Bush Says He Fears for Americans in Iraq

Wednesday, June 1, 2005



(06-01) 15:29 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --


President Bush said Wednesday that he doesn't spend much of his time worrying but that he does fear for Americans and others in insurgency-wracked Iraq and for the safety of his 23-year-old twin daughters.


"I spend most of my time worrying about people losing their lives in Iraq, both Americans and Iraqis," Bush told The Associated Press and other broadcasters in an interview.


He suggested he has some concerns about the implications of his high-profile position for his daughters, Jenna and Barbara.


"I worry about letting these little girls get into a situation where something unpleasant could happen to them," Bush said. "We're pretty much over the anger — not anger, the frustrations — of living in a fishbowl."

snnip...
But, Bush added: "You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly. ... I've got peace of mind."

1. Must be nice.

Wish the rest of us could say the same.

[saigon68]

65. A witless, clueless, brain dead piece of Dog Shit

He is like a cabbage in a field or a walnut on a tree, when it comes to thinking, feeling and reasoning.

[sellitman]

67. I wouldn't have been so kind.

:evilgrin:

[anotherdrew]

97. he'll never admit he was wrong

he and his advisors, wrong now, wrong in 2003, wrong in 2001, wrong in 98, wrong in 91. wrong in 68, basicly... wrong always. full time. for decades. If these men and their friends didn't sit in command of much of what's left of the economy they'd all be homeless.

[MisterP]

2. he's completely brainless!

does he even KNOW what's going on there?

[IndianaGreen]

53. brainless and clueless

What a moron!

[Hokie]

3. I actually believe the Chimp for once!

He does not worry because he never makes any decisions nor is he accountable for the ones that others make in his name. Notice how he has aged less than any pres in recent memory? This is just another chance to be the big shot and play with his buddies the game of screw everyone else.

[hector459]

96. I fear for Americans here! This regime is capable of almost anything.

eom

[biscotti]

4. He is such a

Dunce.

[leftofcool]

5. Put some camo on your daughters, you puke.............

then talk to us about your worries.

[Daphne08]

6. Well, I'm worried about my children!

When I had my sons in the late '70's and early '80's, I never DREAMED our country would be like this by the time they were young adults! :-(

[Mad_Dem_X]

72. The only kids he's worried about are his own!!

As usual, it's all about him and his.

Fuck him.

[Kurovski]

7. Spoken like a true Sociopath.

Expressing worry for the people he sent into a hell of his own making.

[burrowowl]

58. He sent them there

for reasons of corporatism and now he fears for them. Yes, he is a sociopath!

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. Draft Jenna and Barbara

If going to Iraq is good enough for Bush 1 and Bush 2, how about more Bush children?

they even forgot which state they were in

[Nihil]

71. The State of Inebriation wasn't it?

... or wasn't that what you meant?

:evilgrin:

[Supersedeas]

79. living in the smaltzy fishbowl of elitism can be such anger provoking hard

werk....

[Selteri]

9. Piece of mind, a VERY VERY small piece of a mind...

the rest disintigrate by the coke I suspect. Maybe this is why he wa so eager to protect Terri Shaivo, he didn't understand that as long as he acts like he's alive they won't keep him from eating.

[UpInArms]

19. a very very very small piece

because he has a very very small mind.

:toast:

[undeterred]

10. Laura's sharing her Xanax with him

drugs are what brought them together, what keeps them together still...

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. All things being equal, Americans fear Bush

Here and in Iraq.

[The_Casual_Observer]

12. The bush twins are unemployed and available for duty in Iraq

Rather than wasting time in NY bars, they ought to be out there promoting the cause of liberty and freedom that the dad so heartily endorses.

[cliss]

14. This man needs a frontal lobotomy.

Look at the quotes:

"I spend most of my time worrying about people losing their lives in Iraq, both Americans and Iraqis".

"You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly....I've got peace of mind".

WELL, which is it George? Either you're worrying "most of the time", or you're not.

Sheesh. Imagine, saying stuff like that, all in 1 press conference. By the way, his "little girls" are not so little anymore. Someone posted some photos of those "girls" I think it was on the DU, and I was pretty amazed.

