Bush is making americans look like idiots in his speech

[Kamika]

What is this "with finding saddams mass graves we saw his real cruelty" (not exact quote but pretty much like this)

What the hell does that mean? is he implying we thought saddam was great before? if someone had asked me 1998 or so if saddam had massgraves I would have said hell yeah ofcourse he has. It doesnt take killing a bunch of civilians to figure that out.

I cant believe how ppl buy this crap, if the US had been so eager to intervene against cruel rulers he could have taken action asson as he came to office even clinton would have done something.. ofcourse we knew there were massgraves before.. we just didnt give a hoot


edit: spelling

1. For the most part, he's right

(making us look like idiots, that is). Never thought I'd agree with that sumbitch

2. how many mass graves will they find 10 years from now?

and how many of them will be filled with bodies that WE killed?

:shrug:


don't expect FOX to tell us...

3. his speech stood out among the others

It made the United States look very violent and vindictive. Not just the words, but the delivery.

Even when discussing the most "humanitarian" part, the sex trade, it had the feeling of smoking the bad guys out, more than about any kind of compassion for the victims. Plus, if you think about it for two seconds it all comes crashing down. There's no way in hell Bush cares about this. It's just a device which might have worked for him before, but no way anymore. Bush has been exposed as a big zero.

4. "Finding Saddam's mass graves..."

"...filled with people killed in 1991 when they rose up agaisnt him with my father's encouragement, but without his military support. Those poor rubes died because they couldn't read between the lines and figure out Poppy wanted a coup, not a real revolution. But they did not die in vain, because their mass grave is a first-rate prop for the cameras, since I don't have any WMDs to show (but will, eventually)."

5. and the fact that there are those who still support and/or believe

anything proves that there are indeed many American idiots out there... which is scary. :scared:

6. Micronesia is going after W on global warming

"those bearing the responsibilities must take the leadership in solving it....Mr.President I have to ask you Where is that leadersip?"

[leftwingnut]

8. micronesia???

oh yeah...one of our 'coalition' partners...how could I forget...

7. 25,000 dead from our invasion

will fill a few mass graves as well

9. His followers don't NEED him to help make them look like idiots

All they have to do is support him, and believe everything he says, even when he contradicts himself.

Kinda like the poster boy for Republican Family Values, thrice-married Rus . . . oh, never mind.
