Bush blames Saddam for the US attack of Iraq and says: "there is a war fatigue in America"
By John Amato Wednesday Jul 11, 2007 4:58pm
Talk about a bunch of crap oozing out of Bush's mouth today at his presser. Bush and Cheney never wanted to solve the fake Iraq threat diplomatically. He has the nerve to say it was Saddam's fault. They treated the idea of war just like a schoolyard fight between teenagers. Paul O'Neil stated in his book "The Price of Loyalty," that even before the administration took office their primary target was Iraq which was pushed by Wolfowitz. In Woodward's "Plan of Attack," it was stated that the Bushies wanted to topple Iraq and 9/11 turned into the perfect excuse to do just that. It's really interesting to read these books now after so much evidence has been finally brought to our eyes.

Q Mr. President, you started this war, a war of your choosing, and you can end it alone, today, at this point -- bring in peacekeepers, U.N. peacekeepers. Two million Iraqis have fled their country as refugees. Two million more are displaced. Thousands and thousands are dead. Don't you understand, you brought the al Qaeda into Iraq.
THE PRESIDENT: Actually, I was hoping to solve the Iraqi issue diplomatically. That's why I went to the United Nations and worked with the United Nations Security Council, which unanimously passed a resolution that said disclose, disarm or face serious consequences. That was the message, the clear message to Saddam Hussein. He chose the course.
Q Didn't we go into Iraq --
THE PRESIDENT: It was his decision to make. Obviously, it was a difficult decision for me to make, to send our brave troops, along with coalition troops, into Iraq.
First, I understand why the American people are -- you know, they're tired of the war. There is -- people are -- there is a war fatigue in America. It's affecting our psychology. I've said this before. I understand that this is an ugly war.
He also tells us that we're all just facing a bit of war fatigue. It's no mystery why he never gave Press briefings for so many years.( Here's the full transcript)
And now I'll be glad to answer a few questions, starting with Ms. Thomas.
Q Mr. President, you started this war, a war of your choosing, and you can end it alone, today, at this point -- bring in peacekeepers, U.N. peacekeepers. Two million Iraqis have fled their country as refugees. Two million more are displaced. Thousands and thousands are dead. Don't you understand, you brought the al Qaeda into Iraq.
THE PRESIDENT: Actually, I was hoping to solve the Iraqi issue diplomatically. That's why I went to the United Nations and worked with the United Nations Security Council, which unanimously passed a resolution that said disclose, disarm or face serious consequences. That was the message, the clear message to Saddam Hussein. He chose the course.
Q Didn't we go into Iraq --
THE PRESIDENT: It was his decision to make. Obviously, it was a difficult decision for me to make, to send our brave troops, along with coalition troops, into Iraq. I firmly believe the world is better off without Saddam Hussein in power. Now the fundamental question facing America is will we stand with this young democracy, will we help them achieve stability, will we help them become an ally in this war against extremists and radicals that is not only evident in Iraq, but it's evident in Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories and Afghanistan.
We're at the beginning stages of a great ideological conflict between those who yearn for peace and those who want their children to grow up in a normal, decent society, and radicals and extremists who want to impose their dark vision on people throughout the world. Iraq is obviously -- Helen, it's got the attention of the American people, as it should; this is a difficult war and it's a tough war. But as I have consistently stated throughout this presidency, it is a necessary war to secure our peace.
I find it interesting that as this young democracy has taken hold, radicals and extremists kill innocent people to stop its advance. And that ought to be a clear signal to the American people that these are dangerous people and their ambition is not just contained to Iraq. Their ambition is to continue to hurt the American people. My attitude is we ought to defeat them there so we don't have to face them here, and that we ought to defeat their ideology with a more hopeful form of government.
Terry.
Q Mr. President, you're facing a rebellion from Republican -- key Republican senators who want you to change course and begin reducing the U.S. combat role. Given the mixed report that you present today, how do you persuade Republicans to stick with you as they look ahead to the next elections?
THE PRESIDENT: A couple of things. First of all, I respect those Republicans that you're referring to. I presume you're referring to friends of mine, like Lugar -- Senator Lugar, Domenici, yes. These are good, honorable people. I've spoken to them and I listen very carefully to what they have to say.
First of all, they share my concern that a precipitous withdrawal would embolden al Qaeda. And they also understand that we can't let al Qaeda gain safe haven inside of Iraq. I appreciate their calls and I appreciate their desire to work with the White House to be in a position where we can sustain a presence in Iraq.
What I tell them is this, just what I've told you, is that as the Commander-in-Chief of the greatest military ever, I have an obligation, a sincere and serious obligation, to hear out my commander on the ground. And I will take his recommendation. And as I mentioned, to talk to Bob Gates about it, as well as the Joint Chiefs about it, as well as consult with members of the Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, as I make a decision about the way forward in Iraq.
And so I -- you know, I value the advice of those senators. I appreciate their concerns about the situation in Iraq, and I am going to continue listening to them.

Bush may have just gone NUTS!
Like a husband telling his wife, "Look what you made me do" after beating her up.
