Bush Warns of World War III, Laughs at Israel's Bombing of Syria
By SilentPatriot Tuesday Oct 16, 2007 8:02pm
The title really says it all: Hubris and Fearmongering. Two words that best describe whatever is left of the Bush legacy. David Shuster reports on Bush's latest belligerent press conference. His contempt for the press is really unprecedented.

Bush: But this -- we got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel. So I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon...
Is anyone else shocked that it was FOX's Bret Baier that elicited the "World War III" soundbyte? Me neither.

IDIOT!
Remember impeachment is off the table.

The transcript should read "New Q ler" weapon. Still hasn't got that one ironed out yet, especially after using the word knowledge..
I'm shocked.
Really.

Messianic Mad Man
Bush is mentally unstable, but what else can you expect from a sociopath?
Bush: it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon…
Shouldn't we prevent bush from having nuclear weapons? He is the one who has the itchy finger.
Yes if that madman isn't stopped, WWIII looks inevitable.
Bush/Cheney, that is.
Oh yeah. Anybody now doubt they are planning to hit Iran very soon?
I'm interested in avoiding World War III, and I know that the only way to do this is to have our president and vice president impeached! A nuclear-armed Iran will not result in a Third World War unless OUR president starts this. Seriously, we all need to yell at the idiots in this country, and have them yell at our idiot-in-chief. The only way there will be a Third World War is if OUR PRESIDENT starts it. And he apparently wants to. Why? I guess because he and his fellow nutjobs think that World War Three will mean that Jesus is coming back.
Translation:
"I'm looking forward to forcing through anything I want to happen. And if something bad happens, I'm looking forward to making sure to try to convince the American people that it was someone else's fault."
"Maariv" article - the October 10th Tel-Aviv speech of Israeli President Shimon Peres in a business circle.
"Israel is getting through the economical crisis, a war as well as the withdrawal from Gaza and is reaching now an exceptional economic performance. The Israeli economy is flourishing. (...) It is possible to found empires today without settling colonies and using the military. Look at how big an empire has built Bill Gates without the use of police and military, see what a big power he represents today. Contrasting with this, governments are unable to use their power since, even if they make projects, they have no money to realize them. Thus, governments are limited in their functioning while the private companies have no such limits. Israeli businessmen invest in the whole world, the Israeli economy was never so successful, we have conquered our economical sovereignty, presently we are buying out Manhattan, Poland and Hungary."
OK, I lived in the first two places and a close friend of mine is a Hungarian. Do I feel offended? Not at all. After all, Shimon Peres has been a frequent guest of Wolf Blitzer, the US MSM literally love him, so how could I question this noble man seen by every American every once in a while when the mainstream media update on the situation in the Middle East and the needs of Israel is necessary.
“We have conquered our economical sovereignty, presently we are buying out Manhattan, Poland and Hungary."
Well said. One image however comes to mind.

After all, a lot of noble men had to die so a bigger mass killing would become achievable and years later that very bigger mass killing would make the comments above conveniently ordinary and possible.

