Bush appeals for public support
From: Reuters From correspondents in San Diego
August 31, 2005

PRESIDENT George W Bush, facing waning support for his Iraq policy, today appealed to Americans not to waver because of the rising death toll and said US credibility was at stake.

With nearly 1900 US troops killed in Iraq and anti-war protesters trailing him from his secluded Texas ranch to California, Mr Bush has seen his job approval ratings plummet to the lowest levels of his presidency.
In a speech in which he sought to cast the conflict as the modern day equivalent of America's World War II struggle against Japan, Mr Bush said Americans "once again" had a stark choice to make.

"Now as then our enemies have made their fight a test of American credibility and resolve. Now as then they are trying to intimidate free people and break our will," Mr Bush said.

1. In a related story, NOLA victims of Katrina appeal for help ...

but no one seems to be listening to them either. :-(

[Roland99]

38. :(

[Kenroy]

2. He's got a little

nation-building at home he should be worried about.

[saigon68]

55. Those people are poor and in his eyes lazy

He is proud of how he at worked hard and succeeded.

His opinion is, they are worthless, lazy minority slugs and to hell with them

[datadiva]

3. Got news for ya

Mr. Bush, your credibility was gone a long time ago. :mad:

[cliss]

4. I can't believe this man.

Here we're facing a major catastrophe and he talks about Iraq. The southern states are sorely missing the National Guard, which was sent to Iraq.

This disaster is just opening up. We're just in the initial stages. Bush needs to change the channel and focus on THE U.S. Stupid fool.

Nobody is going to pay any attention to him.

[smirkymonkey]

57. He is positively the most disgusting "thing" on the face of the earth.

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BELIEVE the nerve of this pig. It's mindboggling. I feel physically sick just thinking about this.

[1932]

5. "Public appeals for Bush's support"

Too bad he's so distracted by the needs of the wealthy.

[givemebackmycountry]

6. HOW ABOUT THE FREE PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS?

And Gulfport you ignorant, insensitive BASTARD!

FUCK YOU, AND FUCK YOUR WAR!!!

Man, even that doesn't make me feel any better tonight.

This freaking guy is SUCH a loser.

[Raster]

7. mr. bush, you will go down in history as the miserable failure you are.

You were NEVER elected by the will and law of the people. Your pResidency has been nothing but a giveaway to the corporate interests that supported you, your father and the insufferable raygun. May you all rot in hell for your crimes against this great country. History will not be kind. And well so.

[Joyce78]

17. How about Bush rots now

and then in Hell!

[Joyce78]

8. He's appealing to Americans to make generous contriBUSHons

Perhaps he could set a personal example of an American generous contribution ...

[tuvor]

9. Reading the subject line, I thought he was appealing for N.O. support.

Not support for the war he picked.

[Joyce78]

14. "Working Vacation"?

Returning to the WH to oversee the actual Gulf probs? He'll be at Camp Cocaine overseeing his Golf probs.

[ninkasi]

20. So did I!

The miserable son of a bitch has completely lost any last shred of sanity, if he ever had any to begin with. People here, in our country, are dead, dying, homeless, and frightened. They are in a state of shock. So what does this pathetic man do? He tries to drum up support for his fucking war, which is taking our men and women away from their homes and families, killing and maiming them, and impoverishing the rest of us.

My husband and I have been in front of the t.v. most of the day, both of us crying. The pain and shock in people's faces is all too evident. Does the president care? HELL NO! He's so obsessed with his war, that everything else is invisible to him. On these grounds alone, he should be impeached, and that is the very least of the penalties he should pay. Spending the rest of his wretched life in prison should be his fate.

[saigon68]

31. Its project "drum up support to kill Islamics"

Or some other version of hell from this insane War Criminal and Hoodlum

[DELUSIONAL]

30. That's what I thought also when I saw the subject line

[daleo]

10. New Orleans is washing away and he can talk about his war?

Amazing, simply amazing.

[leftchick]

33. I thought the headline meant he was refering to NO

he is a total fucktard. It is too bad the folks suffering right now in the south can't hear this lying moran who does not give one shit for them. It is all about his oil war people!!!!

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. It appears that bush has too many balls in the air.

[NV Whino]

22. Well, they're certainly not where they should be.

[Olney Blue]

12. I thought the post was about supporting our fellow citizens

devastated in the South.