With God as my witness, I hate that little fucking twerp and the people who put him in charge.
I'll take you word that Chimpy said all that. I just can't look at that shithead's face or listen to his voice anymore.
What a lying sack of shit. This guy was born for impeachment/prosecution.
Bush never takes responsiblity for his actions. Invading a secular country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Good going chimp
I have a question, what news organization would write about a bush press conference without noting that everything said is proven to be a lie?
but a better question, why would any real news organization even send someone to cover this idiot? it is insulting to us as americans to have to watch a retarded man speak as though it understands it isn't lettuce
I don't have war fatigue. I have Bush fatigue.
I want all children to grow up normal, too. But they can't with this numbnuts in office.
What he says and what he doesn't:
But none of the Democrats that believe the same.
Let me be the first (on this forum) to say this whole story is a bold-faced lie.
I was in the gulf when we invaded. I was there.
Even I knew at that time that Saddam was scrambling to stop the invasion. He wanted to go to the table and cut a deal.
bush wanted shock and awe.
Period.
And to clarify, when I say I hate the people who put this little twat in charge, I don't mean the voters. I'm talking the behind the scene scum.
Those that voted for this clown are far too pitiful to hate.
This whole speech was carried live by the BBC here in the UK.
When is this ^&*( going to be removed from office.
With that sack of shit you are being laughed at around the world, particularly here in the UK.
Just hurry up and get him out. Start tomorrow. He is a total embarrassment.
"Actually, I was hoping to solve the Iraqi issue diplomatically."
Apparently, no one told him a diplomatic solution involves talking and compromise, not "Shock and awe"
Fucking arrogant POS. A Blight on our Nation. A hideous pus oozing disease he and his cronies are. I can't say fairer than that.
Crazier than a hootowl!
LMAO... Sometimes I feel like he can feel the noose slipping around his neck in a near future , after being found Guilty for War Crimes...
Guilty... Guilty... GUILTY!!!
That is the only rational for him and his canned "reality"
Black kettle calling names.
Bush needs intervention!
rduke @ 12:
Too bad Americans are exempt from the War Crimes court.
Russ Mason UK @ 9:
You know since about 2000, I have thought this guy was like somebody's father-if said father went around crapping on the neighbours lawn. And the father's family had to go around and apologise and clean up after him. Just. Like. That.
Yes indeed! I am sick and tired of his WARS!!!!
Bush is cancer, impeachment's the answer.
Did he refer to the congressfolk as "Republics and Democrats?"
Bush: That’s why I went to the United Nations and worked with the United Nations Security Council, which unanimously passed a resolution that said disclose, disarm or face serious consequences.
I´d say it´s fucking difficult if not completely impossible to disclose or disarm NOTHING!
#3: I just can’t look at that shithead’s face or listen to his voice anymore.
I´m with you.
Somebody has to say it: “Repeat a lie often enough and the people will believe it.” Looks like at least Dumbya has convinced himself.
He may still have six cans, but he lost the plastic thingy that holds 'em together.
This is a dark, embarrassing time for our country. Our country is so much better than this.
Or, are we. We are standing by and letting this amoral, slurring, flunky jerk run our country. Why aren't we in the streets? Why aren't Americans furioius at the needless bloodshed, loss of our troops, and needless murder of over 650,000 Iraqis?
Our country is some kind of coma. Will we come out of it?
One more thing. Of all the reporters out there, including all the male as well as female, why is Helen Thomas the only one who doesn't suffer from shriveled chicken balls?
When he says:
"We’re at the beginning stages of a great ideological conflict between those who yearn for peace and those who want their children to grow up in a normal, decent society, and radicals and extremists who want to impose their dark vision on people throughout the world."
I cant tell if he talks about al-qaida or neocons. I see no difference.
What amazed me, in the whole run-up to the war, was that if you were paying even the slightest attention, it was obvious at the time that Saddam had nothing to do with al Quaeda. He was a strong, brutal dictator who destroyed his enemies ruthlessly -- there was just no way he would let a potential rival like bin Laden into Iraq. I literally could not understand how so many people were duped into believing a connection existed. Twenty-five percent (his next approval rating maybe?), yeah, okay.
Otherwise, I'm with Truth Hurts (#3) -- I just can't stand to look at or hear that man.
And...?
Raise the call for Impeachment. Raise it louder.
Either we make a serious call and effort for impeachment, or, we are admitting to being satisfied with the sacks of shit who are running our country right now. No way!! We are better than this.
This is not the kind of President that represents the United States of America. Impeach. Now.
It must have been the longest 20 minutes of his tenure!
I long the day for this imbecile's sentence and execution for Treason of the United States of America. This idiot's legacy will be that.
Out of his FOcking MInd!! When will be IMPEACH THE SOB????
How many times today did he say we're fighting for freedom and democracy for Iraqis? Yet in his own damn back yard, he has demonstrated nothing but contempt for democratic principles and the rule of law. The American people might be stupid, but our enemies can see right through it.
Youffraita @ 23:
Blame the EXTREME RIGHT WING MAIN STREAM MEDIA (ERWMSM.)