So when the Democrats in Congress are thinking today about abandoning the Armenian Resolution and postponing the vote indefinitely, one can’t help but wonder why one people have the right to the only right genocide and the others need to fight for “recognition” sometimes for decades, sometimes centuries. Maybe if only the Armenians could have “conquered political sovereignty” of this country, their genocide would count no less than the Holocaust and be as worthy as the Israeli, Polish, or any other mass murder of mankind.
Hey, he's telling the truth for once at least. Leaving out the potentially significant detail that if Iran won't actually get nukes so we can start WWIII, we'll either pretend they have them or just give them some so we won't have to change the subject when it turns out they didn't have any.
Actually, wait, didn't we get some Russian double-agent to sell them the nearly-fine plans for nukes a while ago? Am I mis-remembering that little non-scandal?
I suppose it would have been more honest if he'd noted that we'd be the ones starting WWIII, but hey, you can't have everything...
...here we go again. Before invading Iraq, W's administration talked about the looming threat of a mushroom cloud. Now he is talking about the threat of World War 3 in relation to Iran. It worked the first time, but nobody believes anything he says anymore. Hopefully, his diarrhea of the mouth will lead to the demise of the neo-con movement.
Cythraul @ 5:
I'm not shocked either, considering he's fucking nuts. He claims that Syria and Iran will bring about WW3 with nukes, yet in the same breath, claims N. Korea isn't a threat even though they are much further along in building nukes than Syria and Iran.
Link seems to be broken. Can anyone post an alternative?
mudshark @ 1:
No fucking joke!
There has to be something mentally wrong with this man. What kind of person wants nothing but war? Seriously, this man makes me sick.
The comedian in chief cannot even remember the year 1980 except living in Midland, TX (Did he get that wrong also?). He has been an embarassment since his appointment.
Kay @ 16:
I agree with everything. Can someone please explain to me why every fucking neocon is so happy about always going to war? I don't get it.
If there's any justice in the world, this man's epitaph will read: "Hero of the Stupid." If today's press conference had occurred 30+ years ago, guys in white coats at this moment would be swarming the White House. Yet today, it's just another day in Washington D.C. and in America. We are sincerely and thoroughly doomed.
George, if there is any instigator of WWIII, it will be you, you sanctimonious little pukebag.
"Q Mr. President, following up on Vladimir Putin for a moment. He said recently that next year when he has to step down, according to the constitution, as President, he may become Prime Minister, in effect keeping power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic transition there. Senator McCain --
THE PRESIDENT: I've been planning that myself. (Laughter.)"
Laughter?
What does the press think this is? A comedy act?
Shared Humanity @ 6:
Same -ee with me-ee.
If we invade and eventually occupy Iran, our children, their children, and their children's children will suffer in the world for centuries.
President Bush is a sad, pathetic man. I'll see you in hell bush.
Be afraid.
"And what would it mean for Russian democracy if, when you leave power, assuming you do, in January 2009 -- (laughter) -- if Vladimir Putin is still in power?"
Apparently the press is stoked.
xoites defends Constitution @ 24:
That fucking smirk he does whenever he laughs pisses me off so bad. In his world, he think's he's a comedian.
I would say the DSM IV would classify him as 301.81, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), is defined as a mental illness primarily characterized by extreme focus on oneself, and is a maladaptive, rigid, and persistent condition that may cause significant distress and functional impairment.
I've heard that colostomy bags have more brains than this guy.
Bush is misrepresenting what Ahmadinejad said, as usual. Bush wants more war. It's making him and his friends obscenely rich and causing untold misery everywhere.
xoites defends Constitution @ 28:
Did you mean stoned?
INSANE MAN.
WE NEED "THE WAR ON WAR".!
Anyone on the planet who speaks of WAR should be KILLED.
This would end war.
Peace out.
- JJ
Vladimir Putin ... said recently that next year when he has to step down, according to the constitution, as President, he may become Prime Minister, in effect keeping power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic transition there...
THE PRESIDENT: I've been planning that myself. (Laughter.)
Funny. Ha, ha, bloody ha.
BTW. I scared the SHIT out of my dog yelling at this clip on Olbermann tonight. And with the paper thin kitchen walls, I would not be surprised if my young neighbour wasn't cowering under his bed...
if you cant impeach a sociopath....you cant impeach anyone
clinton effed up because he wasnt crazy
clinton shoulda started a war, then had his attack dogs out calling all the repugs unamerican
we are all fucked
nonny mouse @ 35:
Just remember, we have been warned. There will be no election, the coup will not be televised.
This press conference was sickening. Bush used his Bully Pulpit and effectively shut down all honest reporting. Our Media needs to get over its impotence. Soon.
Good Dog I'll be happy when that smirking fool is out of my sight. The way he explains things....like he is explaining it to children, then he smirks like THEY are the slow ones, when in fact HE is the one who can barely grasp even the most elementary concept, and how beamingly proud of himself he is at these moments, when all I can think is "What a dipshit!"
WW3 is normal and inevitable according to Bush logic.
jtmonty46 @ 30:
At least five of the following are necessary for a diagnosis (as with many DSM diagnoses, they must form a pervasive pattern; for example, a person who shows these criteria only in one or two relationships or situations would not properly be diagnosed with NPD):
1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by other special people
4. requires excessive admiration
5. strong sense of entitlement
6. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy
8. is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her
9. arrogant behavior
oh and that smirk.....really, REALLY...PISSES ME OFF!......the twit is a fucking lunatic.
None of the links are working
xoites defends Constitution @ 24:
What "press"? Journalism died. Our country is doomed.
Playing the fear card in the next election except this time it is Iran.
Too bad Senator Clinton voted yes on the Kyl Lieberman bs to ruin their strategy.
There will no war in Iran, it is political bs.
jtmonty46 @ 42:
the way I see it......he's scoring nines.
I think that it might be time for the Democrats [and the Republicans] to consider invoking Amendment XXV of the U.S. Constitution which deals with Presidential disability and succession. For this to go into effect, according to subsection 4, a majority of Congress "... may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office..." What is it going to take for the media and the Democrats to finally acknowledge that Bush's ramblings are incoherent and that past drug and alcohol use have taken a heavy toll upon his mental faculties? If the Democrats were to act on Amendment XXV, Cheney would then [as least officially] take over the "powers and duties of as Acting President." Perhaps if that were to occur, it might finally provide the impetus for the Democrats to begin impeachment proceedings against Cheney.
Juan Cole in Salon today:
Uh, people need to stop repeating that mistranslated quote about the so called destruction of Israel.
That was NOT the intended meaning of the comment from Ahmadinejad. He was repeating the prediction of the decline of the so called "zionist regime". He was referring to a political shift, not physical destruction.
I'm not entirely sure how he can go on repeating a talking point that was long ago shown to be a bad translation.
http://www.juancole.com/2007/06/ahmadinejad-i-am-not-anti-semitic.html
hey pelosi!
i'm interested in avoiding wwIII. is that a good enough reason to put impeachment back on the table?
Vladimir Putin issued a veiled warning Tuesday against any attack on Iran as he made the first visit by a Kremlin leader to Tehran in six decades — a mission reflecting Russian-Iranian efforts to curb U.S. influence.