[complain jane]

28. I thought he already had a frontal lobotomy

[proud2BlibKansan]

43. Yep

and a bottle in front of me too.

[CAG]

"I don't know if I need a frontal lobotomy or a bottle in front of me"

[CAG]

55. "I don't know if I need a frontal lobotomy or a bottle in front of me"

[Enraged_Ape]

70. I don't think he ever had a lobe to -otomy (n/t)

[Rose Siding]

15. Yeah, he's a bundle of nerves

[driver8]

17. he looks like a dumb shit in this golf picture...

probably just sent another 10,000 troops to Iraq.

[Lisa]

23. "Watch my drive! Tee-hee-hee!"

NOW he worries about what'll happen to Americans in Iraq? Pity he didn't think about that, say, back in early 2003 before he decided to rush in and invade the place.

[0007]

16. The double agent provocateur has spoken folks......

"I spend most of my time worrying about people losing their lives in Iraq, both Americans and Iraqis,"

.... "You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly. ... I've got peace of mind."

[Gin]

20. There is nothing worse than a confused shrub...

IMHO

[Amonester]

35. A blatant psychotic pattern of most pathetic liars.

First, he lies (again):

"I spend most of my time worrying about people losing their lives in Iraq, both Americans and Iraqis,"


And concludes with his "true" feelings (again):

"You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly. ... I've got peace of mind."


So... no. This war criminal doesn't care at all how many thousands died, die, and will die; he doesn't care at all how many lost limbs, lose limbs, and will; not at all how many got their skins burned, their organs poisoned, and how many lose their dignity while being tortured. Nope. As long as the money's damn good, "who cares what they think."



On edit: added last paragraph.

[Jacobin]

18. Alfred E. Bush.....What? Me Worry?

[nevergiveup]

22. Have another Jelly Bean,

Mr.President :crazy:

[Gelliebeans]

45. don't be offering me up to King Chimpy

;) he makes my skin crawl

[susu369]

24. "little girls"

excuse me...how old are the twins?

Those partying "little girls" can definitely get into situations where something unpleasant could happen to them - guess that doesn't concern bu$h or Pickles.

[jab105]

25. Maybe he shouldnt tell the insurgents to "BRING IT ON" then...

ARGH!

[sweettater]

26. Please tell me this a sick joke

I am completely dazed by this. We are in more trouble than I thought, and that is saying alot! :scared:

[peacetalksforall]

27. Me worry? Dick is taking care of the PNAC plan...The Supreme Court,

Frist, DeLay are taking care of our judicial and legislative plans...the corporations are getting what they want...except those money management corporations might not get the people's social security money. Those rapturists are never satisfied, but with my judges everywhere...the laws will be interpreted in their favor more and more. Every President has to have a war to stimulate the voters and the economy. Too bad everyone doesn't get to profit. But, that's the way it goes.

[Amonester]

39. He's sick. He needs a good medical check up...

... between his two barn doors.

[leftchick]

29. Yes indeed He always Looks Sooooo conerned....

fucking puke...



President Bush answers a reporter's question in the Oval Office of the White House Wednesday, June 1, 2005.

[obxhead]

30. how much does a "bullet proof vest" cost?

I've read (no link sorry) that we have rolled over 1 million troops through iraq. (this figure may be low or high not certain) soooo.

My guess is 5K for a top quality vest. etc.

1,000,000
X 5,000 = 5 billion

so where did the 200 billion go?

[lyonn]

31. One has to go to SFGate to get that story

The rest accept those idiot words and conclusion like it makes sense. What kind of a world is this and why doesn't this logic upset, worry, concern people? Stay tuned I guess.

[Roland99]

32. Fvck his sorry ass with a broom!

His Freudian slips are becoming more and more frequent.

His slip of the "propaganda" and now this.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

33. Moronic dithering.

[dArKeR]

54. As a friend would say, "Shit for Brains"

[grytpype]

34. Well I'm fucking glad he has piece of mind!

It would just suck if he didn't have piece of mind, this would all just be intolerable without his piece of mind!

