"A political theater" created was no more blatant as witnessed at the White House

[IChing]

His speech was late because he needed actors and stage props behind him.

UNFucking believable.

[soothsayer]

1. chimpy uses human shields! coward.

[RiverStone]

16. And all Shrub can do now is..

throw a temper tantrum.

Reminds me of a spoiled brat that is used to always getting his way - NO MORE!!!!!! :applause:

[butterfly77]

2. You said it ...

this ignoramus really thinks that his base is stupid if they believe the photo op he just staged...

[niyad]

3. actors and stage props is far more likely than actual military families.

[librechik]

4. Try as we might, we'll never beat Schiavo for political theater

the Pukkkes are the best jackasses around for making a spectacle out of a tragedy.

[Botany]

5. Leni Reifenstahl would be proud

Sell the image because "the real product" is so horrid.

[ShortnFiery]

6. Don't you love it how Dimson uses the troops as a back drop when he wishes to talk tough?

Bet they had to screen their audience thoroughly because even the majority of the Active Duty Military believe that we can NOT win in Iraq. It's time for The Executive Branch to have a full taste of reality. :grr:

Gee, I can hardly wait to hear Tweety gush more platitudes based on his new "man crush" for our Idiot King. :eyes:

Stay Strong, Democratic Representatives. Your constituents want a democratic republic NOT an Unitary Executive running our country for the backwash that is the 30% of *Authority ADORING* Americans.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. The term "political theater" is reminiscent of Abbie Hoffman and

Jerry Rubin.

[yellowcanine]

8. Your "political thearer" is chimpy's "photo-op." No shame at all to be had here.

[IChing]

9. Can anyone post the speech & picture here so we can rip it good?

I'm am willing to bet that some of the props were secretaries and government workers
because of delay of the speech to get them in costume

They are proablable not that stupid, but hey, they might be.

President Bush Discusses Iraq War Emergency Supplemental
Diplomatic Reception Room



2:00 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Today I'm joined here at the White House by veterans, family members of people serving in combat, family members of those who have sacrificed. I am honored that they have joined me here today.

Here in Washington, members of both parties recognize that our most solemn responsibility is to support our troops in the war on terror. Yet, today, a narrow majority in the House of Representatives advocated its responsibility by passing a war spending bill that has no chance of becoming law, and brings us no closer to getting our troops the resources they need to do their job.

The purpose of the emergency war spending bill I requested was to provide our troops with vital funding. Instead, Democrats in the House, in an act of political theater, voted to substitute their judgment for that of our military commanders on the ground in Iraq. They set rigid restrictions that will require an army of lawyers to interpret. They set an arbitrary date for withdrawal without regard for conditions on the ground. And they tacked on billions for pet projects that have nothing to do with winning the war on terror. This bill has too much pork, too many conditions and an artificial timetable for withdrawal.

As I have made clear for weeks, I will veto it if it comes to my desk. And because the vote in the House was so close, it is clear that my veto would be sustained. Today's action in the House does only one thing: it delays the delivering of vital resources for our troops. A narrow majority has decided to take this course, just as General Petraeus and his troops are carrying out a new strategy to help the Iraqis secure their capital city.

Amid the real challenges in Iraq, we're beginning to see some signs of progress. Yet, to score political points, the Democratic majority in the House has shown it is willing to undermine the gains our troops are making on the ground.

Democrats want to make clear that they oppose the war in Iraq. They have made their point. For some, that is not enough. These Democrats believe that the longer they can delay funding for our troops, the more likely they are to force me to accept restrictions on our commanders, an artificial timetable for withdrawal, and their pet spending projects. This is not going to happen. Our men and women in uniform need these emergency war funds. The Secretary of Defense has warned that if Congress does not approve the emergency funding for our troops by April the 15th, our men and women in uniform will face significant disruptions, and so would their families.

The Democrats have sent their message, now it's time to send their money. This is an important moment -- a decision for the new leaders in Congress. Our men in women in uniform should not have to worry that politicians in Washington will deny them the funds and the flexibility they need to win. Congress needs to send me a clean bill that I can sign without delay. I expect Congress to do its duty and to fund our troops, and so do the American people -- and so do the good men and women standing with me here today.

Thank you for your time.

12. And his current task in the Oval office...

14. *Breaking News* -- Gonzo tells all... Chimpy dismayed

[IChing]

13. thanks

Just kidding

I'm going over the speech now.

[Rob H.]

15. Thanks for posting this.

:)

"...House of Representatives advocated its responsibility..."

Did he really say advocated? The word is abrogated, monkey-boy.

"...voted to substitute their judgment for that of our military commanders on the ground in Iraq."

*cough* Rumsfeld *coughcough*

"And they tacked on billions for pet projects that have nothing to do with winning the war on terror."

According to the Sam Seder Show this morning, some of that money was set to be used to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. "Pet projects," indeed. :eyes:

17. Snort

nice catch

Yet, today, a narrow majority in the House of Representatives advocated its responsibility by passing a
war spending bill that has no chance of becoming law, ............

save the text above and see how fast the W.H. corrects it. :rofl:

But hey at least they are both verbs that start w/ an "a."

[WinkyDink]

10. That's exactly WHY his psychopathic mind made him use that term.

And no, I don't think he consciously grasps the irony.
