Putin rejects Bush's Iraq democracy model
Saturday, July 15, 2006

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (CNN) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected a suggestion from U.S. President George W. Bush that his country should emulate democracy in Iraq.

During a joint news conference Saturday in St. Petersburg, Bush said he raised concerns about democracy in Russia during a frank discussion with the Russian leader.

"I talked about my desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world, like Iraq where there's a free press and free religion, and I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia would do the same," Bush said.

To that, Putin replied, "We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy that they have in Iraq, quite honestly."

1. free press and free religion

oh please. that is such a load of crap. :grr:

[Skittles]

2. bush truly is delusional

I know he doesn't read newspapers and I am wondering just how much his puppet handlers tell him

[Jackpine Radical]

5. I had thoughts along that line. I generally think of Bush as more of

an evil and cunning, personality-disordered person, but when he says stuff like this you really have to wonder about his basic grasp on reality.

Oh--sorry--it slipped my mind for a minute. We're off the reality standard these days, aren't we.

Just as well, too. The quality of reality seems to be declining. You just can't hardly get good reality anymore.

3. "Free Religion???"

He's fucking insane. Does he still believe he must play to his insane base? The fucker doesn't even concern himself with democracy in this country. The russian leader making a fool of POTUS. How much more fucking sad can it get?

4. China are in, aren't they?

Why China but no Russia? I can't think of a good reason offhand...except that China usually lets Bush** make an a$$ of himself rather than telling him so to his face.

6. Oh no he didn't!

[TreasonousBastard]

7. So, it's true-- he really is that stupid. And he's reduced...

our standing in the world so that other leaders are perfectly willing to throw all "diplomaitc" talk to the winds.

I'd love to be the fly on the wall when Merkel let it loose after that little debacle she suffered through.

And the rest of them. Can you imagine what it's like to be the leader of your country and talking to this stuttering pantload in person?

One day we'll have a real President again, and the planetary sigh of relief will be heard across the galaxy.
