Bully on the pulpit

Has an American president ever delivered such a bafflingly impertinent speech before the General Assembly as the one George W. Bush gave this morning?

Here were the world's foreign ministers and heads of state, anxiously awaiting some sign of an American concession to realism—even the sketchiest outline of a plan to share not just the burden but the power of postwar occupation in Iraq. And Bush gave them nothing, in some ways less than nothing.

1. World to Bush....drop dead..

I think they have a better shot...

[gratuitous]

2. Drop dead, but first . . .

Give me a lot of money, men and materiel.

Is it true that if you look up "incompetent" in the dictionary, there's a picture of President Stupidhead?

[liberalmuse]

3. I was going to read the transcript...

but couldn't get through the first few paragraphs. What a load of shit! How embarrassing!

[sandnsea]

4. Scathing commentary

I haven't been too impressed with Kaplan's war commentaries, if memory serves. To have him come out with this piece is a real indictment of Bush. They're pretty near finished.

5. Were the dollar to drop another 30% as has been indicated as likely, would

not the world will be telling us to drop dead financially?

[damnraddem]

6. Par for the course.

Considering that Dubya is in a giant sand trap that he defied the UN and his allies to hit into.

7. Better headline "Chicken Hawk Lays Egg At UN" eom

8. That so-called "speech"

was dissected rather handily this morning on www.wsws.org

"Bush came before the body as an unrepentant war criminal, whose actions had violated the UN Charter and international law by waging a war of aggression as criminal and unprovoked as those carried out by the Hitlerite regime in Germany more than 60 years ago."