Silly me! It was about supporting HIS war in Iraq.

[Jersey Devil]

24. He is totally disconnected

Jesus, he won't vary from his political agenda even now?

[texpatriot2004]

13. No Georgie, You're wrong and you're EVIL...and so is your war!

May all your appeals fall on deaf ears you ignorant failure. You, the thief in chief, appeal all you want. You lied! You misled Congress, America and all of the world with your lies. Forget it! It's over. You're house of cards is falling down all around you...go and cry to mommy and daddy...they can't fix it this time. Your name will be mud. You'll go down in history as the WORST ever "president" - too selfish and self-centered to care about the people you are supposed to govern. You and your administration WILL FAIL! In fact, you are already FAILING! May all your insane appeals fall on deaf ears! May Americans see you for the thieving, lying, cheating, scum that you are. I see impeachment in your future! What poetic justice that will be!

[Joyce78]

16. If Your Message Is a Petition To Our Democratic Leaders

to send a letter to him, TELL ME WHERE TO SIGN!!
You've articulated many of my thoughts.

[texpatriot2004]

18. Hmm, that's a good idea. Lately I have been thinking of writing

a petition and gathering signatures. A real petition with real sigs. The way I see it, "We the people" ought to be able to impeach this SOB if our government won't. I know there's the website impeachbush.org I know that they have many, many supporters. So, surely, if our "representative" government fails to represent us, then we ought to be able to do it ourselves. At least until BushCo changes the laws so that we no longer have these rights. For now, the power of our government is, theoretically, in the people. So, what are we waiting for? I think we could do it. Although, I actually think it could happen anyway. Lots of people say that it won't b/c of all the Rethugs have control. It's true that our government's checks and balances have failed miserably. Nonetheless, I think that Chimpy is becoming a political leper...and politicians will abandon him in a heartbeat to preserve their own backsides. Just a thought.

[dweller]

15. here's your reply, you frickin' halfwit loser *moron

Down in the Flood
Crash on the levee, mama,
Water's gonna overflow,
Swamp's gonna rise,
No boat's gonna row.
Now, you can train on down
To Williams Point,
You can bust your feet,
You can rock this joint.
But oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend
now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Now, don't you try an' move me,
You're just gonna lose.
There's a crash on the levee
And, mama, you've been refused.
Well, it's sugar for sugar
And salt for salt,
If you go down in the flood,
It's gonna be your own fault.
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Well, that high tide's risin',
Mama, don't you let me down.
Pack up your suitcase,
Mama, don't you make a sound.
Now, it's king for king,
Queen for queen,
It's gonna be the meanest flood
That anybody's seen.
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

crash and burn you evil chimp.
:mad:

[wli]

19. Well, he's not going to get it. To the Hague with him! n/t

[progressivebydesign]

21. Oh. I seriously thought it was about the Katrina victims!!

I had no idea he was still trying to drum up support for his sorry-ass quagmire. He's pathetic.

[WePurrsevere]

32. So did I... now I'm having a hard time finding the words to say how I feel

... without cussing up a blue streak. :grr:

He really is psychotic and delusional isn't he?

[NV Whino]

23. Helloooo, George?

Remember Louisiana? Remember New Orleans? Remember Mississippi? I know theyr'e harder to spell than Iraq, but....

[NVMojo]

25. FUCK YOU, BUSH!!! Where are your Christian values anyways?

[Barrett808]

26. He has the gall to invoke "American credibility" -- After WMD, after Niger

...after Nigergate, after Curveball...

Pathetic and embarrassing.

[goodboy]

27. Shades of Vietnam..."we can see the light at the end of the tunnel"

heard it before.

I think now the only way he'll get any support is to faciliate another terra attack on us.

he's cried wolf too many times.

[Hekate]

29. "The light you see is an oncoming train." Idiot in Chief

God, how much more like Marie Antoinette can this man sound? He is so utterly clueless and tone deaf to the actual needs of the American people at any given moment that it boggles my mind.

Hekate

#Why won't the Chickenhawk cross the road?#

[Check12]

28. Yea Right!

"Now as then our enemies have made their fight a test of American credibility and resolve. Now as then they are trying to intimidate free people and break our will," Mr Bush said

Like, I would want to die as a suicide bomber so that I could test American credibility and resolve. ????

