Bush Crawford meltdown: "I grieve for every death. It breaks my heart...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

...to think about a family weeping over the loss of a loved one. I understand the anguish that some feel about uh...about the death that takes place. Um...I also have heard the voices of those saying "pull out now." And I thought about it, their cry, and their sincere desire to...(pause)...reduce the loss of life by pulling our troops out...I just...st...st..strongly disagree. Pulling the troops out would send a terrible signal to the enemy. Immediate withdrawal would...uh...would say to the Zarqawis of the world, the terrorists of the world, the bombers who take innocent life around the world, you know, "the.. the...the...the...the...United States is WEAK, and all we've gotta do is intimidate and they'll leave."

ON EDIT: Quotes around the "U.S. is weak" remarks to show that Bush is "imagining" what the "terrorists" might say, NOT saying "we need to intimidate the terrorists."

:toast:

[ET Awful]

1. Hey Shrub - what was that about bombers who take innocent life?

Have you even paid attention to the numbers of civilians killed by US Bombs?

You smirking piece of pig shit.

[opihimoimoi]

2. Karen Hughes Prolly wrote that, Took a week to memorize

[Patchuli]

3. Oh I see, we're worried about our 'image?' LOLOLOL!!

All hat, no cattle has already destroyed the image it took 200 years of good Americans to build! There's nothing "Weak" about admitting when you are WRONG! Staying in Iraq will not intimidate the enemy, it's only giving them more reason to hate us and punish us for the sins of the idiot son of an asshole squatting in our WH!

I wish he'd play macho boy on his own dime and time.

[Wickerman]

4. And all we've gotta do is intimidate and they'll leave.

uh, George, hello? Anyone in there? No, of course not. We got to intimidate? So, have we been throwing "them" pool parties in the past?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

9. No, he was "speaking in the voice of the terra-ist."

He wasn't saying "we need to intimidate the terrorists."

He's saying that if they think WE are weak, they will say that all they need to do is intimidate US and WE will leave."

:toast:

[Wickerman]

14. oh, selective reading on my part

I am SO used to him saying really stupid shit, this one seemed about right!

thanks.

:hi:

[ramapo]

5. He's a lying sack of .....

I wonder if he cracked that sneering smile of his while weeping over the latest deaths....

[shaniqua6392]

6. What Heart???

You have to have a heart in order for it to break. The Anti-Christ has no heart.

[Hidden Stillness]

7. Burn in Hell--But Always Make Sure to Check the Polls First!

That is disgusting! Disgusting! Is there no limit to this phony bastard's game-playing?

[Roland99]

8. What a statesman!!

NOT!

[otohara]

10. Another Lie

The man is incapable of telling the truth on anything.

[jojo54]

11. GAWD!!!!

Did this man ever pay attention in school past 6th grade?????:party:

[katinmn]

12. So they are claiming "progress" - that 178,000 Iraqis have been trained.

Then what the hell are we doing there? Lies, lies, lies.

Just like we are supposed to believe our money isn't going into Halliburton's pockets instead of properly arming our troops. Many of the troops that died at the beginning of Boss Hogg's vacation did so because of improperly outfitted Humvees. This shit won't stop until we stop it!
---------------------------------------------------
Here's an exerpt of the article w/the video:

So far, Rumsfeld has not publicly voiced his thoughts on when U.S. forces may be able to come home in large numbers — a decision that hinges on the level of violence and the capabilities of Iraqi security forces, which now number 178,000.

[Talismom]

13. The world knows that you don't have a heart! n/t

[Burried News]

15. Let's show them what we are made of George. Let's send our own

suicide bomber over there and blow them up. OK - now who will volunteer? Well how about Richard Perle - nobody will even recognize he is packing an extra hundred pounds of C-4 and he's always advising us to be audacious, and now that his work here is done...

And afterwards I wouldn't be surprised if in a year or so they name a square after him in Baghdad.

[readmylips]

16. If your mama had yelled 'pull out, pull out' to your pooppy....

the US and the world would not be stuck with such small bush running our country to hell....Pull out...george....this sperm has horns..

[maxsolomon]

17. deja vu?

i have the feeling i heard that 6 months ago.

[yorkiemommie1]

18. liar

no heart. no empathy. nothing but worms inside.

[leesa]

19. What an ignorant boy.

[Contrary1]

20. "I grieve for every death. It breaks my heart...

now, watch this swing!"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

21. "Now, watch this drive."

Let's not misquote Little Baby Jesus Bush, OK?

:evilgrin:

There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says: "Fool me once..." (pause) "... shame on...". (pause) "Shame on you..." (pause) "If fooled, you can't get fooled again."

What an impressive crowd: the haves, and the have-mores. Some people call you the elite, I call you my base.

Sure a dictatorship would be easier.

I'm a war President!

(on the Iraqi insurgency) They're not happy they're occupied. I wouldn't be happy if I were occupied either.

:toast:

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. Strength would be to do the right thing. Admit "NO WMD" and leave Iraq

Also integrity, honesty, compassion, you know, human characteristics.

[LEW]

23. Did anyone notice he was standing off the road

and the media was off the road also, on the other side. My first thought was it was staged to be like Sheehan.

[Fleshdancer]

24. GIVE ME ONE NAME.

Without asking the Defense Department, without asking an aide, give me one name of a fallen soldier. You don't have to tell me his/her age or rank, just give me one name Mr. President.

[DemoTex]

26. Bingo, Gloria.

He can't do it. Neither can Cheney or Condi. None of them can or will. Not even the Secretary of War, Mr. Rumsfeld. Not without coaching.

[Fleshdancer]

27. He doesn't even bother to learn the first name of a fallen soldier when

he meets with their grieving parents. If it doesn't affect him personally, he just does not care.

[Lone_Wolf]

25. A reporter should ask "Can you tell us how many soldiers died in Iraq?"

If he truly grieved for every death, he'd be able to answer the question. He's so out of touch though, he'd probably say, "A couple hunnert."

[brook]

28. He's a liar.

But then, you knew that, didn't you?

E.L. Doctorow has * pegged - "The Unfeeling President".

[tsuki]

29. B, effing, S. eom

[meow2u3]

30. STP to GWB: Do you mean you don't give a $#!t about the troops

and that stone casing where your heart ought to be is crumbling? :evilgrin:

[Evergreen Emerald]

31. blah fu*King insincere blah

He has nothing to say. He makes no sense. I am so sick and tired of his nonsensical statements given deference by the press and quoted as if they actualy mean anything. THE KING HAS NO CLOTHES

[peekaloo]

32. I'm sure he's heard "pull out now" quite a few times in his life.

stuttering motherfucker.

[howmad1]

33. Bet from Condi!

[peekaloo]

34. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[chieftain]

35. What a miserable excuse for a human being this guy is.

[Scout1071]

36. Anyone else think it's weird that they held the press conference

on the side of the road? Anyone know if they've done this before? Seemed kind of symbolic given Cindy was just down the road.

Dunno. Just thought it was curious.

[IndianaGreen]

37. Let's see Jenna and Barbara driving Humvees in Anbar province

Let's see George put someone he really cares about in harm's way.

[AntiCoup2K4]

38. "Um...I also have heard the voices of those saying pull out now.".....

And whose voice might that be, Junior?
