So, a German ping-pong player tells me at the Stuttgarter bierfest,
"Your president is shit."

That was Saturday, just before Israel bombed Damaskas' suburbs, with Bush's followup response that Israel had a right to defend itself.

Somehow, "shit" doesn't do Bush justice.

How about "numb from the skullcap down, shoot-your-brains-out halfwit?"

2. I was in Germany on 9/11
We got nothing but sympathy from the German people. They held peace rallies in support of America. A (Muslim) waiter from Turkey expressed deep sympathies to my wife since (he said) terrorists have killed thousands of Turks in the last decade.

I cannot believe how quickly * burned up all that goodwill.

The decision to invade Iraq may go down as the worst US foreign policy decision ever.

5. Locking.

The subject of the thread has nothing to do with the content.
Please see rule #1 here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=463744

Also, this subject matter is appropriate for the Israeli/
Palestinian Affairs forum.

Thanks.
