BUSH EVOKES FORD: "TALIBAN NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE"
George Bush said yesterday that the "Taliban is no longer in existence," underscoring the point that he isn't being straight with the American people about his wrong choices in Iraq and Afghanistan.

TODAY:

Taliban forces are larger, more aggressive and better armed and organized than at any time since the end of 2001, says Defense Minister Abdur Rahim Wardak: "They have more men, equipment, money, better explosives and remote-controlled detonators." Worse yet, he says, there are "strong indications" that Al Qaeda has brought in a team of Arab instructors from Iraq to teach the latest insurgent techniques to the Taliban.

1. Gerald Ford 1976:

"There is no Soviet dominance of Eastern Europe."

:rofl:

[Terran]

6. That remark made headlines back then.

If * says something similarly stupid now, we hardly notice. It's just part of the background noise now. Sigh.

[hvn_nbr_2]

15. It's not so much that we don't notice any more

It's more that we don't even know about it because the GOPPravda doesn't even report it now.

[etherealtruth]

2. New Orleans has been completely rebuilt

The Chimp cares about poor people.
:sarcasm:

[Sydnie]

3. He is betting the house on our collective 30 second short term memory

He is keeping us all so busy trying to figure out how we are going to feed, clothe, house and educate ourselves and our children and our parents. He is counting on the fact that most of the public can't remember what they had for lunch two days ago, much less what he said a year ago.

He thinks we are stupid.

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. IWO he's banking on us being as stupid and as short term memory

impaired as he is.

[Inland]

9. As Molly Ivins said,

Bush's problem isn't that he's so stupid. It's that he thinks we are.

[progressoid]

18. Molly's mostly right.

The problem is that a lot of us are stupid.

[eissa]

23. And it's the one time he's been right n/t

[dogday]

4. Someone needs to write him a note

12. Here's another thing that pisses me off.....

That phucking idiot can say the STUPIDEST shit,and then the media whores will repeat it over and over and run their damn ticker tapes at the bottom of the screen repeating his insane remarks all day and all night,like he said something of real importance. Every single day we get mind phucked by that little bastard while he giggles and sneers in photo-ops like he is king george.He is a national nightmare. There seems to be no end to his madness,he just keeps going and going and going like the energizer bunny. Phuck him. I'll ALWAYS hate that creep and hope the worst possible shit happens to him. :grr:

[truth2power]

14. EXCELLENT rant!! eom

[killbotfactory]

13. I expect nothing less from Bubble Boy

Gotta get past that "media filter"

[phusion]

16. When was this said?

I think this is kind of old, unless Bush repeated himself...

Here's a column from Paul Krugman on 10/01/04:

http://www.pkarchive.org/column/100104.html

""As a result of the American military," President Bush declared last week, "the Taliban is no longer in existence."

It's unclear whether Mr. Bush misspoke, or whether he really is that clueless. But his claim was in keeping with his re-election strategy, demonstrated once again in last night's debate: a president who has done immense damage to America's position in the world hopes to brazen it out by claiming that failure is success."

Either way, Bush is still a jackass. :argh:

[BlueJac]

17. GW and his state of denial.....

the loser lives in a fantasy land!!
