Bush: Anger over war won’t change U.S. policy

[ckramer]

Calling resistance against terrorism the “defining struggle of the 21st century,” President Bush declared Tuesday that he would not let Americans’ frustration with the war deter him from finishing the job in Iraq.

In an exclusive interview Tuesday night on “NBC Nightly News,” the president said history would vindicate his decision to invade Iraq in 2003 and remove President Saddam Hussein from power. But it would consign him to ignominy if he heeded the calls of critics and much of the public to pull U.S. troops home before democracy could be stabilized in Iraq, he said.

“If we lose our nerve and leave the Middle East before the job is finished, the world will be much worse off,” Bush told “Nightly News” anchor and Managing Editor Brian Williams.

1. Sounds like an Evil Dictator not the leader of a Democracy nt

[saigon68]

27. Yes the Puppet Chimp is following orders from his HANDLERS

[dipsydoodle]

2. consign him to "ignominy "

wonder which donut wrote that into his speech - I'm surprised he could even pronounce it.
:rofl:

[Atman]

8. But it really isn't funny when realize what he's really saying...

He's continuing to kill our soldiers, sacrifice thousands upon thousands of lives, so that he isn't judged harshly by history. That's seems to be his motive now. At his age, with his problems, he's probably facing down the final years of his life realizing that EVERYTHING he has ever touched has turned to shit. Everything. I am sure he thought Iraq would be the great cleanser of his sordid business past, at least according to the evil puppetmasters behind the scenes. They knew they had the perfect stooge. A balance of desperation, hubris, arrogance, extreme narcissim...he was the perfect foil for them, and took the bait in a big way. Now, his "retirment" years will be filled with more and more ridicule and derision, as he goes down in flames for the most colossal "business" failure in world history.

Good goin', George. You're a fuck-up to the last! Deal with it, please. Seek professional help. But stop killing people in the hopes you'll go down in history as the savior of the world. The horse has left barn on that one, dude!

[CoffeeCat]

25. Awesome post...

You don't need me to tell you that you nailed it with this post. :)

"Stooge" is the perfect descriptor for Junior. The neocons needed a sacrificial puppet. That way, if their PNAC plans fail miserably--Junior takes the fall and they put their plans on the back burner until they find the next "stooge."

Like you said, "everything he has ever touched has turned to shit." Junior was going to be the biggest, bestest pResident ever. Finally, he could succeed at something and his daddy wouldn't have to sweep in and bail him out. That's why he's so resistant to his father's advice. Being leader of the free world is HIS project.

He's the decider.

[MurrayDelph]

31. I've said this before, but speaking of Stooges

George keeps reminding me of Moe Howard's declaration of

"We will fight to the last drop of ... YOUR blood!"

[dipsydoodle]

30. Nicely put.

:)

[TexasLawyer]

43. You SAID it, Atman

I read that one aloud to my family, and it received a round of applause.

[badgerpup]

13. bet they did it phonetically...

...Ig-no-mini

I'll cop to having to look up to see how it was pronounced.
While it's a word a lot of us see used on paper (along with its sibling ignominious) how often are either of them actually USED orally?

Do you suppose this could be an effort of Bush's speechwriters to repair his image of incoherent bumbler with a working vocabulary of 500 one-syllable words*? :sarcasm:

:rofl:
* not counting those he makes up; i.e. 'misunderestimate' 'strategery', etc...

[dipsydoodle]

29. They should teach him to speak

like Charlie Poole used to sing. String some words together into one and move syllables from one word to the adjacent one - made the lyrics almost unintelligible but sure stopped anyone from copying him. He'd died 1934 and it wasn't until the fifties that John Cohen and Tom Paley spent weeks decyphering the lyrics using old '78s and also figuring out the way in which he played his 5 string banjo. To hear him go here and play White House Blues - track 1. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Time-Songs-Vol-1/dp/B0000012F2/sr=1-2/qid=1156947557/ref=sr_1_2/026-8167027-8557248?ie=UTF8&s=music

I think Shrub's speeches are written by someone with verbal diarrhea. :)

[rodeodance]

3. so, Jr. is staying the course based on what he THINKS historians will

write about him. geech.

[ananda]

10. Except that..

.. I feel sure that Bush's knowledge of history is SO limited.

What he actually knows about history would not even fill a
thimble.

He'll go down in history all right... in flames.

[UpInArms]

4. Dimson will be consigned to the trashheap with Hitler

and hopefully his consignment will also include a long stay at the Hague.

[rodeodance]

5. it was an interview not a written speech.