Erroll @ 48:
Unfortunately, the Dems wouldn't be able to pull that off before "President" Cheney wack Iran and star the WWIII. They can't even impeach find the "hutzpa" to impeach Cheney now!
Kay @ 16:
I agree Kay. Prior to Iraq his mantra in almost every speech was 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'; 9/11 and the mushroom cloud crap. Inspite of all evidence they prove the Hitler attributed point of repeating a lie often enough and the masses will believe it.
This is the truth about the quote:

jtmonty46 @ 53:
Had the newly elected Dems done something in Nov 06, we'd be well on our way of being rid of Dubya.
Instead, we have "harsh statements" from Reid/Pelosi.
We ARE fucked.
There will be a war with Iran and BUSH and his CRIME FAMILY will start it just befor he leaves, and H. Clinton will have helped it along with her vote on the LIE-berman bill. Along with the CORP:, Main Stream MEDIA, you can hear the DRUM BEATS every night for war. THEN there will be a DRAFT, that is the part when all of these CHICKENHALKS will be required to be part of the MILTARY then we will see how these war lover feel about war once they atr part of the BLEEDING AND DYING.
Eric in Ottawa @ 50:
That's a joke, right? He can do it because he's George 'Full Colostomy Bag' Bush, Preznit of the US of Jaysusland and GODDAMNED leader of the Free world.
Sheesh Eric in Ottawa, get off the 20 hour clock, legalise VCRs and quit sending your old people off to die on ice floes (h/t Rick Mercer).
Watch out Canada-Harper's told his new bff about Alberta...
WORLD WAR III....think about it folks.
I think Joe Mac Donald said it best.................
Whoopee.........we're all going to die!!
You get a dumb fucker in for President because his blueblood family and you get dumb fuck-type decisions.
This prick is no better than HITLER. When America finally bites the friggin' bullet and says "we made a big mistake here, let's not make a bigger one"..............
As a 12 year old Canadian boy I remember whe JFK was assassinated..................and what were the reasons again? I thought he must've been a bad man for someone to kill him. If he was bad, what is this jerk-off?
Are you listening Dumbocrats? Impeach this son of bitch before it's too late!
razant @ 58:
Oh, man....
You used the "H" word.
JJ @ 34:
lol... agreed... but... what do we do about those using enhanced destructive tactics?
The guy's approval ratings are now officially lower than Nixon's were when he skipped town, he's trashed pretty much every branch of government, his foreign policy disasters will decades to recover from, the Constitution has been reduced to nothing more than suggestions, and now he's marching us right into a war with Iran. And Pelosi says "impeachment is off the table".
Well fuck you, Nancy.
Fanon @ 33:
No, i meant STOKED. They are ready for a permanent unelected President so what little work they do now will come to an end. Stenography will become the official motto of the press corps.
Here's Bush today, telling Turkey to "get into dialogue" with Iraq to avoid war. The same advice he bullshits out of his texas windpipe to other countries, he never follows himself.
This is what leaders do George, you dumber than dumb prick. You LEAD...and people follow your lead.
This is what Israel and Turkey are doing and between the 3 of you....we're headed for war.........or at least you guys are. Being Canadian, I'll just follow all the carnage on TV.
Getting the friggin popcorn out!
This press conference, TODAY, should be anough for Pelosi to pull IMPEACHMENT out of her closet... and put it back on the table, WHERE IT BELONGS.
Wonder what they'll think 100 years from now looking back at how f#$king stupid America was-- under Bush/Cheney. (It ain't gonna be no comma, I can tell ya that.) Not sure who "they" is, and not all Americans, but I hope you know what I mean.
And St. McCain, sadly, I don't find the the KGB nearly as frightening as the CIA, NSA, FBI, ATF, Homeland Security, et. al., ad nauseum.
Geno in Ptown @ 26:
There is no Hell. That's all the more reason why he needs to experience the consequences of his actions in THIS LIFE.
Take him to the HAGUE and let the real trial begin. If he gets away with all he's done in this life he won't see justice in a non-existent next one.
jtmonty46 @ 61:
Yes.........does this mean I can expect big burly black-suited scary guys at my door?
Cowboy Bob in Austin @ 66:
