I will never forget the day Bush said this:

[madfloridian]

Bring them on.



I will never forgive him for saying those words.

[kalian]

1. And that arrogant face....?

:mad: This guy has to be removed from the WH...him and ALL of his
cronies.

[H2O Man]

2. Democrats need to use these historic blunders....

... far more often in the campaign. It identifies who the real enemy is. I support Clark, my nephew supports Dean, my son supports Sharpton, etc. But come election time, we know who is the real enemy of democracy. Let's see the infamous photo of Donald Rummy grinning and shaking hands with that old devil, Saddam. These are powerful images that our side needs to keep highly visible. Bring 'em on!!!

[SpiralHawk]

3. But, but, but...Smirky has a perfectly good excuse

"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things."
- George W. Bush, Aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. Those words are a slap in the face

to all combat veterans. If Chimp had gone to 'Nam he wouldn't be strutting around with his false bravado, imho.

[rasputin1952]

10. He would never have survived combat...

but I'm sure that the asshole would have been far to the rear anyway.

If he would have been in the Army, a mechanic wouldn't even let him carry his tools!

:evilgrin:

[smirkymonkey]

23. Of course he wouldn't have survived

He would have been shot by his own troops.

What a repulsive ass he is!!

[rasputin1952]

29. heh, we called it 'fragging'...

I don't know of any personally, but I know it has happened. It happened during this war as well, remember that NCO that shot up the BN CP?

[coloradodem2005]

5. Another question.

Can somebody dig up the footage or documentation of him saying "Looks like I hit the Trifecta" in front of the wreckage of the WTC?

[Broadslidin]

6. The recorded Voice of our Leader

8. Hi Broadslidin!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Andy_Stephenson]

7. Here is a video link

to that statement

[kskiska]

9. Then there's this one:

"I'm the commander... see, I don't need to explain. I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." --Woodward's BUSH AT WAR

and this…

"Bush's ego seems to be growing much faster than the economy. Notice that he more and more uses the personal pronoun - "I" am sick and tired, he says, and "I" have no desire to watch the rerun of an old movie. This is an emperor talking, not the president of a republic. The relationship between two sovereign nations is not a matter of personalities. Bush's personal feelings and prejudices are not the basis on which U.S. government policy should be formulated. Bush doesn't seem to take criticism very well, and he tends to resort to name-calling when world leaders disagree with him, as if mere disagreement were a mortal sin…

[rasputin1952]

11. He is convinced that God put him in the WH...

and he will answer to none other than God himself; that is until he proclaims himself a "Living God", like the Emperors of Rome.

It never occurred to him, that if God had decided to interfere, instead of a bunch of thugs from the GOP and SCotUS, it would have been a FAIR election!

I would suppose god will tire of this soon, and hand him his knotty little head.

[SanchoPanza]

12. The one I will always cherish:

"Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?"

It was the first and last time I agreed with him on anything.

[tabasco]

13. That's my Mom's favorite, too.

She was a schoolteacher.

Welcome to DU.

[aldian159]

31. That's my bumper sticker!

n/t

[dumpbush63]

14. Come on

He was only saying something that Gen. George Patton said in Europe. Approximate quote:

"I like it when the enemy shoots at me. Then I know where he is and I can kill him."

That's the way war works. Just because we're Lefties doesn't mean we can't recognize that.



:beer:

[arcane1]

16. Patton said "me"

Bush isn't a general, out in the field, sharing the horrors of battle with the troops

I recognize plenty, not sure why being "leftist" has anything to do with that :shrug:

[dumpbush63]

20. Well yeah

There is that difference.

[DrWeird]

25. And like Patton, Bush doesn't give a shit about veterans.

Patton, I'm sure you'll remember, mowed down a number of veterans expressing their constitutional rights at the Benefits March massacre.

So yes, they both have a lot it common. They'll both have a bunch of troops killed for no reason than to make themselves look better.

[Art_from_Ark]

32. Are you referring to the expulsion of the Bonus Marchers?

While not really qualifying as a massacre (only one person was killed in the mayhem), it was nevertheless a reprehensible act on the part of the Hoover administration to run down-on-their-luck verterans out of town on a rail, after the service they had given their country. Among the people who forced out the Bonus Marchers were Douglas MacArthur (the commander), Dwight Eisenhower, and George Patton.

[karlschneider]

18. Fine. Let the Commander in Thief go to Baghdad and say it.

No plastic turkeys, just mano a mano with the 'terists.
:grr:
Bush only kills by remote control when his own lily-white fratboy ass is far from harm.

[rasputin1952]

27. Excuse me, but Patton had guts...

bush never faced an enemy.

He's had others face enemies for him his entire life; but bush never had to face an enemy that could kill him.

He is a cowardly little spoiled brat, that is less than gnat crap as far as I'm concerned.

I have stood at many a ceremony, and over many a grave to hear Taps playing in the distance. bush cannot find either the time or the fortitude to do that. He can send others off to fight and die, but he will not stand there and take fire himself.

He is a coward, always has been, always will be.

O8)

BTW: welcome to DU :hi:

[DrWeird]

28. Yeah, all over his hands.

Along with all the blood.

So he compares quite nicely with Bush.

[arcane1]

15. sadly, my Republican, National Guard SFC father...

has those 3 words in his email sig line :evilfrown:



words like those seem to ring true for people who treat war like it's a football game...

[Malva Zebrina]

17. Some people eat that up

This is the NEW masculinity--all biblically, patriarchally mandated! The OLD was the compassionate, loving and gentle father, who wheeled a baby carriage and changed diapers-who wanted nothing but peace with his family-the NEW male is the tough talking, strutting cowboy wearing six shooters on each hip, like Bush--all smoke , no fire, jutting chin like Mussolini, and who breaks down saloon doors in search of someone, anyone, to shoot up.

[karlschneider]

19. Well, this old Okie has changed a lot of diapers and I'd give a years pay

to have 10 minutes alone with the chickenshit son of a bitch...with no referees.

[0007]

21. Sounds good to me!

I'd give ten years pay to watch a ten minute video of 'ya Karl.

[mbee]

22. He has 6,000 people to guard him yet he said to bring it on

our troops who have no guards. He is beyond low!

[young_at_heart]

24. It would be nice if our media could remind people of this horrible quote

The idiots who think he's a "tough" leader should be forced to watch the funerals of all those killed since he said it.

[liberalhistorian]

26. I still just cannot

believe he said that, and I have an even harder time at the total lack of outrage from my fellow citizens over such an arrogant, ignorant, cowboy-movie-wannabe statement, especially coming from someone who doesn't have to deal with the "bringing on" and who's never spent one single fucking day in any kind of real service and combat.

[economic justice]

30. We must NEVER forget those words! Ever!! <eom>

[Deja Q]

33. Ditto for things he's said but never followed up on...

or outright reneged.

Not that what I'd just said suggests I support the bugger in any way, shape, or form.

The guy is the closest thing we'll get to the Anti-Christ... (I cleaned up original commentary, hence the edit...)
