Reporter to Bush: "Will you be in Iraq on January 30. If not, why?"

[NightOwwl]

Ha! Don't I wish. But seriously, considering that Bush keeps saying how wonderful everything is over there and democracy must prevail and blah blah blah....

I know reporters are terribly afraid of offending the Boy King (except Helen Thomas), but it's not like this is an insulting question. The only reason B*sh might take offense is because he's *gasp* lying about the situation in Iraq or something! So why won't he be there offering his support to the Iraqi people on election day?

And why hasn't one reporter asked him? Damn liberal media! x(

[two gun sid]

1. It's not the will

of the American people.

[Taxloss]

2. He should be canvassing, door to door.

Y'know a get out the vote effort. Don't want a low turnout! In Arghanistan, it was more than 100%, so that's quite a score to beat! Besides, most people support the invasion and the violence is exaggerated, so what does he have to fear?

[NightOwwl]

7. Or why not a public speech in Baghdad?

They'll throw flower petals at his feet. :evilgrin:

[Taxloss]

9. Absolutely. nt

[StephanieMarie]

3. Don't you love that Kerry went to Bagdad?

Who's the coward now?

[Pirate Smile]

4. and Mosul and Fallujah.

[imenja]

5. Yeah! Why isn't he manning a polling booth?

I love it. Put your life where your mouth is.

[DebinTx]

6. He doesn't want to give the appearance of controlling the elections

even though the Iraqis know he does. Check out some of the Iraqi blogs - they know. This will be a problem for the neocons when the Iraqis don't acknowledge their "elected" leader.

[imenja]

8. Do the Iraqi blogs project a particular winner? n/t

[Sal Minella]

16. The winner is probably already Chalabi

if they're using ESS & Diebold machines. Chalabi is the one Negroponte had annointed until somebody realized he was being paid $350,000 a month for fictional "intelligence."

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. I hear Chalabi found religion

and has joined up with the Shites. That would align Iraq with axis of evil member Iran. What the heck is Boy George and the Neocons going to do now? Somehow they'll have to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

[imenja]

18. I doubt they are using machines

plus, the UN is supervising the elections. No ESS.

[NightOwwl]

10. Either that or he's a quivering, spineless, gutless coward.

I'll go with the quivering, spineless, gutless coward.

[snippy]

11. He probably thinks that he has another man date on January 30. n/t

[forgethell]

12. What do you think

would be the significance of his being there, or not??

Just curious, but I see no relevance at all to anything.

[NightOwwl]

14. See post #5...

the last sentence says it all.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

19. The man has a history of not showing up. He's a chickenshit, never gonna

be anything else - TANG is a good example. He is not about to do anything that might be remotely honorable or dangerous. Kerry has done both. Don'tcha know that BushyBot and Rove just hated those pics of Kerry in the Middle East?

editted for typo

[EC]

13. I'm really getting surprised

by the reporters questions lately...Even Thursday when asking if there is going to be election reform and what were they going to do to prevent more Florida's and Ohio's...

[Sal Minella]

15. He has a note from Poppy saying he doesn't have to go.

My guess is G.aWol.B. will be hard to find on Jan. 30.