[jazzjunkysue]

36. "Yes, God speaks to me, but, well, you know, he doesn't really speak

to me but I, I know what he wants me to do, and that he chose me in the election to do his work, so, I trust him that he trusted me that I know what's best for amerkins, an that's lots a dead muslims, cause, even though he didn't use the word muslims, I know that's what he was trying to tell me...."

[Gloria]

37. I fear for Americans in America under Bushco....

so there, you dipshit.

[Frederik]

38. Worried about his daughters

Commander Cuckoobananas doesn't spend much time worrying, but he does worry that his twin girls may experience something unpleasant. All that nasty stuff that goes on in those countries across the sea, the commander doesn't worry about that. He's got peace of mind, the commander Cuckoobananas, becuase God tells him what to do, if something needs to be done.

[bluedeminredstate]

40. I'm struck by the word

"Unpleasant." That seems a huge understatement to what could happen to a member of the first family (lower case intentional) should they come to harm in whatever manner. I think a leg waxing would be "unpleasant" but having your children in danger of any kind would be gut-wrenching, intolerable, horrifying,etc.
Reminds me of him calling the pilots of September 11 "folks."

:wtf:

[bklyncowgirl]

64. He's probably worried someone will say something nasty about Him to them

While the girls are knocking back shots in some bar.

Drunken Bar Customer: Your dad's a murderer.

Drunken Bush Daughter: My Daddy? My Daddy's the sweetest kindest man in the world and you can kiss my ass.

Secret Service Agent as Drunken Customer is hauled off to Pakistan for interrogation.

OK, girls, last round let's get out of here.

Later in the throes of hangover "Daddy, this man called you a murderer."

Bush: Don't worry sweetie, when you're a strong leader people hate you. It's hard work.

[Erika]

42. Old Man Bush & Babs felt the same about their little boys

and not one of the boys served in Vietnam. This family is so out of touch with reality that it's pathetic.

[ckramer]

41. Then why the poop U invaded Iraq and caused 101,600+ deaths?

You know, every Iraq mom got daughters just like you, poop!

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

44. Yeah, he fears they might come back and kick his ass. (n/t)

[GainesT1958]

46. He could worry a heckuva lot less...

If he'd only bring our people home!:mad:

Guess he'd still have to worry about the twins, though...:eyes:

I've got the feeling his last statement was the most accurate, unfortunately...dating back to his Yale days, he's just never given a damn!:dunce:

B-)

[IChing]

47. "You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly" but I am

"Anxious to Learn More of Deep Throat" I've got peace of mind."


if you do not see a problem with this in one day of this madman's life?

Ted Turner said
"You know, we have a lot of perverts on today"

edited for bold

[pinniped]

48. Sure the POS does.

That's why the POS has done everything possible to avoid a conflict over there.

[llmart]

49. WTF????? His "little girls"?????

There are soldiers in IraqNam younger than his "little girls". What an absolute dickwad. Have I told you lately how I can't stand this POS?

[pookieblue]

50. wait a minute

I thought that things were just 'peachy' over in Iraq. Why would he fear for lives over there? I'm confused?

Please tell me that this all just a bad dream, and I will wake up and Bush Jr will have never been office. Please someone, anyone?

[Robeson]

51. As the bumper sticker says, "Wake us up when its over"....

...its amazing that the worst President ever is going to be in the White House for 8 years...

[TankLV]

52. Then why did he start HIS war and LIE about?!?!

God how I hate that man more each passing moment!

[fortyfeetunder]

56. Really? What a concept!

I guess next he'll be feeling our pain...

[Solly Mack]

57. I'm not sure who's the bigger idiot - him or his supporters

[Itchinjim]

59. What a fucking moran.

n/t

[daleo]

60. Well, this really is behavior typical of a psychopath

On the one hand, making a statement (probably the truth):

But, Bush added: "You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly. ... I've got peace of mind."

On the other hand, remembering how normal people feel about a serious situation and attempting to mimic their emotional state by the dry recitation of the opposite statement:

"I spend most of my time worrying about people losing their lives in Iraq, both Americans and Iraqis," Bush told The Associated Press and other broadcasters in an interview.

This really is the way the mind of a psychopath works - they can't feel empathy, but they know it is useful and important to pretend to in the presence of other people.

[LynnTheDem]

61. "I spend most my time worrying"..."I don't worry all that much, frankly"..

