Bush Says Free World Not Intimidated by Beheadings

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush on Tuesday urged South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun not to be intimidated by Iraqi militants who beheaded a South Korean hostage.

"I haven't had a chance to speak to President Roh yet, but I would hope that President Roh would understand that the free world cannot be intimidated by the brutal action of these barbaric people," Bush told reporters after the 33-year-old Kim Sun-il's body was found.

The group, which kidnapped Kim on June 17, had demanded Seoul withdraw some 670 military medics and engineers from Iraq and drop plans to send 3,000 more troops. South Korea had rejected the demand, noting the troops were to help rebuild Iraq and not for offensive operations.

"See, what they are trying to do is they are trying to shake our will and our confidence. They are trying to get us to withdraw from the world so that they can impose their dark vision on people," Bush said.

1. As opposed to PNAC's "dark vision on people."

President Roh should follow Spain and leave.

[Geo55]

19. Yeah....

That's the ticket ! .....the "vision thing".........dark

[NewYorkerfromMass]

26. That would be PNAC's vision on "dark" people

or: non-Americans.

[lucky777]

2. Korean students are pretty well organized and vocal

Let's hope they force South Korea out of there.

[Cicero]

10. Are you kidding?

Can you say "nuclear firestorm"??? Or, "nu-cue-lar firestorm", as Bush 43 would???

:nuke:I:nuke:R:nuke:A:nuke:Q:nuke:

Later,

[Judi Lynn]

11. Absolutely! He feels just fine, personally.

Do they think they can bring HIM down? Oh, nossir. Not as long as he is safely sheltered in the world's most protected structure!

He could do this bogus war standing on his head! Whatta brave, brave pResident.




On edit:


Dad following, as the kid heads off onto the plantings.

[Mithras61]

4. Headline should read...

"Bush Not Intimidated by Koreans Being Beheaded."

[ItsThePeopleStupid]

5. translation: if you withdraw you're a sissy

unlike us, the Rambo of the free world.

Can't * make a rational argument for anything? Why is it that somebody's manhood is always being tested?

[Tellurian]

6. What an embarrassment..

He is to our country. Shouldn't Bush be expressing his condolences to the slain victim's family and to the President of S.Korea?

instead, Bush triangulates with a message concerning hodge podge!

"See, what they are trying to do is they are trying to shake our will and our confidence. They are trying to get us to withdraw from the world so that they can impose their dark vision on people," Bush said.

Fearing the coalition troops will start leaving in droves.

"In order to impose their vision, they want us to leave. They want us to cower in the face of their brutal killings, and the United States will not be intimidated by these people, because we believe strongly in freedom and liberty and human rights and human dignity. ... And I believe President Roh understands that," Bush added.

Then Bush puts words into the mouth of a man he hasn't even talked with yet!

Bush has lost it, he's over the top!

[ItsThePeopleStupid]

24. He sounds like Captain Queeg

Picture Humphrey Bogart twirling metal balls with his fingers:
"See, what they are trying to do is they are trying to shake our will and our confidence. They are trying to get us to withdraw from the world so that they can impose their dark vision on people" (clack clack)

[Tellurian]

35. I didn't know Queeg had a twin brother?

[geek tragedy]

8. With all of the shit going on with N. Korea,

this is not the kind of thing to push on the South Koreans.

Does he want to destroy EVERY friendship/alliance the US has?

[BootinUp]

9. Bang that war drum Bushie, its the one thing you do so well

sorry to say.

[Eurobabe]

41. * is 'King' of conventional government

instead of looking at root causes, let's go to war over symptoms. fundamental flaw of the west, maybe. takes a thinker to look underneath the hood.

[denverbill]

12. Yeah. We're not afraid. "Bring it on dudes!!!" n/t

[David Zephyr]

30. Same Immediate Response, Denverbill.

All he needed to add was, "Bring it on."

Bush is, like all bullies, a loud mouth coward.

[Tellurian]

13. How many more will be asked to die for Bush? nt

[SeattleDem]

14. what makes him qualified to speak on behalf of the free world?

what gall! what nerve! He is president of THIS country (or so I'm told), not Supreme Ruler of the World. He shouldn't be speaking on behalf of all of mankind.

[Snoggera]

15. "I haven't had a chance to speak to President Roh yet,"

What, has he been taking a long nappiepoo? The Great Leader of the World hasn't had a chance to talk to the Pres of SK yet? Maybe, because he doesn't particularly want to?

[SidDithers]

22. Roh not taking his call?

"Who? Bush? Ahhh, emm, tell him I just ran out to the store, and I'll call him back in a few minutes..."

