bush: "America will not bow down to tyrants". Well, we'll see.
He actually read that yesterday, when he was reading the words written for him to speak, he dared to utter the name of Osama and he dared to use the above ironic line.

Remember when Irony used to mean something?

2. Irony is all they've got
But I'll tell you, if something happens and the public turns and runs screaming in terror back to Bush**, I'm outta here. What will follow won't be healthy for anyone who sees through their BS and refuses to kowtow.

3. I still have a problem with that statement because
He also tells us not to question his vision, secret information and anything else with his administration. Doesn't that in essence mean he expects us to bow to him?

9. Osama demanded that our troops leave Saudi Arabia and Bush complied
Chicago Tribune April 30, 2003

Military to leave Saudi Arabia
U.S. moving amid strained relations

In-Depth Coverage By Stephen J. Hedges

Marking the end of an era, the United States will soon withdraw about 7,000 U.S. military personnel from Saudi Arabia and terminate a significant military presence there that lasted more than a decade, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced Tuesday.

Appearing at a press conference in Riyadh with Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz, Rumsfeld said the Pentagon was ordering the redeployment, which involves mostly members of the U.S. Air Force, because there no longer is a threat from deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. The changes are to take place this summer.

The Persian Gulf, Rumsfeld said, "is now a safer region because of the change in Iraq." He also said U.S. planes no longer are needed to enforce a "no-fly" zone over Iraq. American military aircraft patrolling the southern half of Iraq did so in part from Saudi Arabia.

12. And now Pakistan is offering amnesty for bin Laden ...
most likely with Bush administration approval.

Did someone call liberals "appeasers" the other day?
