Bush: "My job is to do....remind people about the war on terror" 7/31/06

[Botany]

One of the few plays left in their playbook .... gays, flag burning, illegal aliens, media manipulation
and election theft are there too but ..... :mad:


Repost of a DU thread I copied ..... in light of the news about the "terror from the U.K."
I thought this might be worth a look see.

My job is to do — is to do two things, one, remind people about the war on terror, and remind them that we're doing everything we can to protect them, so that they're able to go about their lives. In other words, what you don't want is, you don't want an economy to shut down because people are worried about the next terrorist attack.

It's a — you know, it's — you want the environment for — for people taking risks to be such that people say, "I understand that there's a War on Terror, but I'm still willing to take risk."

You know, taking risk in our system is how people form businesses and how jobs are created. And, so, I — I — I'm not surprised that some have said, "Well, this war is really not a war anymore."

But I know it's a war and I think about it every day of my presidency.

I think about Al Qaeda every day. I'm asking questions all the time: Are we doing everything we can to protect this country?

[BayouBengal07]

1. remind people about the war on terror

Can we remind him of the real war on terror? Al-Qaieda? Osama bin Laden? Afghanistan/Pakistan? Failed states as terrorist hideouts?

[sakabatou]

2. No, fuckface!

Your job is to protect the Constitution and uphold it. ASSHOLE!

[babylonsister]

3. How many people have been manipulated? Start with dimson. nt

[Disturbed]

8. Busholini is an ignorant weasle.

This Silverspoon Sociopath is the worst Pres. in US History and a dispicable person.

"Where are those WMDs?" "Don't sell that coin on EBay." Merely two remarks that display his Sociopath mind.

[Pattib]

29. Damn! I missed the "don't sell that coin on ebay" statement.

Do tell? I'm sure it's another one of his stupid remarks. Just want to know the background.
Can someone please explain to me how this man has become more stupid over time? You would think that after speaking in public so many times, one would become better.

5. Safety and peace might be more realizable goals if we were to change

the foreign policies which threaten them.

Invading a sovereign nation and bombing the piss out of its unarmed civilians is not a good way to make friends.

John Bolton doesn't help much either.

Condi Rice is dwarfed by events; she hardly knows what she's saying or not saying, and probably resents the fact that she in effect missed the Cold War, since she boned up on Russia and has to devote all her time now to the much more complex Middle East.

In my lifetime I never thought Robert McNamara would be eclipsed by an even more abysmal failure, but Don Rumsfeld shot the gap and takes the trophy.

And Dick Cheney is a lizard outright.

Change the way we treat other countries and cultures and they may be correspondingly less prompted to blow us off the face of the earth.

[rusty charly]

6. "so that they're able to go about their lives"

[pinto]

7. It's always amazing when he stumbles and tells the truth.

Then tries to tie it to the latest talking point (in this case the economy). :eyes:

[Raydawg1234]

9. There's much more in the interview..this is about Hugo Chavez:

<snip>
CAVUTO: What did you make of that, and what did you make of his travels to countries and leaders who are no fans of yours and the U.S.?

BUSH: You know, what I care about is the Venezuelan people. And you, know, we have good relations with Venezuela for years. And I'm deeply concerned about a government that would undermine the basic fundamentals of democracy. And I would hope that the president of Venezuela invests in his people, that — there's a problem...

(CROSSTALK)

CAVUTO: But what do you think he is doing with all these weapons he's buying?

BUSH: I have no idea.

But, you know, the biggest threat he faces is under — the biggest face we threat — the biggest threat we face in the neighborhood is undermining democratic values and institutions. And it's just — we will continue to speak out on behalf of — of democracy. People deserve...

(CROSSTALK)

CAVUTO: Well, is he a military threat to the United States? Is Hugo Chavez a threat?

BUSH: No. He's not a military threat. We have got a — a very strong military. And if — we can deal with any threat that — to the homeland there is, and will, if we have to. But, no, I don't view him as a threat.

I view — I view him as a threat of undermining democracy. And I view him as a threat. You know, I — I — I would — wish he would invest his petrodollars with the people of Venezuela, and give them a chance to, you know, get out of poverty, and give them a chance to realize hopes and dreams.

CAVUTO: Now, in the meantime, he shut down a number of Citgo facilities in the United States. More could follow. Is he playing economic blackmail?