Pelosi is such a complete, utter, failure as Speaker of the House that even she admits it.
The Ventriloquist's Dummy In Chief Speaks. What an ignorant, smug prig. "Prevent" "Them" from getting the knowledge needed to build a nuclear weapon? Where will they obtain this knowledge? Graduate school at Stanford? University of Chicago? Oh- some xerox-copied manual...right....
JAIL BUSH AND CHENEY
BEFORE - WW 3
NOT AFTER - WW 3
ALL the JAIL WILL B FULL of NOTHING
BUDH IS MADD... MADD I SAY...
MADD and VERY SICK
GO GET HIM and IMPEACH & LOCK em UP,
NOW,
TONIGHT
.
Wow! I think chimpy will go down in history as the first "real asshole" president. His arrogance is frightening to me. No one will stand up to him. (hautingly like Hitler). He has destroyed our country as we new it. If there is a God... God, Please stop him! So many people have died and so many more will follow. Until ,this evil man is out of office! I don't think Jesus would approve of his approach to peace. He would make Jesus vomit!
Bush and Cheney are both sick men! I hope we can survive until Jan 2009 and these idiots don't start another war!
Where is impeachment?
Call Nancy Pelosi @ 1-202-225-0100 say IMPEACH.
Now the question begs.
Did the Bush Administration, DOD or State know of and/or approve of Israel's strike against Syria in advance or were they caught off guard by another secret attack by the Middle East's leading rogue state?
Mike Meyer @ 75:
Please, I am SO finished with Pelosi.
All the worlds past "starters of War" died or were executed. How can this be any different?
All the reasons that people have died for so far and are about to die for were based on SPECULATION but we know it was GREED. Personal Greed. These men and people of the administration should all get jail time at the minimum.
Bush is no different from Almajadad...actually, his intent is greater and he isn't as smart...............by a texas country mile.
Q Can I ask you whether -- did you support Israel's strike in 1981 on the Iraqi reactor outside Baghdad?
THE PRESIDENT: You know, Dave, I don't remember what I was doing in 1980 -- let's see, I was living in Midland, Texas; I don't remember my reaction that far back.
Q Well, but as you look at it as President now --
THE PRESIDENT: -- private citizen back there in 1981 in Midland, Texas, trying to make a living for my family and --
Q But you're a careful -- someone who studies history --
THE PRESIDENT: Student of history? I do, yes. No, I don't remember my reaction, to be frank with you.
Studies History? Careful? WTF was Gregory smokin?
Tom (Not Tom) @ 63:
Add Harry Reid too! Worthless. An associate attorney could prosecute this case!
THE PRESIDENT: I understand where you're trying to take. It's a clever ruse to get me to comment on it, but I'm not going to. Thank you.
A ruse? Asking a question to get a comment is a ruse? Yep, that's some clever and crafty trick to get a response.
Then again next to Bush most anything appears clever.
Israel's puppet.
truthfinder @ 74:
Look off the table.
Studies History? Careful? WTF was Gregory smokin?
Dubya's cock.
First numbnuts is the "decider", now he's the "Chuckler". Such serious topic and he's chuckling. JFK wasn't chuckling over the Bay Of Pigs. He was very concerned.
Why is it...Putin, under the threat of an assassination attempt, still goes to Iraq to "Speak To THe Leader" like a "Top To Top" in business. Other leaders do that too. It's called BALLS!!
Dialogue Georgie....try it.
This little twerp has onions the size of raisins and I'm being generous...I know.
Harley @ 83:
Gotta find the table first.
Is "sprint to the finish" a secret code for open the missile silos??
Laughter?
I think what's meant is nervous laughter.
THE PRESIDENT: You know, Dave, I don’t remember what I was doing in 1980 --- I remember a mountain of coke on my desk and something about whiskey and hookers, but...
"Bush: "I’ve told people that if you’re interested in avoiding World War III," DON'T elect me!'
Boy Wonder failed to guard ANY of the known high-precision machine tools in Iraq, which are now in Iran, presumably making centrifuges.
He also supplied Iran with as much HMX for exploding their supposed nukes as they would ever need, by failing to guard Al-Qaqaa (and other sites).
• Bushco also POSTED NUCLEAR BOMB PLANS IN ARABIC on the Internet tubes, and left them there for six months.
Lets see a show of hands. Who is going to go fight this new Iran War? Come on. Don't be shy...

