Bush Vows to End 'Tyranny in Our World' (puke alert)

[meow2u3]

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) sought in his second inaugural speech to define his new term as a fight for freedom in every nation with the "ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world." At home, he urged a divided nation to find the unity it had felt after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Looking ahead to history's judgment, Bush asked two questions in his speech Thursday from the Capitol steps: "Did our generation advance the cause of freedom? And did our character bring credit to that cause?"

How can a tyrant in the US end tyranny in the world? That's like a drug kingpin demanding tougher drug laws!

[ramapo]

1. What a bunch of crap

How can anybody take this stuff seriously anymore?

[Emboldened Chimp]

2. Ok, then resign

[bowens43]

3. So he's going to resign?

Or doesn't US tyranny count?

[Vincardog]

4. Message to W resign or be impeached

[Cocoa]

5. does the Saudi Royal Family know about this?

[hector459]

30. Does Musharaff know this?

Do the American people know this?

[Maraya1969]

6. Does all this remind anyone else of Nazi Germany?

This "ending tyranny around the world" by killing off everyone who doesn't look like YOU?

[liberal N proud]

7. Expect the opposite Tyranny from with in the regime.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[durablend]

8. Sounds like OJ Simspon

Still looking for the "real" killer when he's really the person in the mirror!

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. It's official

Bush is a Neo Con, if anybody had any doubts

[GarySeven]

10. And to do that, it is necessary that we live in a police state

The gangsters are in charge and this time there will be no saving the wholesale shredding of our Constitutional liberties.

[aden_nak]

11. He took a vow of suicide?

[daleo]

12. This is just cover propaganda for expanding the American Empire

Fine words have often led to the death of millions.

[dbonds]

13. Does that mean he is resigning?

[sakabatou]

14. There's no f-ing way he can do that.

He'd have to perform harakiri to get rid of ALL tyranny.

[genieroze]

15. Bush Vows to End 'Tyranny in Our World? I he resigning? eom

[0rganism]

16. oh holy shit we're going to invade everyone now

"More work is needed, the president said, to both protect America from future attacks and to advance its ideals in other parts of the world — a mission he said was the 'calling of our time.' "

Yep, it's smelling a bit like 1939 already.

"Bush said America does not want to impose 'our own style of government on the unwilling.'"

Of course. Our various occupational authorities and puppet governments will hardly resemble the dissent-ridden constitutional representative democracy still permitted to exist in the Fatherland. Naturally, other parts of his speech deal with quenching dissent locally...

"'We have known divisions, which must be healed to move forward in great purposes and I will strive in good faith to heal them,' he said, adding that he did not believe the separations defined the nation."

It's not going to be pretty, folks. We've got a serious shitstorm coming down the pipe.

[ClintonTyree]

35. "adding that he did not believe the separations.....................

defined the nation".
Well, there you have it. What King George BELIEVES to be reality, IS reality; for him anyway. He's another one of that group of people who would rather believe than think.
Believing makes it so. No need to think my way out of this, I BELIEVE! Just as he believes that everything is going fantastically in Iraq. Just as he believes that taking this country into a fiscal downward death spiral will fill the coffers with unbelievable wealth.
History will be the ultimate judge of this tyrant, and I do not BELIEVE it will view him kindly.

[egoprofit]

38. seriously this is retarded

president bush reminds me of some spoiled little kid who wants his friend's toys. is he serious? will he think before he acts? it's a sad day when you seriously doubt the integrity of your own government!! this is the new america?!

[ckramer]

17. Ho Hum, it only means this - More War And Death!

[ckramer]

18. Whom does Bush think he is?

20. We're all in favor of the end of tyranny.

There isn't anyone here who doesn't wish the United States adopted it as a policy. We just are absolutely certain Bush doesn't give a damn about tyranny since he hasn't done a single thing to work toward its end.

Can I have a sip of your KoolAid?

[semillama]

21. War is NEVER the only way.

it can be the last resort.


