"We don't want a "temporary" peace....we want a lasting peace.." GWB

[kentuck]

Have you ever heard such bullshit! No, we can't stop killing now. We may only get a "temporary" peace. We've got to kill 'em all so we can have a "lasting" peace. That is the most absurd, sick reasoning I have ever heard in my life! And I have heard it several times and I would not be surprised that some here at DU believe the same thing??

[oberliner]

1. Whom are you quoting there? nt

[kentuck]

4. Sorry....George Bush just said it at his press conference...

But I've heard a couple in the Administration say it...

[liberal N proud]

2. Don't you have to have "Peace" period before you can start working on

lasting peace?

And the idiots will buy this bull shit, hook line and sinker.

[Norquist Nemesis]

3. Started w/Condi and Bush

now being echoed throughout the chamber.

5. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Bush, you cretin, peace begins with a single second of peace. The HARD WORK is keeping it going. But you have to START with peace in order to have lasting peace.

Violence is not the start of peace.

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Can't you start with "temporary" peace and make it "permanent"?

[PATRICK]

7. The whopper of the moment

actually states the exact opposite of their long term intentions. One momentary lie is actually indicative of a bigger lie.

If Israel killed every one in a thousand mile radius of its land it still would never be "secure". You are strong surrounded by friends, not be gravestones. So what about enemies? The real steps are mediation, action, law, support of the larger world community, etc. Violence is defeat, and a step ever backward toward another danger you do not see.

Israel needs world support, not another brilliant strategy or mere restraint. the palestinians too. The Arabs after the oil runs out ditto. The rest of the world idiotically stumbling along the same paths, the same. Let the ME force us all to make peace forever.

8. He's somehow trying to indicate that the world must suffer this

war in order to reach a larger goal. Stupid, but it may work on the 29%. It's something we have to do, unpleasant as it is, to reach a bigger goal. Resonates with the career and power types, you know, you must suffer and sacrifice to reach a point of success. Though bull in this case, it works on some mesmerized Americans.

Bush is trying to appeal to those puritanical or work ethic type emotions Americans have. Trying to appeal to reason doesn't even occur to the moran.

9. You learn to crawl before you learn to walk but then again it is

all about learning and that seems to be a foreign concept to the Bush* Cabal.

[DireStrike]

10. War is peace! -nt-

[SoCalDem]

11. Like telling a starving person that they cannot eat because

you don't have a 7 course meal for them

[kentuck]

14. Excellent analogy SoCalDem !

Exactly!

[Jacobin]

12. Fantasy Man Speaks

He thinks you can just go to the M.E. and just 'clean it all up once and for all"

What a forking idiot and tool

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Like the peace we brought to Iraq?

[woodsprite]

15. What he REALLY meant was

"We don't want a temporary piece. We want a lasting piece."

See, it's all in the spelling!

[Fleshdancer]

16. Then why ignore that area for 6 years?

this is complete crap. :eyes:

[rhiannon55]

17. The bush cartel doesn't want peace

War is what keeps them in power. I think they want to keep the Labanese massacre going long enough to spin us into a war with Iran and maybe Syria, just before the November elections. Their "lasting peace" propaganda is simply a delaying tactic. Nothing matters to them but hanging onto their stolen, illegitimate power so they can remake the middle east into an American corporate outpost. It doesn't matter to them how many innocent people will die horrible deaths in the process. They are blinded by power and greed, all of them.

They have "promised" us perpetual war and that is what they're giving us.


:nuke: :scared:

[bdamomma]

18. they want peace???

but no ceasefire, these people are truly whacked. Such BS, and how many Americans are going to believe this crap?