That was just plain scary: "we are at the beginning of an ideological war": plain scary.
And, how can anyone lie like that and live with themselves. Even if he is pickled in his own Koolaid, the sheer volume of lies must be haunting.
unless+until the House has an "upper down vote" (note how this Repubic talking point mysteriously vanished@approx. 1201h,Nov 3, 07) + agrees to send the Sargeant-at- Arms to the W.H. (viz. Joe Wilson on "frogmarch"), arbusto et al will continue their crusade ( see monty python: "I fart in your general direction, english pig-dogs")
summertime......+ the arctic is meltin'
Russ Mason UK @ 9:
WE KNOW.
And our Pres corp doesn't call him on his Saddam crap...Thanks guys and gals...
"Bush you pig", WHERE IS BIN LADEN You rat, the reason why Bush attacked Iraq is not the oil not about terror it is about control here inside this Nation it's about the North American Union and its about power and money and its about YOU.
Alex Jones may also be right ask some question about 9-11 ask why ask who ask the real question. and above all other things ask about if we our in a war why are our border's opened to all?
What a jerk !!!
mill @ 21:
Because Helen Thomas is at the end of her career, not the beginning.
I really don't think a young reporter wants to throw his career away by asking questions that even the more prestigious among them are too afraid to ask.
Talk about denial. I think Bush fatigue is more the truth.
Pray he pulls a nixon, and brings the whole house of cards down on his lying little neck. The rage and frustration I feel when I hear someone calling into c-span, or one of the many conservative pundit shows, and praise this scum, ask how these moron liberals can want to be so unpatriotic, and bill clinton did this, and Bush is great that. Willful ignorance is a bitch.
(In regards to my earlier post) In other words, would you really want to lose your white collar job in Bush's America?
He believes what he's saying, that's what scares the hell out of me. Our president is a delusional messiah-wannabe but nobody will do anything about it because he can be manipulated by those who have a financial interest in upheaval in the middle east. And we, in our grotesque ignorance, voted him in. These are dark days.
a person @ 37:
You would think we would have someone intelligent enough to realize that they could make their careers with the right questions. The press are still failing us, we need more clips of questions like this , so that if those asses at fox want to have any decent clips of press events, they have to include these.
What a fucking narcistic liar!
someone please set me striaght here. As I recall, Shrub first said that we would go to war if Sadam didn't cooperate with the weapons inspectors. And then after awhile, Sadam did stop resisting and the weapons inspectors were allowed anywhere they wanted to go. Bush wanted Sadam to tell the inspectors where the weapons were, but Sadam "held out" and kept swearing that he didn't have any weapons. Bush kept calling Sadam uncooperative, even after he agreed to let the weapons inspectors anywhere they wanted to go. The weapons inspectors kept searching, no weapons. Instead of concluding that.. there were no weapons, Shrub instead concluded that Saddam wasn't cooperating. Then we went to war. This timing of the war had nothing to do with Saddam. It was Shrub's timing.
I'm amazed that Americans can't see that Bush is the real enemy of the American people, not Al Qaeda, who, were it not for Bush, would never mean us any harm. We never had any problem with Al Qaeda until Bush declared them evil
We need to get Bush out of office.
RedRocker @ 27:
No execution; the last thing we want is to make him an actual martyr, and besides, he'd just be looking forward to going home to his Lord anyway. Let's keep him in prison orange and alive on a machine as long as possible. But no gawkers or media circus.
Wow what a complete moron the murder-monkey is. One good thing is that this presser will turn more middle of the road GOP'ers against Bush.
Just the sight of this cretin makes me violently ill!
So who's keeping us there?
In order to landscape our yards we must first rip out the nasty shrubs and bushes! It looks like the shrub on this thread originated in an Iraqi mobile chemical weapons truck and if not then maybe grubs have eaten the roots.
It used to be that careers in the press were MADE - not "thrown away" - when the press had the balls to challenge power and break stories. Something is wrong with our press.
helen thomas cares about journalistic integrity, the others only care about money. why do these idiot media people ever cover this assholes press conferances, 75 percent of us could care less if we ever hear him speak again and the other 25 percent watch fox noise.
Tim in Japan @ 2:
EXACTLY what I was thinking. He is seriously delusional. A total embarrassment. I really hope he gets impeached or eventually tried for war crimes.
'Hussein didn't disarm, so I reluctantly invaded.'
'But there weren't any weapons.'
'...'
'Hello?!'
'9-11.'
Bob @ 45:
ok, bob...i agree that bush is part of the problem, but to say that al qaeda didn't have it in for us prior to bush declaring them evil is a bit misguided...they've had a hard-one for us for a long while...
Yippee Kaye'eeeeeeeee, m**********r.
Serioualy,
I think the paint in the new Press Corps room is getting to him. Sniff glue much?
One of the principal reasons why they want to "stay the course" is that so much can be hidden under "National Security"-defense appropriations, the way the money is spent, the way it's accounted for. That can all remain secret.
also, Al Qaeda is abou 7% of the insurgency, last I heard...why doesn't somebody stand up and say, "you are completely full of shit!"
