Bush Issues Forceful Words to Iran, Syria [SORRY, DUPE]

[tuvor]

BRUSSELS, Belgium - President Bush (news - web sites), on a trip to thaw relations with Europe, prodded Russia not turn its back on democratic advances. He also demanded that Iran give up its nuclear ambitions and told Syria to withdraw its troops from Lebanon.

Bush's speech, during his five-day trip to Belgium, Germany and Slovakia, was aimed at both U.S. and European audiences. "In a new century, the alliance of America and Europe is the main pillar of our security," he said.

He uses the word "alliance" 12 times in the speech to underscore his aim to repair relations with Europe that were frayed over the war in Iraq (news - web sites). But not all his speech was conciliatory.

The president has been pushing Russian President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites) — some say not strongly enough — to work toward, not away from, democratic reforms and transparency in government.

2. so if the American European "alliance" was all so important

why did you and your running dog lackeys and your trained whores in the media spend the last 4 years pissing on it from a great height.

The man has to be mentally ill - you can't act like this and be sane. You just can't.

3. Check out what he says to Russia!

"We must always remind Russia that our alliance stands for a free press, a vital opposition, the sharing of power and the rule of law. The United States should place democratic reform at the heart of their dialogue with Russia."

What a freaking hypocrite!

4. They just smile, nod their heads,

and clap mildly to the speech. When he's done, however, they call each other on the phone and discuss Bush. They wonder if there are any clues in his speech about maybe bombing Iran or Syria next.

They completely ignore his "democracy" statements. They know he's full of s***.

Bush feels big and proud on his big day. He's got everyone's attention, all right. But not the kind he imagines.