I really need to break an american's will by blowing myself to tiny little bits. ????

They made their fight because you tortured their children you murdering psychopath!

[yellowcanine]

34. Eff you George. I just paid $2.96 for regular at a discount gas place.

I suppose it is all because of Katrina, huh George?

[SillyGoose]

35. This might be the single most offensive statement from this son of a bitch

that I have ever heard. I thought this was going to be about the disaster occurring in the wake of Katerina. When does this bastard plan to formally address the nation about the natural disaster affecting Americans in our own country???

:grr:

[natrat]

36. i got your support right here you fucking criminal

[ekelly]

37. Is it true....

that the ass is waiting til Friday to do a fly-over in the affected areas?

FRIDAY??????

Come on!!!!!!!!! He could at least PRETEND to care by flying over the area before then.
Ya know, like how he PRETENDS to be president.

And another thing......on the news they keep saying how shrub is cutting his vacation short to rush back to Washington to meet with agencies working on the disaster.

First of all, they make it sound like he is doing us a HUGE favor by skipping the last few days of his vacation.
Second, he didn't exactly RUSH back to Washington.

[AzDar]

39. When your "leaders" are THIS clueless....it's time to storm the

Bastille!!

[superconnected]

40. The US has credibility?

With whom?

[Akoto]

41. I sense that his end is near.

He is completely disconnected from reality. The people do not support this war, and he is NOT above the will of the people.

The fact that he's concerned about politics when an entire American city is about to become the new Atlantis further reveals how utterly evil he is.

[meganmonkey]

42. OMFG - How low can he stoop?

When I read this headline I thought it meant he was asking for us to support the victims of the hurricane.

What a fucking asshole. It's all about him.

I have never felt real hatred until this man.

[anotherdrew]

43. this has nothing - nothing in common with WW2 - what an ass

[bitchkitty]

44. Our credibility is at stake because of HIM -

in fact, it's HIS credibility at stake. Too late, Chimpie, your credibility (did you ever have any?) is gone!

It will take an exceptional leader to right this criminal's wrongs.

[Arkana]

45. "Waning?"

How about "vaporizing?" "Waning" is too weak a word to describe how the bottom has fallen out of Dubya's War.

[zara]

46. His lies, laziness, lack of foresight, duplicity, stupidity, wishful think

...ing etc. should all be forgiven because we are now stuck in a quagmire called Vietnam--I mean Iraq. The good news is, just read books like Daniel Ellsberg's Secrets and you can learn all the arguments that will be used to keep us in the quagmire for the sake of national security. : (

[MN ChimpH8R]

47. I support his immediate Chimpeachment

and removal from office, along with the rest of the Bush Crime Family. Then forced relocation to the Hague for the lot of them. I strongly support these things.

[TroglodyteScholar]

48. I think you squandered your so-called political capital, Mr. Bush...

...just like you did the good will of the rest of the world after 9/11. And now we have a disaster at home that isn't being addressed properly because you sent all our manpower and equipment halfway across the world to settle a personal vendetta and steal some oil. Impeachment and imprisonment would be too good for you at this point, you greedy, self-centered, sociopathic, sad, little man.

[tabasco]

49. "US credibility" LMAO.

Bush has done more to destroy US credibility than any President in history. How 'bout that uranium from Africa, Shrub? How 'bout those WMDs "north, east, and west" of Tikrit? How 'bout Colin Powell's bald-faced lies to the UN? Etc., etc., etc.

Bush has achieved the height of irony by announcing his defense of "US credibility."

[hatrack]

50. Pick up a bucket and start baling, asshole

Otherwise, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[hatrack]

51. Dupe - self-delete

.

[Arugula Latte]

52. Just when you think he can't possibly SUCK any more,

he SUCKS in unprecedented ways.

[0007]

53. The American "once again" has a stark choice to make,

and that is to throw George W. Bush out of our White House by any means necessary and have his crime cabal tried for War Crimes.

How can we afford to let him go any further? We're almost at the bottom now!

[liveoaktx]

54. YOU are not the US, Bush.. it's YOUR credibility, alone, at stake

[Miss Chybil]

56. He's the one who ruined our credibility, now he wants to blame us?

:grr:

[Gregorian]

58. I will support your trial at the Hague. Fully support it.

You lied. You killed. You are guilty. Time to go.