Sid

[justjones]

16. In other words, Bush not intimidated as long as it's not his head! nt

Edited for typo.

[AntiSmirk]

17. Indeed!

Brave, brave Chimpy will not be intimidated by others losing their heads.

[Rex]

18. Bush DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE FREE WORLD!

George Bush is the BIGGEST TERRORIST ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH! Someone please inform the media.

[radfringe]

20. uh-huh... he was also asked about the tortures

and still can't pronounce Abu Ghraib -- he called it Abu Gray-ab...

:eyes:

[pinniped]

21. Well,...

someone better tell the anti-occupation coalition in Iraq not to harm the S. Koreans.:crazy:
---------
South Korea had rejected the demand, noting the troops were to help rebuild Iraq and not for offensive operations.
---------

[mac56]

23. Sounds like another version of "Bring it on".

nm

[Gingersnapsback]

25. It is only intimidating

when it is your head they are chopping off. Just because they intimidated his daddy, we've sacrificed countless thousands of men boys and babies.

[Gingersnapsback]

27. Sorry, I left out the brave women who have been terrorized

by this evil war.

[saigon68]

29. "BRING IT ON" shouted the AWOL CHIMPANZEE

In this case he's challenging his friends to kill a few more "RAG HEADS"

[Hand]

43. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" shrieked the prep-school pussy...

...and the blood still flows.

:mad:

[randome]

28. I'm intimidated.

[tom_paine]

31. How the HELL would Bunnypants* know what the Free World would accept?

It's not like Imperial Amerika belongs to that group of nations anymore.

And Bunnypants* is the one who "took us out" of that group, as he has done for so many others.

[tjwash]

32. Yep. This from the jerk that said "bring it on"

Of course he isn't intimidated. It's not him, or any of his that are going out there and putting their asses on the line.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

33. Ha. Bush is an expert in withdrawing from the world

between coke and booze he's well practiced.
Meanwhile, it's not him getting his head cut off.

[randr]

34. B*s' best (only) friends, the saudis,

behead people at about the same rate that B* had people executed in Texas.
Birds of a feather etal

[Magleetis]

36. The people doing the beheadings

are obviously not intimidated by the American killing machine.

[Nihil]

37. He thinks it's a trailer for "Kill Bill (volume 3)"

Though that type of film really doesn't appeal to me, there is one
beheading that I would willingly watch ... if only ... <sigh>

(That act would save so much suffering and pain throughout the world)

[Carolab]

38. If we accept the assumption that

"the free world cannot be intimidated by the brutal action of these barbaric people"

...can the barbaric world be intimidated by the brutal actions of the "free world"?

[Swamp Rat]

39. Révolution française?

The "dark vision" is his own, in light of the fact he "doesn't read." Apparently he didn't study history.

[Barkley]

40. Bring 'em on!

Cried the AWOL Chimp!

[yellowcanine]

42. I love the way * thinks he has the moral authority to instruct Roh, an

elected president, about how he should respond to the murder of one of his citizens. What an insensitive dweeb he is.

[Catfight]

44. Bush is just so damn stupid, it's the same crap over and over again.

His constant pontification of dark, evil, Satan, bad people, hell, tortures, whatever, is he really a person? He's so damn stupid. Oh yes, and those bad people are trying to shake our will again! Well then for Christ f'nk sakes, let's not show anymore beheading to the masses since dumbya can put a stop to it. I'm counting down the days to get rid of this huge scar on America's history!

[ynot]

45. He's the blame

I wonder if it ever dawned on him that he is responsible and will one day be held accountable for his asinine decisions, if not in this world, it the next. That he can be assured.

[Snoggera]

46. Another take on the story!

From The Daily Farce:

http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/usstate/usnation.htm


In an effort to show the world that America is determined to win the war on terror, President Bush announced this morning that the United States along with all countries of the free world, except Spain, are not intimidated by the resent rash of beheadings in Iraq by terrorists.

"First of all, when I said, 'bring it on', I was only kidding." Stated President Bush, "Second, the terrorist need to understand that I'm not intimidated by these horrific acts. Third, I would like to announce that starting today I will not be traveling to the Middle East any longer. In fact, I've cancelled all my trips anywhere in the world. This has nothing to do with the beheadings. They do not intimidate me. I will send as many soldiers as it takes to win this war in Iraq, however, I need to stay here in the White House so that I can make great decisions."

[hunter]

47. Bush lost his head a long time ago...

... the one above his shoulders is a dummy, so what does he care?
