To Arabs, we are the portrait of arrogance.

[Cascadian]

I could not believe the interview Bush did on some of the Arab networks. This man did not apologize. If he had any ounce of dignity and humility, he would look straight into the camera and say how dreadfully sorry he was for his soldiers torturing and humiliating the Iraqi prisoners. Yeah he may sound apologetic, but his actions and the way he approached it was just wrong. I would not be surprised the average Arab just looked at this interview and came away more angrier than they are now.

I don't think I have been more ashamed to be an American than I have been in years as a result of the last several days. Unbelievable.

To any Arab or Muslim DUer, I want to be the one to apologize for my so-called President's arrogance and lack of vision and forethought. I truly am. It almost makes me cry.

1. "Iraqi's have to understand we are not leaving"

That's what I heard the idiot say on a AP news report on the radio.

What an ass.

2. Has the complete Arab tv interviews been shown in the states?

or just clips?
Bush definatelly blew it with the Middle East.
What is it with his crazy blinking?

3. That blinking thing is way out of hand. This from Mr. Body Language?

[DBoon]

7. Involuntary blinking?

Is it the drugs taking effect, or the cumulative affect of years of alcohol on the nervous system?

Or just the side effect of telling a huge whopping lie

4. No emotion.

He just seemed emotionless and stff.

"His plain speaking style is seen as simplistic and unintelligent by Europeans."
<Ummm, ummm, uh> That's a speaking style?