The Truth Hurts @ 3:
I don't think anyone of any intelligence is listening to him any more...

Panel votes to restore Cheney funding AP - 7 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The White House scored a win Thursday on Capitol Hill after a moderate Senate Democrat broke with his party to restore funding for Vice President Dick Cheney's office.
Go to Hell, George.
[Deleted-Sitemonitor]. America is the leader of the free world for crying out loud. It can do what ever it likes. Holy Joe says we're winning the war in Iraq and that's good enough for me.......next stop Iran!!!! Get us some more oil, bitches!!!
Impeach, Indict, Imprison. Include all major players in the cheney/bush administration who had anything to do with getting us into the Iraq "war" and the crimes committed during the conduct of the "war".
Then bring them all up on war crimes, try them, and then let them pay their dues at the end of a rope - just like any common war criminal.
Kiva, I disagree, Bush IS the problem, not this phony terrorist stuff. There has been no attacks here since 9/11 so that proves all this terrorist talk by Bush is nothong but BS.
People keep missing the point. It was the perfect excuse. Think about that. Where would we be today if there had not been the perfect excuse? Remember Bush's attitude when he was reading to the kids. Did you get the impression that he already knew?
Watching a liar lying is getting more and more painful and there is no satisfaction in it. Read the article directly below this one about the MURDER OF A MILLION. That is the truer picture of what we are up to in Iraq. While Bush is spouting familiar nonsense, the Democrats in Congress are practically all equally guilty of the murder of Iraqis, wantonly, senselessly, carelessly, cravenly, without a drop of conscience. That is the first hard truth we mostly don't want to perceive. The next one is that so few of us, liberals included, progressives too, have the will or the desire to begin to speak up about it. And virtually no one wants to actually do anything that might end the slaughter in Iraq or the next slaughter in Iran. Personally, I feel there is a great benefit in prayer and asking for forgiveness, for we are all grossly guilty and silent.
sigh
diplomatically
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!
Bush is Making America Safer
In March 2007, undercover investigators from the US Government Accountability Office set up a false company and obtained a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that would have allowed them to buy the radioactive materials needed for dirty bomb. According to the GAO report, NRC officials did not visit the company or attempt to personally interview its executives. Instead, within 28 days, the NRC mailed the license to the West Virginia postal box. Upon receipt of the license, GAO officials were able to easily modify its stipulations, and remove a limit on the amount of radioactive material they could buy. A spokesman for the NRC said that the agency considered the radioactive devices a "lower-level threat," even though a bomb built with the materials could have contaminated an area about the length of a city block.
Kiva @ 55:
I just find it hard to believe that the same group that attacked the USS Cole, carried out the 1993 TWC bombing, the embassy bombings in Kenya and the Khobar Towers, was the same that attacked us on 9/11.
In comparison to 9/11 all the other attacks where like amateur night. So, what changed?
How were they so successful in carrying out such an attack? Whoever flew those plains were obviously well trained pilots. It's clear that months of preparation went into planning them. How could all that take place under the FBI's and CIA's watchful eye? It doesn't make sense.
That's what I'd like to know.
Note to Republicans.
You think you got shit now? Wait till 2008. By that time, Shrub will probably be drooling more that stammering. The endless war will have far more casualties, and...if Bin Laden is still not captured...you got nothing but deep shit.
And you can thank your own arrogance and ignorance (and mindless Bush-Family-worship)
L.A. Confidential @ 69:
The Commission
The NRC is headed by five Commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for five-year terms. One of them is designated by the President to be the Chairman and official spokesperson of the Commission.
http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/organization/commfuncdesc.html
If the Bush-Cheney lie based invasion were going according to plan, meaning stealing Iraq's oil with minimum casualties, Bush would be strutting across an aircraft carrier in his flight suit every other week under a Mission Accomplished banner taking full credit for the war. Now that the war is going to hell in a handbasket and taking this country with it, it's all Saddam's fault.
I truly loathe this son of a bitch and all his henchmen. The only difference between Saddam and the Bush regime is Saddam didn't get by with his crimes whereas we're stuck with our thug until Jan 2009.
The little engine that couldn't.
He must wake up in a cold sweat every night when somewhere deep in that pea-sized brain of his a voice calls out, “You are in way over your head in this role, you fucking moron!”
Either that or he is such a narcosis that he is incapable of thinking that he is a total failure.
If I hear him refer to Iraq as a "young democracy" one more time, I'll puke. If that's a young democracy, i sure as hell don't want to see a mature one. Democracy my ass. What a lying liar. He's so good at it.
...make that "thugs"...I forgot about Cheney.
How must it feel to be a Muslim and hear the BUSH code for "We are going to fight Islam all over the world because they mostly are sitting on top of our oil and besides, their religion is wicked and evil and we are the inheritors of the lost Crusades."
That is what I hear when I hear this: "these are dangerous people and their ambition is not just contained to Iraq. Their ambition is to continue to hurt the American people. My attitude is we ought to defeat them there so we don’t have to face them here, and that we ought to defeat their ideology with a more hopeful form of government."