Tom (Not Tom) @ 63:
It isn't her fault that something like 75 Senators will NOT vote for impeachment conviction under any circumstances.
But she makes a good scapegoat.
On January 6, 2001, a joint-session of Congress met to certify the electoral vote. Twenty members of the House of Representatives, most of them Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus, rose one-by-one to file objections to the electoral votes of Florida. However, according to an 1877 law, any such objection had to be sponsored by both a representative and a senator, and no senator would co-sponsor these objections. Therefore, Gore, who was presiding in his capacity as President of the Senate, ruled each of these objections out of order.
abarts: YOU don't have to call since YOU'VE already laid down, now all YOU need to do is roll over.
Speaker Pelosi, even if you don't have enough LILLY-LIVERED CHICKEN-SHIT Congressmen to actually vote FOR impeachment... that does not mean that puting the question to a vote in the House will be a complete waste of time. It is important to show future generations of Americans that YOU did EVERYTHING YOU COULD to stop this ABOMINATION from moving forward.
Impeach the bastard... then TWIST the arms of Democrats like you have never twisted them before! TO HELL with the Bush Crime family... TO HELL with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity... TO HELL with ALL Republicans.
In your GUT you must know by now that this is the only way to prevent Bush and Cheney from doing INFINITE damage to our country and the world.

Bush wants to leave us with a smoking world. The man is seriously ill. Can't we replace him because he is mentally unstable?
L.A. Confidential @ 70:
You are engaging in mythology.
Pelosi has led the Congress to more rollcall votes than any Speaker in US history. She has raised the minimum wage, raised student Pell grants, supplied additional aid to Katrina victims, and presided over the removal from gov't of Karl Rove and A. Gonzales, as well as something like 20 other cronies.
It's one thing to hate THE MOST PROGRESSIVE SPEAKER IN HISTORY for not being willing to send up an impeachment that will FAIL to achieve conviction and reenergize the Republicans and their fool-in-chief.
It's another to lie about her record, which so far is quite impressive under the circumstances of a COUP. But leftists need a scapegoat, to explain why they have (close to) ZERO representatives in the Congress.

