Iraq differences are in the past, says Bush
Washington - United States President George Bush told officials from 83 nations on Friday on the anniversary of the start of the Iraq war that differences over the conflict were in the past and urged no concessions in the broader war on terrorism.

"No concession will appease their hatred," Bush said of al-Qaeda and its supporters. "No accommodation will satisfy their endless demands. Their ultimate ambitions are to control the peoples of the Middle East and to blackmail the rest of the world with weapons of mass terror."

Bush devoted much of a speech marking the anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq to the fight against terrorism. Many governments resist linking the two since there was no evidence connecting Saddam Hussein to al-Qaeda, and Iraq only became a magnet for foreign fighters after Saddam was toppled.

I thougt that after one murdered 40,000 human beings you were sent to the ICC to stand for Crimes Against Humanity? Bush or a Christian or a Repuke does it, forget about it. If Clinton or Dem. does a little thing, spend $100,000,000 investigating nothing.

1. (applause dies down), Bush surveys the room,
a glazed look comes over his eyes. "It's so much work to convince people white is black."

"How much longer do I have to keep this up?, he wonders. "How much longer CAN I keep this up?"

Bush realizes he's swimming upsteam. He can sense his mighty project is falling apart at the seams. He tries to put his arms around it, tries to contain the ever-growing leaks, but it's much too big, too unwieldy.

"The world", he thinks, "is too goddamn unruly".

2. More likely, he's thinking...
... "This would be a heck of lot easier if this were a dictatorship--and I were the dictator."

7.  "dictator" ?-- Hell no, he's President Cheney's clueless "Sock Puppet"
He's not the brightest bulb on the tree. It is doubtful he could put a 250 piece crossword puzzle together.

3. Here's a question
"No concession will appease their hatred, no accommodation will satisfy their endless demands. Their ultimate ambitions are to control the peoples of the Middle East and to blackmail the rest of the world with weapons of mass terror."

Bush about Al-Qaeda, or citizens about the current administration? Thought to ponder...

4. The Very Essence of Projection
"No concession will appease their hatred," Bush said of al-Qaeda and its supporters. "No accommodation will satisfy their endless demands. Their ultimate ambitions are to control the peoples of the Middle East and to blackmail the rest of the world with weapons of mass terror."

If you want to know what the Bush Cabal is up to, just realize that they are always speaking of themselves.

10. Let me run that thru the bizzaro filter:
"No concession will appease their greed," Iraqis said of the PNAC supporters. "No accommodation will satisfy their endless demands. Their ultimate ambitions are to control the peoples of the Middle East and to blackmail the rest of the world with weapons of mass terror."

14. Shock and Awe
The missles and carpet bombs that rained down on Baghdad killed around 10,000 Iraqis. No one knows how many maimed. The Military actually held back their full force because they knew it would be Over Kill. Iraq had no WMD and the Bush Regime knew it. Iraq was an easy little country to overthrow. The US Admin. didn't anticipate the Insurgency against Occupation, though.

GW Bush still tries to tie in the War On Terror, a misnomer, with the illegal invasion of Iraq. Iraq was not an immeditate threat to the US, not even to their neighbors. The American people mostly still do not understand that but most of the rest of the World does know that.
The Americans have been brainwashed by the Govt. via a compliant Media, especially TV. Iraq was a huge blunder of naked Imperialism. To try to paint this invasion now as bringing democracy to Iraq is a repugant lie. It is obvious that the US Admin. does not want Iraqis to have full freedom to form a Govt. totally of their own chosing.

18. Kind of right: Sunnis & Shias are united against Amer. occupation
Some Iraq differences are in the past...The Kucinich video from yesterday showed Medea Benjamin speaking in New York about how thousands of Sunnis left their mosque yesterday and marched to meet thousands of Shias, to say "we are one country, we are united, we want the US out now".

Bush is such a great uniter.

20. How does junior know?
"No concession will appease their hatred"

1. What are al-Queda's demands?

2. Who are al-Queda's supporters?

3. Why does al-Queda want to control the Middle East?

4. Who sez, besides junior, that al-Queda has WMD?

5. How does junior know what al-Queda's ultimate ambitions are?