No one in Iraq attacked the USA. Doesn't that matter?????

a person @ 40:
What a suck-ass thing to say (sorry). Oh look, I have a good job, so pass the Koolaid. Make sure mine is extra-laced, OK? I wanna be a total automaton servant of the reich. It's a job. If it is distasteful, by all means pack it in today, and find something else. What's the end result, we became slaves in a dictatorship because we needed our pay cheques to go shopping at Walmart. Geez.
The Fuck couldn't win a war even after the U.N. disarmed the 'enemy.'
Why is this guy still around?
Bob @ 65:
I respectfully point you toward bin Laden's declaration of 'war' against us in 96..bombing of the cole, embassy, etc. We occupy holy land and they want us gone. bush has just made thing worse not only on the terrorism front, but at home as well.
I agree that Bush plays the scare card...but to say that they aren't really a threat is untrue.
@#18 -- Yes, he said "Republics." I had to play that section a few times because I didn't believe my ears. But then again, nothing should surprise me at this point. War fatigue? Yes. Idiocy fatigue? Definitely.
I hope this once great country can recover from this sadistic, fucking psychopathic, coked-out, drunken idiot.
It's been nearly six years since those attacks on U.S. soil and now a report cited in the AP today says that Al-Quaida has completely "regrouped" despite every U.S. attempt to quell it.
Explain to me how the Bush-led war in Iraq, spying on U.S. citizens, assualt on our democratic Constitution, and creating a national xenophobic paranoia has helped do anything more than weaken us internally and in the eyes of those against whom we so desperately wish to protect ourselves?
The War on Terrorism has only been a War on Us.
Saddam Hussein wasn't responsible for 9/11. Bush is so over-the-top that he's not responsible either. We must, as a nation, stop this idiotic partisanship and find a way out of the muck our current adminstration continues pull us down into.
How?
I'm going to have to listen to this transcript when I get home from work because I'm DYING to hear his say "precipitous withdrawal". Did he say it correctly or did he sound like a drunken schoolboy talking about his Friday night date?
Missing the bigger story:
Bush spent several minutes blaming Tommy Franks for the early miscalculations re troop levels. So much for avoiding the blame game. But you know what? Who gives a shit. This guy and his co-president Cheney are racing the clock before impeachment or excommunication to Crawford, which is worse than jail--unless you're an enemy combatant.
This must be a transcription typo. What he was saying was...
"...it is a necessary war to secure our piece."
Well said Mill. I don't honestly know either. I get sick of hearing that although our government (current and past) initiates horrific polices, the American people are still "good, decent people, etc" but somehow ignorant of these atrocities. Really? Are we? That is a tough one to square with the facts. Frankly, I have had enough of our tacit complicity and or, in the case of 29 percent of our population, overt support for these people/policies. I am seriously contemplating a move to another country. If we proceed along the same path, the world will surely turn against us. I have decided that I am not one who is willing to stand up for a bully and smash the little brown people if/when they retaliate in mass. I'm pretty sure I am in a tiny minority. Are there good people in the US? absolutely. Are there good people in any country? Absolutely.
I think we have reached the point of no return. I believe the greatest experiment in democracy/quest for human freedom ended about 20 years ago. The empire that remains in its place cannot sustain itself in the long term and will likely either be confronted on a massive scale (from the outside) or implode under its own weight (internal rebellion). Near term oil shortages will exponentially precipitate this
I hope to hold out until after the 2008 elections. Assuming Nader will run, and if he recieves a sizable percentage (10--20 percent) I will continue to stay and fight for the continuation of our republic and the beautiful ideals which established it.
Either Bush "the insane," or Bush "the liar." Pick 'em.
And why would they do that?
...then we will have another republican president.
So Bush attacked Iraq because they wouldn't 'disarm'??
First of all, the inspectors on the ground couldn't find any weapons of mass destruction and none have been found since. But facts never get in the way of Bush.
How many times did Bush twist the truth, cherry pick intelligence and outright lie... remember the aluminum tubes? the mushroom clouds, and the 'we know where the weapons are' All unsubstantiated, all false.
Bush can go fu.ck himself.
As far as I'm concerned, he's an iligitimate president. Him, Cheney and the rest of his gangs are criminals and should be arrested. They are corrupt from head to toe, using the religious right like a puppet. They are all liars and killers of our sons and daughter.
AConfederacyofDunces @ 90:
I can't figure it out--I'm from Miami-Dade County. By the way, nice going assholes. Couldn't figure out the ballot = World War III, loss of Lousiana, raising oceans. Schmucks. Read the directions next time.
Talk about the absolute height of arrogant hubris, HE sent coalition troops into Iraq? And here all this time I thought that Tony Blair was running the British Army. Wow.
g dam right it was sadams misfortune to be bushes patsy for the fake 911,
"It ain't a lie if you tell it enough...no WMD's, well you know that's just TOUGH!"
from Wackiavelli's "Mislead the People, Mislead the Sheeple"
The man is a sociopath and mentally unstable. He's in his own frickin' world without regard to anyone else. Bush would sell his mother if he thought it would increase his approval rating. We need to get rid of the coward. IMPEACH the SOB.