• But it is so much easier to scapegoat the Speaker.
This man is very capable of starting World War III. For God's sake, Nancy, what does he have to do for you to impeach?
If Nancy Pelosi were caught blowing GWB on the floor of the House chamber during the State of the Union, Paul in LA would still claim it's o.k. because SHE IS THE MOST PROGRESSIVE SUCK-UP IN HISTORY.
13,000-0. Does anybody know what this means?
It is the number of nuclear warheads that Israel and Iran have each. So what the fuck is America worrying about it's little brother for?
Between that 13,000 and the 31,000 in the USA...do you really beleive...I mean, are you that friggin stupid to believe, Iran would be that insane to want to go to war with the USA?
Putin, before deciding on if he he's going to be an ally (with the USA) in this fight, wanted to see for himself. He has and he feels Irans reasons are justified.
Now the states will send "reps" over to evaluate what's going on. These reps will be from GE, Haliburton, Kellogg & Root, etc.
Man, a serious, real world issue, and he thinks "no comment" will suffice?
Worst... president... ever....
Glanced at the transcript--he started out 9 paragraphs of his statement by saying, "Congress has work to do...." Yeah, they have work to do but I'm betting the work most of us think they have to do isn't anything close to what dumbya wants them to do.
When Olbermann was reporting on this press conference, he asked Dana Milbank if there were starting to be rumblings that bush was really losing it and Milbank said no. I don't believe that for a hot second.
Cowboy Bob in Austin @ 98:
We might have enough votes for impeachment, but that doesn't change anything in the Senate.
People who are desperate to put a mark in history of opposition will be more desperate in a few months, when the Iran action starts. You might as well save some anger, because some of these facts are not going to change, even with TWO scapegoats.
Question for site designer:
Any chance you could code the bg of the pop-up video pages a dark gray, if not black? given that its such a small size player, i like to open the popup page wide so my screen (big screen) is covered up. but the white page is just as distracting (almost) as a page of clutter on a bright browser. Please please please make that pop up page dark so I can cover my screen with it? Like the google movie player pages? Gracias!

Your suggestion that she is a suck-up is unsubstantiated.
jtmonty46 @ 100:
Impeachment would be great IF it was Bush AND Cheney and ONLY if there was a chance in hell of the senate having the 67 votes needed to convict them. An acquital in the Senate would be seen as a vindication by Bushco and their dittoheads though. That would be majorly counter-productive.

How dare you be so factual.
Only hysteria knows the truth. Nevermind that I just came in from street protesting and shouting for justice -- I'm just not hysterical enough to ignore the actual history of the Senate and PRETEND that THIRTY-SEVEN US Senators will all of a sudden decide to vote for conviction, after voting for everything Bushco has wanted.
Loved McCains answer, "when I look into Putin's eyes, I see three letters, K, G, B" Priceless.
Paul in LA @ 114:
She fast-tracked the resolution condemning MoveOn; she backed a minimum-wage hike so anemic that it doesn't even affect people living in more than half the states; oh, and she took impeachment "off the table."
In fact, what has she done that Bush didn't want and/or what has Bush wanted that she hasn't done? A Republican Speaker would have acted identically.

Besides she likes those dinners at the White House and her AT&T stock is kicking ass.
YA CAN'T WIN IF YA DON'T PLAY. 1-202-225-0100 SAY IMPEACH
After today's performance, I believe that bush has reached a level of insanity that simply cannot be ignored by Congress. Our country is at stake, not only in its reputation, but also in its internal ability to survive this malevolent presidency.

