"Iran is not Iraq!"
That is what shrub said in Germany today.

23. The MOO-LAHs cracked me up.
What an ass. As for Iran not being Iraq, it's not Irao or Irap either.

29. No, they certainly DON'T have nukes.
What they DO have is a nuclear reactor program,
which MIGHT be able to BEGIN creating weapons-grade fissile materials sometime in the near future,
_IF_ they decide to TRY to build nuclear weapons.

6. I think it means ...
that someone has taught the shrub that unless all 4 letters match up exactly, they're two different places.

7. And guess what: Sean Hannity said those EXACT same words tonight!
Yes, I saw some of his putrid show. (A certain person who also lives here always watches it so he can scream insults at Sean.)

All the paid-off "media" outlets simply read out the repuke talking points--they don't even feel the need to edit or expound.

11. Yes, two men who combined are the best argument I've ever seen
AGAINST evolution! Neither of them has as much as two brain cells to rub together.

9. I long ago stopped trying to figure out what he means
Most of the time, when is lips move, he's lying.

This seems to be a statement of the obvious that can mean whatever the listener wants it to mean.

In the context, he seemed to mean that the situation is quite different in Iran than it was in Iraq. I guess that means that Iran is developing nukes and is a real problem with which he doesn't know how deal, whereas Iraq was a paper tiger that he knew damn good and well would have had problems against a drill team from a boys military academy and simply provided a neurotic coward with the opportunity to pose as a war president.

18. LOL. I think Dubya has to stop himself from calling them
ragheads. "Fortunate Son," records the time Dubya flew over Israel and joked how he wanted to stop by and tell everyone down there they won't be saved. Iranians and Iraqis, what's the difference, Dubya thinks, they won't be saved! (Pure evil crap!)

15. and I hated the way he said it--
as if someone had been trying to say that Iran and Iraq were the same--and he was refuting it. It is so arrogant--makes the listener feel as if they did something wrong. He was exactly the same way at the debates, and is exactly this way in press conferences. Like he's the only one who knows anything, and he has to patiently explain it to us children.

Man, does that guy ever need a shrink!

17. Classic Chimp.
As Mark Crispin Miller points out, Chimp often says things that sound idiotic (and often are) but are really wierd freudian windows into his thinking. I think what chimp was saying what the generals, world leaders, and his sane political advisors are telling him--you're a dope if you're thinking about invading iran since, at every level, it'll be a lot different than invading iraq."

30. He is trying to school the bush voters
Alan Jackson the freeper country singer actually has a "patriotic song" about 9-11 where he sings "I don't know the difference between Iraq and Iran..."

Fucking retards.

33. Yeah, Iran has an "n" while
Iraq has a "q". It's Dubya's way of practicing the alphabet-- he has to keep straight which countries he's decided to invade. Can be darn confusing sometimes.
