Bush Says Opinions of 'Most Europeans' Absurd

[kpete]

President Bush Participates in Press Availabilty at 2006 U.S.-EU Summit
June 21, 2006
Zeremoniensaal Hall
Hofburg Palace
Vienna, Austria

Q And if I may, to President Bush, you've got Iran's nuclear program, you've got North Korea, yet, most Europeans consider the United States the biggest threat to global stability. Do you have any regrets about that?

PRESIDENT BUSH: That's absurd. The United States is -- we'll defend ourselves, but at the same time, we're actively working with our partners to spread peace and democracy. So whoever says that is -- it's an absurd statement.

1. The statement is absurb (according to Bush)--not the people (my interpre-

tation).

[Canuckistanian]

8. Somebody made the statement, that's true

But the majority of europeans agree with that statement. So, it's still a collective insult.

[Dulcinea]

27. No doubt they think the same of him.

I'm sure most Europeans think Bush's opinions are absurd, too.

2. Another red letter day for American Foreign Relations

Oh, geez. :eyes:

Edited to fix subject line

[Neecy]

3. so Orwellian...

How can this retard say the words "spread peace" with a straight face? Why doesn't he get pelted with rotten fruit or greeted with hooting laughter when he says this?

Good god, he's the biggest warmonger since Hitler!

[Richardo]

5. Way to bring up Hitler, Hitler.

:)

[Neecy]

13. sorry, but I believe it to be true

When was the last time an industrialized nation used so many resources to build a huge military and then send them rolling across borders? The Suez crisis comes to mind, but that was nothing compared to this maniac.

[BuyingThyme]

23. How dare you liken a Nazi to Hitler.

[Canuckistanian]

4. What a charmer

I guess he doesn't have much time to insult each european individually.

[Beelzebud]

6. "Spread peace and democracy"... Utterly fucking psychotic...

Spread peace and democracy with depleted uranium shells raining down on mud houses!

Somebody get me the fuck off this planet...

[glitch]

12. I am praying they'll be raptured, asap.

We can repair the damage they've done but we need a little help cutting out the cancer.

(kinda kidding.)

[im10ashus]

7. How many more people can this idiot offend?

There has to be a limit to his vitriol.

[Demeter]

22. No, Just a Limit To the Number of People to Insult

The world population is finite, Bush's evil is infinite!

[Terran1212]

9. Bush: Logic shouldn't rule what is absurd!

[ismnotwasm]

10. Is this that same "Diplomatic" visit again"?

Oh, puke:
"We talked about energy. I kind of startled my country when, in my State of the Union, I said we're hooked on oil and we need to get off oil"
"MY country? Asshole.
:puke:

[Fleshdancer]

11. um, Iran and North Korea aren't the countries starting wars right now

Given Bush's low poll numbers, he should be more concerned that most Americans consider the US the biggest threat to global stability (this particular administration to be exact). Besides, hasn't Europe been more willing to talk with both Iran and North Korea to find a diplomatic way of calming the waters?

Like I said several days ago, I hate it when he travels overseas. I get embarrassed every time.

[bdamomma]

19. the Europeans know how to give it back

something our media does not do, just ass kiss

[tridim]

14. Most Americans think that way too

They hate us for our idiot pResident and his idiot supporters.

[Rob H.]

15. "...we'll defend ourselves..."

Yeah, even if it means we have to attack first! So there! :sarcasm:

What a tool. :eyes:

[bdamomma]

20. what a frat boy response

you can hear the arrogant attitutde he has, he can go to hell.

[Thickasabrick]

16. Karen Hughes should have been fired a long time ago in a

normal world, but since this really is bizzaroworld - she'll probably get a promotion or the medal of freedom.

[acmavm]

17. I'm sure any thinking member of this universe thinks that it is

totally absurd that someone like bush** gets to pretend that he's the pResident of the United States.

[bdamomma]

18. spread torture and death is more like it.

[BuyingThyme]

21. Nazis is good. I'm the Decider.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. ProfessorGAC Thinks Bush's Opinions Are Absurd

Not exactly breaking news, is it.

25. "Wir benötigen Wohnzimmer"

Hitler's excuse when he was asked why invaded eastern Europe. "We need living room."

Sort of reminds me of this. He can't understand why everyone thinks he's such a bad guy. In his own mind he's only doing what he thinks is right no matter what the rest of the world thinks. His opinion is all that matters to him.

[Jawja]

26. Don't you mean

"abshurd?"
