retaliatory attacks at home, a top federal
official said Friday.
Robert Wright, national security adviser to Prime Minister Paul Martin, told
a security conference that raids by Canadian troops could have a direct
effect on the security of Canadian interests. "If our very brave soldiers
are successful in having a major incursion against al-Qaida, we'll be back
on a list (of targets)," Wright told an audience of students and security
experts.
"We don't need to wait for someone's list to know what our values are that
drive us around the world and what we have to be ready to protect."
Wright didn't say whether targets on Canadian soil could be attacked. He
refused to speak with reporters following his speech.
He told a Senate committee last month that Canada has received warnings
about terror threats to planes, although he refused to provide details.
Wright noted Friday that Canada fell off al-Qaida's list of targets when the
federal government decided not to join the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
But a suicide attack that killed Cpl. Jamie Murphy in Kabul two months ago
drove home the reality that Canadians aren't safe from terrorism.
The attack followed a raid by Canadian troops the previous week in which
several suspected terrorists and alleged drug lords were apprehended.
Martin has called the suicide attack "a cowardly act of terrorism."
Wright noted the Canadian government has spent $8 billion on security since
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.
But more needs to be done to improve intelligence as well as transportation
security, he added.

The marine did not die fighting the Al-Quaeda and no one, no one, including
Greg is trying to cheapen his death.