Take Iraq - please!

[midnight armadillo]

22. Too bad the US has no credibility on tyranny

Remember the El Salvador death squads? Remember Pinochet in Chile? Remember engineering coups against democracies in Iran and Venezuela? Remember destroying vietnam to save it? Remember bombing Cambodia and then backing the Khmer Rouge? Remember the vicious reppresive monarchy of Saudi Arabia, our good 'friends'?

Remember our own history of slavery, genocide against the Native Americans, and racism?

Sometimes the only way to defeat tyranny is to stop FUNDING and SUPPORTING it!

[dethl]

23. We must stop being tyrranical first..

When you invade a defenseless country in the name of "freedom" you don't kill 15,000+ innocent civilians in the process.

EDIT: fixed grammar

[ckramer]

24. A Bush war to end all Wars?

Haha, too funny

[Niccolo_Macchiavelli]

26. ummm let's say those words out of bushs mouth are as credible as...

if Mussolini had uttered them. And replacing a dictatorial regime by a US occupation is hardly a improvement.

But if you insist that killing (thats what war is about) will foster love... tell me what dope you smoke

[tabasco]

33. I thought republicans said the US shouldn't be the police force...

of the world.

Oh right, that's when Clinton was President. I suppose we'll be invading the dictatorships in Saudi Arabia and China next. Great news!

War does suck, especially when you're in it.

INFANTRY VET

57. I remembered hearing that, a LOT. Went to get a link referring to it.

Found this immediately, with something else quite interesting in it. William Colby recommended reducing the Defense budget! This is a transcript from some show:

NARRATOR: William Colby, the respected director of the Central Intelligence Agency during the second Nixon administra-tion, thinks US military spending should be cut significantly.

WILLIAM COLBY: Well, I've been maintaining for some time now that our defense budget could safely and modestly be cut to one-half what it was in the later days of the cold war.

INTERVIEWER: Half of $300 billion?

Mr. COLBY: Yes.
(snip)

Mr. CLARKE: Well, I see the United States as being rather schizophrenic. On the one hand, we see lots of politicians saying we can no longer be the world's policeman; global cop is out. But we still see this huge defense expenditure. We see $250-, $280 billion a year going out for defense. And the only reason that can be justified is if the United States is, in fact, wanting still to be the global cop. It strikes me that there is a schizo-phrenia here and people need to decide which side of the fence they need to come down on.

NARRATOR: Pentagon officials say they don't want America to play the role of world policeman, yet a world policeman-kind-of-military force is exactly the kind of military President Clinton is planning.
(snip/...)

http://www.cdi.org/adm/708/

These people surely didn't seem to think Clinton was shortchanging the military budget, of which he has been accused steadily since _Bush assumed the pResidency.

Who could possibly believe these pathetic, congenital liars, after watching them work for a few years? My God.

[ClintonTyree]

39. Incite war on a country that has not attacked us...........

has no WMDs contrary to what our inglorious leader told us? This is not the way to end tyranny. You don't end tyranny by killing thousands upon thousands of their people for no good reason. You don't end tyranny by invading countries and stealing their natural resources.
There is a little known (these days) ploy called Diplomacy. Statesmanship is as foreign to this cement headed jackass as is accountability.
Yes, sometimes war is the only way. But when you attack a sovereign nation that has not attacked you, that is brutish, illegal and arrogant.

[bpilgrim]

46. the same thing imperial japan said during WWII

with their GEACPS program in AISA.

they promised to bring PEACE, PROSPERITY and SECURITY to the whole region... we're a bit more ambitious apparently.

peace

[LynnTheDem]

53. ROTFL!!!

I don't think so. :D

[Anakin Skywalker]

56. Many Tyrants are Right Here in the U.S.

You know, the holier-than-thou types who believe (yes, believe! NOT think) we are all beneath them and so they must be the enforcers of "morals". What about them? One reason they haven't acted up like the examples you gave is because they don't have sufficient number. But they are legislating. Maybe they have more patience than Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany.......

