Where is the rage?

[King Coal]

After a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Thursday, Bush said: "The taxpayers understand why it makes sense for countries that risk lives to participate in the contracts in Iraq. It's very simple. Our people risked their lives. . . . Friendly coalition folks risked their lives, and, therefore, the contracting is going to reflect that."

I thought our soldiers lost their lives because Iraq had WMD and ties to Al Qaeda. Smirk couldn't do any worse at foriegn policy if he tried.

German Chancellor Gerhardt Schroeder said "International law must apply." Our President Bush retorted: "International law? I better call my lawyer."

Does he think that is funny? And now he is sending the biggest asshole in the country to ask France, Germany, and Russia to forget the debt Iraq owes them?

1. Bush likes internation law so much that there will be war

crime trials in Iraq. Talk about hypocrascy - he shold be on the list along with his dad and Reagan.

The talk of going on the Euro for oil trade is getting louder since the dollar is dropping so much. When that happens, our economy dies. Bush is such an idiot.

2. And he

conveniently "forgets" that he is the one who has caused this mess.

3. I happened to see the 'better call my lawyer' remark

on the news. Between the remark itself, the tone of his voice and the smirk on his face it was more than alarming. Any world leader who jokes about international law is a danger to all. I can't imagine how any American can be 'proud' of this man.

5. Psychopaths love to brag about their misdeeds

6. Isn't there some way we could set * up in a "Trading Places"

switch with the Eddie Murphy character? And LEAVE him there?

[calimary]

4. What I loved was seeing the talking head repeatedly claiming

that Russia, France and Germany "sided with Saddam" and therefore are left out because when these other significant and powerful nations (like Eretria - sp? - and Micronesia for chrissakes) sided with the coalition, they deserved to divide the spoils. "Siding with Saddam." WHAT CRAP!!!

And I don't know what was worse, what the guy said, or the fact that nobody called him on it and made him stop lying and misrepresenting!

7. most folks go wit their gut, and this feels/sounds right to them

:puke:

8. tell me about it....

I heard a Rethug on CNN this morning saying that "it's a just thing to do because those countries didn't want to participate in the liberation of Iraq...they tried to block the liberation of the Iraqi people from the beginning..."

I'm yelling at the TV..."I thought the war was about WMD and disarming Iraq...BONEHEAD...liberation excuse came after they realized the were busted on the WMD issue...!"

He shouldn't blow that off...I hope he does have a lawyer...I would love to see him try and weasel his way out of this...

9. to the Repub base and neocons

International law doesn't exist, it's just an attempt by foreign nations to control the US. Flouting international law is good as far as they are concerned.

Nevermind that international law is based on treaties between nations - treaties the US signed and ratified.

10. Where is the rage?

I'm afraid we're all raged out. I get rage every damn day since selection 2000. Doesn't do any good. As long as Bush doesn't get his weiner kissed in the white house, he can do and say as he damn well pleases.

[King Coal]

12. Soloman, I guess my adrenaline trigger is just like Columbus

It wakes up in a new world everyday. Just one look at a picture of Jim Baker will set it off. Let alone a remark like that from Smirk.

[salin]

11. sad thing... the ap report about the meeting... doesn't mention

his snappy little comment. It would have been carried throughout the news wires had it been Clinton.

As would the question about abuse of tax dollars (eg overpaying, noncompetitive bids, price gouging by bushes cronies rather than competitive bidding, while services get seriously cut here.)

[Solomon]

13. Yep. They should be broadcasting this stupidity

every half-hour.

[G_j]

14. it would be an effective

clip to include in a Dem TV add.

[King Coal]

15. Great idea G_J

I like the way you think.

[G_j]

16. frankly, there is a wealth of them

"bring em on", "trifecta" those remarks about "mushroom clouds"
a treasure chest..

[King Coal]

21. How about this Dem ad

Compare the lies of Bush to Bahgdad Bob. Show them as comparable Smirks.

19. Only if the person who said it wasn't in the Imperial Family or stooges

Imperial Amerika is all about special privilege, aristocracy, and Stalin-level double-standards.

[tom_paine]

17. Anything Der Fuhrer says will be protected by Corporate TV Pravda

and of course, more than half (if not) of the Imperial Subjects of Amerika are either propgandized into Fuhrer worship or blinded by their many entertainment options into stupified docility.

Histiry repeats because people never really change much, remaining suspceptible to the same lies in every age...

18. Trust me, Ive got rage

Its inside me festering. My rage is real . Sometimes I sit and stew and feel like screaming , but mostly I just simmer on a slow rolling boil. Have you ever been cheated on by a girlfreind or a spouse? I have and its as close as I can get to explaining how I feel. I feel betrayed by my country and its citizens who stupidly contribute to their own deaths, like some puppet on a string being happily danced about,by an evil puppeteer. What can I do about such rage?

20. Sending letters to Rep. & Senators calling for impeachment...

I do believe both of his violations of international law when taken with Article VI of the US Constitution... " This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding," show his complete disregard of his oath of office. Bush violated the UN Charter when he invaded Iraq and now believes he is above international law.