"bush always means what he says and says what he means!"

:rofl:

[jukes]

62. his handlers

keep him too drugged to worry; plus they feed him so much rose-colored shit he hasn't a clue.

his only worries about his daughters shd be cirrhosis & STDs.

[GeorgeGist]

63. Any psychology students want to analyze this ?

"I worry about letting these little girls get into a situation where something unpleasant could happen to them," Bush said. "We're pretty much over the anger — not anger, the frustrations — of living in a fishbowl."

Emphasis mine but I never took psychology.

[Cooley Hurd]

66. Historians will have their work cut out for them writing about this ninny

...much like today's historians who write about Hitler - one hardly knows where to start.:crazy:

[valis]

68. Does he worry the daughters will continue on the alcoholic path?

Or what?

[Enraged_Ape]

69. Just when I think that Bush has reached the outer limits of stupidity...

he says mind-shattering shit like this. It's obvious that there is still unexplored territory out there.

What. A. Dumb. Motherfucker.

[trapper914]

73. And Kerry was the "flip-flopper?"

I worry...no I don't.

I worry for American lives...but I sent them to die.

I worry for Iraqi lives...but isn't this "flypaper principle" great?

[rockedthevoteinMA]

74. Screw him. Does he know what it's like to have to fear for your life

each and every day? Didn't think so. Do his twins have to worry about that? Didn't think so. Their biggest worry is salt or no salt, right?
asshat. :banghead: What did we do to end up with such a moran as our leader?

[HannibalBarca]

76. An Age where...

...the utilisation of fear and paranoia by a master of propaganda (Rove) allows a man like Bush to serve for 8 years, the dark age indeed.

[gulliver]

75. A good Dem leader would make Bush eat those words.

"You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly. ...I've got peace of mind."

He doesn't worry? All that much? Maybe he should share his secret to not worrying? Could it be that he doesn't worry because he just doesn't give a shit?

[MaineDem]

77. How dare he compare pampered lifestyle with life in Iraq!

What an absolute fuckwit!

I honestly can't believe he said this. What an ass. An ignorant fuckwit ass!

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[semillama]

78. Glad he has peace of mind, wish I did

My best friend was deployed to Iraq about a month ago. He's the CO of an EOD company, and he told me something really interesting about how they are deploying troops now. No "new" companies, brigades, etc, are to be deployed to Iraq, so the Repubs can say they aren't increasing troop strength in Iraq. Only replacement groups can be deployed - replacing a group in Iraq that is rotating out. Now, part of his company was already there, but since sending the rest of them would apparently constitute a new deployment, what the DOD does is to individually deploy each soldier, not as a company. However, they can't take their company equipment with them since on paper, the company is still stateside. what they had to do was get another company that was going over as a replacement company (and thus going to use equipment already in Iraq) to take their equipment as though it was the replacement company's.

Fucked up, no?

He sends me periodic updates. So far, thank god, no one in his company has been hurt or killed, but the whole reason they were over there was that three team leaders had been killed in one month, so the danger is ever present.

[Tux]

84. OK

Now he worries about people getting killed. Thanks, Bush. I guess the super caffinated coffee finally kicked in. Dumbass. Of course, his exit plan is to drain Iraq of oil, allow their society to collapse and say he tried.

[bucknaked]

85. wow, invokes images of...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

86. "I spend most of my time worrying about people losing their lives in Iraq"

Of course he does. You can see the anguish in his face every time he appears in public. Obviously he is deeply tormented, and that he mourns the death of each and every American and Iraqi. We see him choking up as he stands by the graves of all the soldiers whose funerals he attends... oh, wait...

[Inland]

88. Our brave man...hiding his worry...so as to not upset us....

shouldering the burden alone....

Or maybe he just doesn't give a shit.

By the way, where's Osama?

Fuckwad...

92. His only fears are

Loss of political and econonomic power and a legacy of failure.

[BrklynLiberal]

94. Asshole.

:wtf:

But, Bush added: "You know, I don't worry all that much, frankly. ... I've got peace of mind."

[bunny planet]

95. He meant to say piece of mind, a very small piece, all that's left of his

brain.