[tinnypriv]

58. You forgot to name some

Like Columbia, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan etc, the killing fields of East Timor and Indonesia, the tyranny of Romania, the terror bombing of Dresden and Tokyo, the conquest of the Philippines...

Oh wait, they're all US allies, were allies, or are actions carried out by the US. Hence, something you've forgotten.

[Judi Lynn]

64. Particularly hard to overlook, Bush's friendship with Uzbekistan's Pres.

Islam Karimov, shown here shaking hands with the man who stole Al Gore's Presidency:



Here's a source showing Bush, Rumsfeld, Powell, Tommy Franks, Douglas Feith, and Victoria Clark all united in cementing relationships with Uzbekistan:

http://www.thememoryhole.org/pol/us-and-uz.htm

Bush's friend, Karimov runs an administration which is so "not soft on crime" he has BOILED prisoners to death.

For anyone who doubts this happened, here's a good long look at the beneficiaries of this bold, firm approach to "terrorists."
To DU'ers who really DON'T want to see tortured victems, don't look at this site. I'm not kidding. If your rage is stronger than your squeamishness, fell free.
http://www.thenausea.com/elements/uzbekistan/tortures.html

You have to wonder just how goddawful a "tyrant" would have to be to summons outrage in _Bush's brave, compassionate humanitarian heart.

[tinnypriv]

67. That was a little bit of a storm

Over here in the UK, when our Ambassador to Tashkent made public his objections to boiling people, torturing people, running sham elections, etc.

Tony Blair (or somebody in his politburo) responded by first trying to mount a smear campaign against him (accusations of sexual harassment and the like), and when that didn't work, had him fired (technically, brought back to shift papers in the Westminister toilets).

Apparently MI6/5, CIA etc (even Mossad) maintain close co-operation with this Saddam-style psycho. No doubt in 15 years we'll have to "defend ourselves" from this tyranny when it stops obeying orders; its not tyranny now, because we're backing it of course.

[The Doctor.]

59. You're right, and soon it will be the "ONLY WAY" to deal with

Iran.

But don't you worry, there'll be some kind of catalyzing event to roll us into that one - something REALLY neat!

Iran has already started to bend over backwards to comply with non-proliferation rules.

Sure they probably have some enriched uranium somewhere, but even if they turn it over, we'll ask for 'the rest of it'.

Then something terrible will happen to us and we'll say it had something to do with them.

They'll swear upside-down, sideways, backwards, inside-out, and on Allah's balls that they had nothing to do with it.

Then we will show the 'proof' (courtesy of the Office of Special Plans) that they had a hand, or they harbor those that did.
This will be followed by a rain of Massive Ordinance Air Burst bombs on various targets in Iran and subsequent invasion from two fronts.

Oh, and of course there will be a draft instated due to the heinous nature of the 'crime' perpetrated 'by them' 'against us'.

[wildwww2]

65. How can Bu$h end tyranny? A pretzel kicked his freaking ass.

Bu$h`s grandfather Prescott Bu$h financed Hitler. And Bu$h uses Hitler style propaganda and tactics. And I won`t forget it either. I had friends that died in Vietnam and that was a war crime like Iraq. And was also pursued on a batch of lies. War does suck. But needless war crimes suck even more. And only a lying idiot like Bu$h would think it was the ONLY WAY.
Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President

25. Charity begins at home

[The_Casual_Observer]

27. As he says this, riot gear thugs were dragging little lady protesters

away in chains. Up your ass bush, hope a massive heart failure brings some cosmic "tyranny" on you.

[aquart]

28. That means "total dictatorship."

What fun.

[Megahurtz]

29. What a pompous ass.

He's just so full of himself.

[Judi Lynn]

31. Interesting that he has suddenly changed the focus from "terrorists"

to "tyrants."

What the hell happened to all the turrists? Did the tyrants eat them?