[ixion]

17. You don't think it was an unscripted interview, do you?

I think the chimp has done one of those, and it was such a catastrophic success, that they never let him do it again. :evilgrin:

[xultar]

6. Translation...we don't care what you think. If you're not with us you're

against us. War is patriotic. We know best so stfu.

[ckramer]

7. Saving face is more important than saving life

Americans and Iraqis life.

[bdamomma]

9. oh, this guy has got to go

he is absolutely disgusting, he just does not respect what Americans think.

[Totally Committed]

11. Of course not...

Why bend to the will of the people? You only SAID you'd represent them. But, as you said yesterday... you don't always MEAN to keep your political committments, and it's basically our fault for not knowing that in the first place. Silly us.

TC

[acmejack]

12. It pisses me off every time he says that!

I don't care what YOU want. I want to stay, so that's what we're going to do period. Oh, by the way I need more of your kids and husbands...

[moondust]

14. "Fuck the people" cried the King.

And the people were fucked.

[SpiralHawk]

15. "All your democracy are belong to us" - Bush & republicons

So just shut up and sit down.

[yellowcanine]

16. "Staying the course" is so Vietnam. And also what a wreck bound train

does.

[ixion]

18. Imagine if you said this to your boss...

which is what, in essence, the chimp is doing.

You wouldn't have a job very long, now would you?

I think someone needs to be sent to Crawford to be a professional brush clearer. :grr:

[grytpype]

19. He is so effing nuts.

His fitness for office can be fairly questioned. Seriously. The man is mentally ill.

[katinmn]

20. What happened to "the will of the people?"

He is a dictator! We don't want to pay for his war waged against innocent men, women and children. The war is Bush's biggest lie of all.

[acmavm]

21. He's not going to finish a damn thing. He plans on it going on

past the time his worthless lying ass is out of the White House and its been disinfected.

[lovuian]

22. Bush your going to be out of office in 2 years and it will be over

eventually!!!

[seafan]

23. "Just because you 'Merikans are screaming in frustration doesn't mean I'll

stop beating and bleeding the $*#* outta this great country.

I want mah war and I'm a-gonna git it."

[DinahMoeHum]

24. Bush = Stuck. On. Stupid.

:evilfrown:

[zanne]

26. What do you think this is; a democracy? nt

[mcscajun]

28. The overwhelming opinion and desires of Americans won't change

what Bush Wants! He's the deciderererer and HE decides what US Policy is, damnit!

[Supersedeas]

32. Logical step: we must invade Iran/Syria to salvage MY legacy

[Lisa]

33. he's a flip-flopper! He claimed he didn't care what historians thought

And swore that he would be praised for doing the right thing!

[intheflow]

34. Obviously. If anger towards war policy mattered,

we never would have gone to war in the first place. x(

[sutz12]

35. Bush

Better
Understand what a
Shithead
He is

[warrens]

36. FINISHING THE JOB? THE FUCKWAD ALREADY SAID

The war would be the next president's problem.

[spindrifter]

37. But votes will.

[BlueEyedSon]

38. ...but it will change U.S. elected leadership, spit-for-brains!

[rocktivity]

39. We're angry at YOU, Georgie.

:evilgrin:

[zara]

40. How about that the war is F...ing stupid, unnecessary, and harming US?

Won't change it either with Dum Dum at the helm. : (

[Az_lefty]

42. Fascist Bastard!

ol' george is a man of the people all right, unless the people don't agree with him.

[IndianaGreen]

44. Bush will get us all killed if we don't stop him first!

Impeachment!

[Cha]

45. Fuck you, you little dictator,

wannabe. We'll see about, asshole.

[hootinholler]

46. Actually, I'm glad he said that

He's lied about everything else so why should I believe this?

-Hoot

[jayfish]

47. "Democracies operate on different principles than totalitarian states".

"In a democracy, you have to respond to the will of the people."

Anyone wanna guess who said that and about what period in time? No using Google now.

[daleo]

48. So, the feelings and opinions of U.S. citizens won't influence U.S. policy

I think there's a word for that.

[truthisfreedom]

49. the republicans have allowed the terrorists to win. they allowed the

terrorists to twist our arm into war, to reduce our freedoms, shred our constitution, kill hundreds of thousands of innocents and destroy the lives of millions more, destroy our privacy, treat our own citizens like criminals, hold them without bail...

THE RETHUGS LET THE TERRORISTS WIN.

[MissMillie]

50. "finishing the job in Iraq"

Still waiting, Mr. President, to know exactly what that means.....