Paul in LA @ 103:
Paul in LA, Pelosi and the gang were elected to end this reign of horror. They trotted right out after the election and told all of us who want this madness to end to go to hell with their words and subsequent actions.
I know you go on about not enough votes, but the fact that there's not even an attempt to stop him. I don't care if there's not enough votes. The only way for them to have gotten votes was to maintain interest in it-using the same tactics these shitbags used to start the Afghani-Iraqi occupation.
Pelosi and Reid haven't done their jobs. Full stop. I never expected them to. The ones that expected something from them ARE disappointed. No one is scapegoating. They AREN'T standing up. They need to buck these motherfuckers at every turn. Start dealing-"You want that? Well give us this first, and we'll talk."
At this point, Pelosi and Reid could get us all free ice cream and cake every day-but what does it matter-what does any of it matter if Bush destroys the world? What good is a higher minimum wage when we are staring at a looming economic crash, when NO ONE will have jobs? On and on. She can have the liberalist record for all time, but it won't mean anything if the country is FUBARED.
How many press conferences has he done in 7 years where he actually has to respond? You just saw what the man is all about. And it aint pretty. IMPEACH the Chimperor NOW!
He's still spreading lies about a 9/11 connection to Iraq and he lies about the role Al Quaida plays in Iraq . Most of the violence is home grown Iraqi vs Iraqi.
This is the most pathetic thing EVER in the history of the USA. God/Allah help us....

Bushy wanted his illegal wire tap bill extended. Pelosi jumped 10 feet high and even broaded its powers. Passed it in record time.
She did not want to lose her vacation.
errrr........psychopath?!
Is that really a US president?
Paul: A QUITTER NEVER WINS, BUT A WINNER NEVER QUITS. 1-202-225-0100 say IMPEACH. Spread the number, spread the word, and call often.
Ms. Pelosi,
Really... IT'S OK TO CHAMGE YOUR MIND! The Republicans are FLIP-FLOPPING all over the place. Since THEY made it an unforgiveable political crime (2004 election cycle,) Goullianni has flipped on abortion, Romney has flipped on EVERYTHING, Graig has flipped on being GAY, Freddy T. has flipped on being relevent, and even McCain has flipped on telling the truth...
So... REALLY... it's OK to change your mind about impeachment. Of COURSE the REPUGS will say it's politically motivated. They say that all the time! It doesn't mean anything any more.

Ahh, no it is not.
Snicker long you little fucking toad.
Unlike Iraq, you won't be able to force the U.N. to disarm the Iranians.
You're leading the American public down the road to hell.
When the hell are you Yanks going to do something about this fuck?
is this finally enough/ I thinlk pelosi can officialy kiss her political career goodbye fot the impeachment choice
Cowboy Bob in Austin @ 133:
She's not listening. Maybe we should try out different locations and "can you hear me now?".
hope @ 137:
Different locations is a good idea. Next task: e-mail ALL my media contact lists, then... e-mail Congressional contact lists, then... phone calls to that number that Mr. Persistant is listing on this thread, then... it's going to be a long night!
hope: How about just calling the number( 1-202-225-0100)? A HUMAN will answer YOUR call and WILL NOT ask your name. Don't be AFRAID, don't let FEAR rule over you, do what is BEST FOR AMERICA AND THE WORLD. Say IMPEACH

The press surrendered in on election day 2000. They are still wondering what th heck happened.
Harley; What, you think you aren't monitered RIGHT NOW. (you really believe they don't know) That is why I use my REAL name, no use trying to hide. ( and I probably wouldn't if I could hide, I mean, you see how I am already)
This man needs a check up to see if he is coherent enough to understand what is happening around him.
I dont think any President has ever deteriorated to the point command of his faculties was questioned and his fitness for office was under review, has it?
Now is that time.

more strong Dem leadership in action.
I liked the way MSNBC worked in that old clip about the smoking gun coming in the form of a mushroom cloud. It was very deja vu and should open eyes to the fact that Bush is setting up invading Iran on the same basis as he did Iraq.
in 1981, bush was getting arbusto off the ground with bin laden funding thru james
bath of bcci fame. if i had that in my background, i wouldn't remember either.
Even Tweety looks kinda scared, final image of clip.

It's called the purification of the world. Get rid of all the non thoroughbreds that have tainted the gene pool.