[killbotfactory]

32. A humble man

He's off to a pretty piss-poor start.

[theresistance]

34. The first step would be for some regime change

in the White House

[njdemocrat106]

36. "The Ultimate Goal of Ending Tyranny in Our World"

Doublespeak for "4 more years! 4 more wars!"

[zann725]

37. My thought exactly! If he ends Tyranny, he'd have to depose himself!

n/t :crazy:

[MADem]

40. This is the new WORD, peeps!

Anyone remember AXIS of EVIL? The "T" word is replacing it. If you watched Condi's apologia before the Senate committee, she used the expression "OUTPOSTS OF TYRANNY" in her nonsensical statement to the members.

Alas, this means the definition of TYRANNY will have to be changed in dictionaries all over the world to mean any actions by any nation or entity that the weecowboy and his crew does not like....

Edit: typo

[rodeodance]

41. Dick Durbin, Sen, Dem, IL on cpan now agreeing with Bush and "freedoms"

He thought the speech was great.

[glitch]

42. Have they put him on suicide watch? nt

[geniph]

43. Hooray! The Chimperor announces his abdication!

...oh, he didn't?

Fuck.

[Logiola]

44. he will replace tyranny with

American Hegemony

[MockSwede]

45. End it now....

* to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. Holding hands with 'girlie man' Shitzenholenfucker!

[jokerman93]

47. I've run out of outrage

He's talking in code to his cult. That's about all it amounts to. The whole world is onto him. I just wonder if Bush realizes what deep sh*t he's in. Doesn't appear to.

It's all too weird.

[superconnected]

48. Mcdonalds vows to make the world safer for cows

by installing electric fences that don't zap continuously.
...same difference.

[michael_1166]

49. If Bush

wants to be at the forefront of ending tyranny in this world he should resign immediately and ask for psychotherapeutic help.

[superconnected]

50. what it comes down to is he means just he opposite

He just said he's going to attempt world domination.

Interpreting it the other way is a democratic, not a republican interpretation. He's speaking repug.

[NYC]

61. World domination

is exactly what I got out of that speech.

[V Lee]

51. So that means the neo-cons are going to be kicked out ...

... on their Imperialist asses?

So, he's going to end tyranny by spreading US tyranny?

I get it, it's like "saving" the forests by cutting down all the trees, or "freeing" Iraqis by killing them, or "preserving" our freedoms by taking them away, or "defending" America by putting the country in more danger! Yea! Now I get it!

[pinniped]

52. FU *!...the nation will continue to be divided under your sorry a$$.

I will never unite under that POS even if I'm standing here in a pile of rubble of what used to be the USA.

Go ahead and plan another domestic attack, hopefully they will get sloppy and get caught red-handed.

[EndElectoral]

54. I guess that means Saudi Arabia and China are next!

[Anakin Skywalker]

55. That is Just Code Words for

"We are gonna practice redneck mantra and invade a whole bunch more other countries til we occupy most of the world."

F*** you, chickenhawks!

[Vidar]

60. He can end tyranny by swallowing a pistol.

[superconnected]

62. they're going to call it the Healthy World Initative

The increase in tax dollars for social security is going to fund it.

the plan is to keep haliburtin, carlyle and all their defense subsidairys busy for the next 4 years. Don't worry, it will trickle down to the the average people, and even the extremely poor in foreign countries. They can sell motar shells...

The only thing left to do is invest in defense. Ooops, can't ...my morals won't let me.

[psychopomp]

63. The most fascistic rally I have ever seen in the US

That catalogue of lies and calls to bring our freedom-storm to every corner of the world was openly fascistic. Anybody who is a student of fascism would be appalled to hear that speech.

[exploited]

66. tyr·an·ny

68. uh-oh

"How can a tyrant in the US end tyranny in the world? That's like a drug kingpin demanding tougher drug laws!"

They succeeded fabulously in redefining "Liberal". Here we may be seeing the beginning of a redefinition of "Democracy".

Creepy.