Kiva @ 82:
Bin Laden is just some one that the republicans or the ones who control them found down at the terrorist temp agency looking for work. They made this guy and have always controlled him. He is the hand that the magician wants you to watch.
The Chimp is delusional. The DC Madame’s hookers must have infected Chimp and half of Washington’s politicians and press with syphilis and they are now showing signs of the advanced stage-three of the disease.
What is needed is a crop-duster loaded with penicillin to make a few passes down Pennsylvania Ave.
Chimpy McFucknuts can go fuck himself. The message is not working, Chimpy! Try a new lie! We've heard these before!
He's insane. He's a psychopath. The words coming out of his mouth stink of the shitpile that floats in the place his brain should be.
Cythraul @ 92:
Yes, correct Cythraul. What will it take though to have a true opposition party? I don't think anyone can honestly say we have that (or have). As a Michigander, I am absolutely ashamed of Levin and Conyers and these are two of the relative best. I really don't think I can bring myself to vote for anymore Dems, (excepting pursuance of impeachment).
This presser was depressing.
The press corp, once again, asked meek questions or failed to ask the right questions. Only one question asked about Scooter Libby with no followup. Not a SINGLE question about Harriet Myers being ordered not to testify to Congress, or his general refusal to cooperate with investigations, and possible contempt of Congress.
When Bush suggested Al Qaida is behind the bombings in Iraq, one reporter asked him what EVIDENCE he has that it's Al Qaida that is exploding the bombs. It was part of a two-part question, unfortunately. Bush chose to focus on the second part (a softball), and totally ignored the first part. The woman who asked the question should have followed up by saying, "Mr. President, with all due respect, you have dodged my question about evidence." Again, nothing.
I am sick and tired of the ENABLERS that comprise the White House Press Corps. If not for the ageless Helen Thomas, there wouldn't be a single spine in that room. Yes, Bush is a big problem for this country (and the world). The bigger problem? Our news media, and a lack of a truly FREE and unfettered press. So many of them are also totally clueless.
I hope Michael Moore's next movie is about the demise of America's mainstream news media. "Corporate" media is a national shame.
Bush said, "We told Saddam to disarm or else.." (not exact words here). We didn't say get rid of all arms, we specified WMDs. The didn't have WMDs, so they couldn't disarm. Therefore, we had to invade b/c they couldn't disarm because they weren't armed. Didn't anyone in the room catch that?
Sometimes I fool myself, and think, it's not that scary.
Then, I realize, the President of the United States, the man with his finger on the Nuclear Football is a completely delusional psychopath.
You could hook him up to a battery of lie detectors, and everyone one of these utterly false statements he spews would read true. That is a virtual definition of a mental illness
And, then, to top it off, there are still MILLIONS of people (28%) that think he's doing it all right.
We are SOOOOO screwed for the next 18 months.
Fuck bushie, fuck the press, fuck the republicans and fuck the democrats. They are all a bunch of shit-bags....
Bush is going for the oh, 20% who still haven't "gotten it". This conversation began in March '01.
He's now saying they'll "follow us home" conveniently to inject 100 million chips under our citizenry's skin, with docile understanding it is for our fucking "SAFETY".
The senate might just allow it when the time is ripe and the right-weighted supreme court will cinch it.
What to do then, cats & kittens?
Impeachable Offensives In Process
As we post our comments, this president is doing enough to be impeached. The Republican dido machine can not longer make the claim there has been no crimes committed so impeachment is not a valid option.
From reading most of comments posted on this site, it is fair to say
Bush committed crimes to get this war started. To here him say Saddam brought this war on himself and his people is prove Bush is psychotic. It is either that or he thinks we are without memory. I recall he told Saddam to disclose where his WMDs were. WHAT IS THE GOD DAM FACT CONCERNING WMDs? There were none. I like to stop here and ask is what Bush did up to this point, just before he invaded Iraq for Saddam's refusal to disclose where is WMD programs were, a crime? As time when on, Bush and his invading army admitted there were no WMDs, so Bush made the claim: As long as we continue to search for WMDs, the question is still open as to whether Saddam had WMDs. The rest is a matter of history.
Five years later, we are still in Iraq, and the initial reason for going to Iraq has changed, but those who want to kill Iraqis have not. They still claim WMDs are still in Iraq or a neighboring county, so they still have the right to KILL more Iraqis. When that excuse no longer worked, they changed the name of one of civil combatants to "Sunni Al Qaeda" in Iraq so they can give the impression they are doing what Americans want them to do and that is kill those who attacked us on 9/11. This was a nasty change in why we fight; so nasty, we should be able to impeach him for it.
Fact, Al Qaeda represents 2 percent of those we fight in Iraq. It just so happens Sunnis forces belong to Saddam's old government. By matching them up with Al Qaeda, Bush is now able to make the claim there was a Iraqi connection to 9/11 as evident in the strong Al Qaeda faction in Iraq. When Bush's generals have eliminated the Sunni forces, Bush would of successfully put a dent in the violence in Iraq. And the oil companies live happily for ever after.
