I had a completely different take on Bush’s Broader Middle East Informercial speech @ UNGA61.

http://thunderstorms.blogdrive.com/archive/491.html

“Bush said people who have hope for a future ‘are less likely to blow themselves up in suicide attacks’

Sam Harris, in a column he wrote for the LA Times, cited on Arts and Letters Daily, points out that Western culture is faced with a “death cult” whose basis has little to do with our routine analyses of terrorism, e.g., poverty, repression, lack of assimilation, occupation of Muslim homelands by “infidels”, etc… Rather, he notes the ascendancy of a strain of fundamentalist Islam that seeks paradise in the afterlife for the devout, the earthly “future” be damned; a faith-based madness that glorifies and rewards martyrdom.

“Bush said people who have hope for a future ‘are less likely to blow themselves up in suicide attacks’ “

Amazing how many more are blowing themselves up now that you are president, Mr. Bush. Now add to that number the ones who you have blown up. Are you really the president of the United States or the personal assistant to the Grim Reaper?

Quote from the Guardian coverage of the speech:

[GWB] invoked the interests of “ordinary men and women free to determine their own destiny” and expressed his desire for a world in which “the extremists are marginalised by the peaceful majority”.

Gee. me, too.  Can it happen before November?

What a board full of whiners, hypocrites and fools this is.

None of you yappers even addressed Bush’s points - just the usual personal assaults and meaningless insults.  Yeah, as much as I find Boxer objectionable, she’s smart enough to see that Bush is at least on the right side of the fence and has clear points concerning the rise of global Islamic terrorism and our indisputably justified actions in Afghanistan.  Even when his message is one of hope, you genetically pessimistic liberals still berate him simply because he’s Bush.

I’m so so glad you self-hating liberals don’t have power and, god help us, never will again.

G.W. Bush Speech

G.W. Bush in 2000 ,6 years ago, speaking with the wisdom of foresight .

I will take 30,000 of your children and fit them with prosthetics so they can walk and wright again.

I promise that with the help of Cherey I will take 100.000 of your children and place their brains in a blender called post traumatic stress syndrome and make them dependents of the state, if they are not suicidal..

Then to top it off I will have 3000 dead young soldiers sent into the country secretly thought Dover to private funerals.

Now in 2006 I am asking for your vote again. Not for me but for my lockstep congressional helpers that aided in the destruction of your democracy. your privacy and your constitution.

Are you sure you are better off today than you were 6 years ago? Check again.

He is an embarrassment that I just can not put into word. “ Blessed are the peace makers,” and Mr. G. Bush will never make the grade.

This is such BULLSH*T!

If the US has “toppled the Taliban” just who is it that Canadian and British troops, as part of NATO in the Kandahar area have been in pitched battle with for months… losing soldiers almost every day… FOUR were blasted to kingdom come yesterday alone by a suicide bomber.

Anyone, or any country, that believes even ONE WORD that comes out of George Bush’s mouth, is a COMPLETE FOOL, and deserves all the screwing he/she gets.

Kirk in another posting wrote: “So this is what it’s like to live under the rule of a king.”

Let’s not tar all royalty with the same stereotypical brush, Kirk. Sure, there have been some kings and queens who were just as stupid and screwed up as GWB but at least most of them had an excuse - inbreeding!

But there were many who took their job seriously and did a lot of good work with and for their people. One quick example is King Alfred the Great of England (849-899) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_the_Great) who, according to Melvyn Bragg in his “Adventure of English,” is almost single-handedly responsible for what we call today the ENGLISH LANGUAGE! King Alfred did more in his less than 30 year reign, under immensely more difficult circumstances, than George W. Bush could even dream of doing.

And let’s not even get into a pissing contest between the competency, honesty and dedication to duty demonstrated by Elizabeth II compared to almost any other head of state on the planet, let alone GWB.

George W. Bush’s “reign” will prove to be the most embarrassing and detrimental debacle in all USA history to date.

What nerve the liar-in-chief has to take his sorry old propaganda in front of those people at the UN. He is as deluded as the President of Iraq was when spouting his fundamentalist crap this evening. The fact that they gave the lunatic President of Iraq a prime time CNN spot over the lunatic President of the United States indicates who’s bull shit rates with the UN.

>the heroin has never been better!

how long must will people pretending that this criminal piece of shit is a competent president?

Barbara Boxer was first Dem I heard respond to Bushboys’ speech at the UN. First few sentences she “agreed with most of the Presidents’ points” it’s hard to keep hope alive when the speaker for the Dems agrees with the Chimp. She next said we have to keep “all options, including military,” on the table.  Crap.

The man no longer has any credibility. I really wish the president could mobilize the UN in Darfur, but coming from Bush this obviously rings hollow. And that was the best part of his speech. These days, it sucks to be United States-an.

Bush is capable only of reciting speeches written for him by professional speech writers.
Compare that to his tantrums or jibberish in interviews when he has to improvise. 
That there are people left who can consider him a “strong leader” is a reflection on them.

So this is what it’s like to live under the rule of a king.

ok, here’s the first response.
YOU, boy, are not the president of the US-you’re just some filthy rich son of a CIA killer who saw no reason not to recast the world through your own racist murders.
YOU, boy, hate the UN, just like all your klan buddies down in Texas and Alabama ( remember all those KKK meetings you went to when you were AWOL ? )
So, SHUT UP, boy, turn yourself in.
You’ll stop trembling when you do. What you’re trying to do is impossible. We know your a blood-lusting sociopath who does not know what dignity means, but we’re going to stop you at some point. The US no longer has the clout to get away with these black ops-because of you.

bush speaks for americans, who must all be deluded cretins

In a book called “ Frog to princes” the author claims that if you believe a lie then it will become true. Bush believes that he can lie himself to the truth.  But its still a lie. I wish Bush was a lie.
