Bush can't convince Iraq his regime is better than Saddam's.
How the f**k can anyone in the US think there's any contest when it comes to a choice between Bush and Kerry if the Busholinis are having to convince people they're better than Saddam?? This is freaking bizarre!

1. "Democracy isn't perfect"
Edited on Wed May-05-04 10:09 AM by teryang
The armed forces aren't a democracy. The commander commands and the troops obey. Iraq is a pitiful rationalization for the terrible example of leadership he has given the military and the world.

Who is the commander in chief? Who is responsible? War crimes have been going on since Afghanistan. How does he claim he cares about every individual when thousands of Iraqis are detained in violation of the Conventions?

3. No. Kerry can deliver
the chimp and his uni-lateral, go it alone, piss off all of our allies can't.

Foreign countries don't want to touch the chimp with a ten foot pole as evidenced by the Spain election.

4. His Morals are AWOL!
Well the idiot did try not to smirk! If the people in the United States can't believe a damned word the fool says, how can the people in other countries be expected to? The only thing Bush's freak show today will yield, is to try and slow jack Jerry's flockers and the Freepers who think this is all in some tiny way SICK! Bush will try to do the same thing he is doing to the families of the 9/11 victims! Hide evidence and lie like hell! Bush might not be like Saddam yet, but give him four more years and you won't be able to tell the difference! Same defense as everything else: "DUH I DIDN'T KNOW! If he don't know anything why don't we fire his ignorant ass?

6. He may have tried not to smirk, but failed miserably.
It was abominably abhorrent to see the expression on his face. Contrition? Not a bit. Empathy? Zilch. Compassion? He wasn't evn on the same continent as compassion. (At least Reagan was an actor, even though a lousy one.) He looked like he was talking to a pledge about hazing. It's a joke to the son of a bitch! The only antipathy he showed was about it getting leaked and becoming public. That bastard thinks it's OK to abuse these people - as long as it's not made public.

9. It runs in the family!
Damn, I hate these low lifed lying bastards! I'll bet they all thought it was funny 6 months ago at the White House! Like fragging them frogs when he was a brat! The Shrub KKKlan gets the blood lust from Prescott and his Nazi partners in crime! About as repentant as Ted Bundy! I can't wait to hear what Bobby Byrd has to say about Bush's request for more money! I'll bet Mr. Byrd was about as convinced as the Arabs were by Bush's appeal for Arab understanding!

5. White supremecy abroad == votes in a racist nation
Thats why we gave decorations to the military bozos who shot down
that iran airliner some time back... kill a dark skin and win in
the south.

It is normal for the USA and its racist military... not bizarre...

or rather what is bizarre is the national acceptance of racism as
the baisis of american society.

7. "Iraqis must understand...."
How many times did he use that phrase? What an imperious f..k!

He always says, "Americans must understand..." Sounds like a dictator, commands like a dictator. In a free country people are persuaded, they don't have to understand anything except what they choose to understand.

8. And the more they try to convince everyone that they are not as bad...
...as Saddam the sillier it looks. I would suggest that when Bush and his minions lower themselves to that level things are no longer going according to plan.