I know it is a crime to tell the American people Al Qaeda is the main fighting force in Iraq when you have prove they are not. Bush is lying to congress, the senate, and the American people, and can be impeached for it. If our law makers would take a step back and examine the whole dynamic surrounding "Sunni Al Qaeda in Iraq, they would find there is plenty there to do the right thing.

OOh, I've figured it out. every time he "Listens very carefully" he screws up. Let's just force him down and plug up his ears.

I hope Michael Moore’s next movie is about the demise of America’s mainstream news media. “Corporate” media is a national shame.
I think this is key. If there is to be a change it MUST happen with the media's help as opposed to its opposition (allowing for and or perpetuating lies). Moores bout with GUPTA and WOLF was a prime example of how bad it really is.
somthing like 30 percent (i'm low balling this) believe WMD were found, links to al qaeda, all that crap.
Perhaps Chertoff's "gut feeling" stems from how would we react if a foreign invader attack our country killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens while trying to steal our oiL? If we are attacked again it will be the fault of Bush, Cheney the neocons and the the GOP.

After I saw F-9/11, I've slowly become more and more convinced that this was an inside job. Many of the poorly reported facts of that day and the days leading up to 9/11 are inconsistent with reality and physics and almost scream out for serious investigations . "In Plane Sight" and "Loose Change" among other videos, while still not explaining all of the inconsistencies, make the "official explanation". completely implausible. I hope that we will one day find out the truth.
Bush-Cheney and the GOP are weapons of mass destruction. Period.
[Deleted. Hey Ryan-not in the mood for this...Mkay? Sitemonitor]
From what I remember, Bushie told Saddam to cooperate with the UN weapons inspectors. Saddam did. The inspectors couldn't find any weapons, so Bushie told Saddam to tell them where they were. Saddam said he had none, and the weapons inspectors STILL couldn't find any. So, ultimately, Bushie told Saddam to leave Iraq or else. Well, Saddam didn't, probably because there was really no reason for him to leave. So, Bushie immediately sent our brave men and women into Iraq for whatever reason. And I find it very funny that since they couldn't find any WMD, he immediately suggested on bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East.
And no matter what he says, Bushie DID bring al-Qaida into Iraq.
The Champ is out.
I guess our president had to take the cock out of his mouth in order to say those most offencive words...Do me a favor Mr Bush go back to concentrating on Jeff Ganon and leave the rest of us out of it.
Bush always blames someone else for his many, many screwups and criminal acts.
seth @ 104:
Who is going to disarm our tyrant? Certainly not Nancy Pelosi!
AARRRRRRRRRGGGGHHH! He makes me puke!
Limp-Dick Blimpaugh @ 117:
He wouldn't be so completely inept if he didn't blame all his crap on somone else. That was always the stupid kids excuse in class...it wasn't me it was Jimmy...or it was my dog...or whatever, it's just a rewrite of the Led Zeppelin song "Everyone's fault but mine"
Saudi and Pakistan. No, let's invade Iraq.

Hey I'm surprised that with all the imigrants coming from Mexico that Bush didn't seal off Maine to stop the flow.
President Prickless has it wrong (again). There's BUSH fatigue in America.
Go to www.impeachbush.org
and get involved and take action. It's up to We the People, since Congress is
not going to doing anything..
Ruthless People @ 112:
That is why we have to impeach or force the resignations of these clowns. If we throw them out, THEY are the murdering crusading extremist that took over America for six or seven years. If they serve their full term, WE are the murdering crusading populace that IS America. There will be car bombs going off in this country for decades.

Basically what shrub said was a confession of his intent to invade Iraq no matter what Saddam did. The weapons inspectors said there were no WMDs and the big lie was the mobile WMD truck pictures shown by Powell. Saddam had no WMD and that was what he was to disarm. All of his beople like Baghdad Bob stated over and over that they had no WMDs.
I live in Florida where the average white trash idiot barely knows what day of the week it is.
They all think GWB is a good decent Christian that is fighting those Islamofascists.
It's incredibly painful listening to him speak or watching his face. Same goes for Blair and Australia's Howard. Horrid. Liars. Sociopaths. How will history judge this period? Well, after all, they are only Iraqis and not really worth worrying about.... witness what happened in Rwanda - it'll just fade into history as another event. How sad is that? Imagine the huge uproar if some 600,000 or 900,000 Americans were killed - huge!!
Of course, no one should be killed for these war mongers wars. They say it's about bringing peace - what bloody minded hypercrits, liars and worthless pieces of skin are they....
Oh look honey, people are rioting in the streets dragging president Bush out of the White House and dragging him to the guillotiene for betraying the constitution and starting illeagl wars of agression,...oh,...they're not? well, they ought to. Well, I'd better get to sleep now, got to get to work on time tomorrow or I'll get fired and we'll have to foreclose on the house,..
Bushy you are living in a Dream World!!!!!!
The reason people are tired and fatigued is because of you, you Butthead!!!!
I never bother to listen to this fool at all, he says nothing worthy of listening to. Did he at some point actually say that he controls the war? What monumental arrogance, he reminds me of the way people were around the beginning of the twentieth century, completely certain of their own superiority over others and convinced of their own greatness. I don't know why news outlets even bother to film his press conferences anymore, he's nothing but a broken record repeating the same lame thing over and over again.
Ruthless People @ 119:
seth, like most of the time the Press and Media are having a Nap!!!!!
Is the reporter asking him about UN involvement correct? Has anyone heard whether involving UN Peacekeepers is a possibility?
Listen to this....
There have been plenty of high crimes and misdemeanors that this BushCo has committed. I don't think I need to list them but 2 ring out like warrant less phone tapping and Plame. The video above shows that the war was a "personal vendetta" on Shrubs part. So that amounts to 3 high crimes.
The Constitution forces Congress to impeach when it becomes known that high crimes and misdemeanors were committed. If Congress fails to impeach with the knowledge of high crimes then it becomes complicate! Maybe the good citizens of the land need to point this out otherwise they will face impeachment when all of them are abolished. Personally I prefer the entire crew 100% of them being abolished and we can start from scratch. Heck our money is DESTROYED since all of the gold was gone years ago!

Hey. Did ya see "Don't forget the lyrics" last night? Awesome! You think they are going to remember the lyrics, but then *bam*, they forget them. Hilarious!
I think he's confusing "war fatigue" with "LIE fatigue."
As long as there is one more buck for Halliburton to make from Iraq, it will be the war that never ends. It will go on and on unless someone gets the nerve to end it. Bush will keep lying. Members of Congress, you hold the power of life and death for the American way of life and the Constitution. You better realize it soon and act. No one can bring back the troops and Iraqis who have died or make those whole who have been severely injured. I don't have the blood on my hands from starting the war. However, we all have to keep trying to end it or none of us is blameless.
Eamon @ 63:
how much of your brains been eaten up by that bad case of sylipphis, even the mexican army with a jolly bad of invadeing border jumpers could take over america right now, but perhaps if you were to join up now we may be saved!
the only person he has ever worked with was his golf instructor and a chainsaw for cutting brush. da hell he worked with the un.
118+ excellent comments mixed with anguish, hate, confusion, finger pointing, second guessing and that was from our Forty-turd President the right dishonerable GW Bush but, unfortunately no solutions.
Who is going to disarm our tyrant? That is the very important question posed by RP especially, when considering that this boob has eighteen more months remaining in the drivers seat. The Democrats although, in a position of power, are weak both in principal/ideals and sorely lacking in solutions. The message we sent last November has been long forgotten by all but a few (Jim Webb, Ron Paul) and the Democrats are now the problem being fully smeared with the shit stain of the Bush cabal.
Not until we as OWNERS of this nation step forward and take charge to oust them all. Recall what Thomas Jefferson the foremost Republican told us;
Oct. 12, 1786 - from a letter
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.
Mar. 4, 1801 - from his first Inaugural Address
I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions indeed generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them.
Apr. 19, 1820 - from a letter to Albert Gallatin
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
As the 2008 primary election approaches what question true patriots must decide, be they Democrat or Republican, is if this is truly the government we really want or can afford or may tolerate.
If this aberation called the United States of America continues the planet is doomed.
So, let me be sure I've got this: we went to war because Saddam wouldn't disarm and disclose weapons that he DIDN'T FREAKING HAVE. Now, the thing that the media has forgotten is that Saddam was back-channeled to us before the war, and offered to go into exile in Saudi Arabia, if we wouldn't pursue him. The Saudis were willing.
tyree @ 142:
Bush = dishonor.Sociopaths are not capable of feeling guilt and continuously use blame and scapegoating to deflect feelings of shame.
Benedict Arnold had more honor than this guy.
speaking of teddy ruxspin...
The President, "in name only" is an IDIOT in charge of leading us closer and closer to a devastation that only WE the people can clearly see. It is obvious that he does not have the same concern at heart with the common people. He thinks he does but his ACTIONS proves he does NOT.
This MAN is a Danger not only to this nation but to the Whole WORLD population. The Whole BUSH CLAN and the influencial people that put him there to do the dirty work clearly knew what they were doing. George is hallow enough not to be suaded by the majority. His stubborness and tenatious nature makes him the best dictator if there is one disguised as a President of a Freeworld.
ERWMSM will not explain it to the public exactly why they hate us. And its not for our freedoms.
It is our constant medelsom affairs in that region in order to keep them fighting amongst themselves in order to keep them oppressed so we can continually rape the oil. And keep us in a state of perpetual as an excuse for domestic tyranny.
I also keep hearing the double think comming from alot of people who are in favor of this illegal war. It goes like this. "I would gladly give up some liberties for my freedom"
This is Blind faith. Because they cannot see that liberty and freedom are the same thing.
The ERWMSM is confusing the public. And its the SHEEP being HERDED By religion who are blind.
ERWMSM is well on its way to Future Shock!