BUSH: I think he's — I think he is an indication that we have got to make sure we have got a wise energy policy in the United States. Listen, we get oil from parts of the world where people don't necessarily like us.

And, therefore, the faster we can, you know, reduce our dependency on oil, the more secure the nation will be economically and from a national security perspective. And that's why we're investing in ethanol and investing in battery technologies for automobiles and promoting hybrid automobiles.

And we're trying to encourage people to be — you know, use less gasoline through good policy and, at the same time, find new sources of energy.

CAVUTO: Yes.

Are — are you amazed, Mr. President, in light of all the turbulence in the Middle East, the ongoing Iraq war, threats from Iran, threats from Syria, threats from Hugo Chavez, that the economy has been doing extremely well? The markets have held up extremely well.

<snip>

"Well, is he a military threat to the United States? Is Hugo Chavez a threat?"

No, it's more like we're a military threat to Hugo Chaves.

Do the neo-cons want to attack Venezuela? Even with the obvious irony that Venezuela just happens to have oil.

[EFerrari]

11. I'd say that any people for whom Junior expresses care

better watch out. It's like having a stalker, isn't it.

[TomInTib]

12. "I have no idea"

Truer words have never been spoken.

[Ghost in the Machine]

17. Good lord! Will this fool *ever* utter a coherent sentence?

CAVUTO: Well, is he a military threat to the United States? Is Hugo Chavez a threat?

BUSH: No. He's not a military threat. We have got a — a very strong military. And if — we can deal with any threat that — to the homeland there is, and will, if we have to. But, no, I don't view him as a threat.(emphasis mine)

I view — I view him as a threat of undermining democracy. And I view him as a threat.(emphasis mine) You know, I — I — I would — wish he would invest his petrodollars with the people of Venezuela, and give them a chance to, you know, get out of poverty, and give them a chance to realize hopes and dreams.

I can't wait to hear this idiot stammering on the witness stand at the Hague.

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. He's a stupid MFer, for sure. But his arrogance really pisses

me off! petrodollars Yep! That's what he really cares about, not whether the Venezuelan people are lifted from poverty or not. :rofl: He doesn't give a rat's ass about 'Muricans who live in poverty! Who does this POS think he is kidding?

[WinkyDink]

21. give them a chance to, you know, get out of poverty

Which is EXACTLY what Bush does NOT want, and EXACTLY what Chavez IS DOING.

[Caretha]

28. I hate the term Homeland

BUSH: No. He's not a military threat. We have got a — a very strong military. And if — we can deal with any threat that — to the homeland there is, and will, if we have to. But, no, I don't view him as a threat.

When we get rid of this criminal cabal, can we please make it illegal to call the United States of America the homeland? Pretty please?

[Raydawg1234]

35. yeah, homeland kinda implies that we have some land somewhere else. Like

an empire.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

32. Listen, we get oil from parts of the world where people don't necessarily

like us"




"but some just luuuurve me!"

[LuckyLib]

33. Just tracking his discourse pattern gives me a headache. One

disconnected, disjointed thought after another. I never cease to be amazed that no one ever says, "Just exactly what the @#$@ are you saying? It's completely incomprehensible!"

[uppityperson]

10. Job is to scare people? No. Here is what presidents swear:...

Each president recites the following oath, in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

[Patchuli]

14. A broken oath is a lie

A lie almost got the previous president impeached. Why should this be different? This is much worse. I'm waiting for reality world to kick in and things to work like they always had before W. We need the Houses for us, for the country for the whole damn world!!!

[Raydawg1234]

15. Did he just fuck up? I bet you that is what his "handlers" tell him

his job is. And they probably don't want him telling people that on national TV.

30. Truth! Watch for bruises.nt

[lumpy]

13. Cavuto almost pissing his drawers

to have a one on one; one asshole to another. Bush's job (designated by his cabal handlers) is to talk terror, preach optimism about the big freedom pie in the sky, pose for phony photo ops and pretend to know what the hell he is talking about nothing. He is no president, just a mouthpiece without a vocabulary.

[Botany]

16. bush a phony?

Here he is with his bust going into the National Guard Hall of Fame.

So he does blow, gets grounded, skips his piss test, and then goes AWOL
and he gets into the Hall of Fame ....

I like this quote because idiot boy let the cat out of the bag as far as being a
front man to keep people scared.

[JohMunich99]

18. Bad deal!

Your job is to lead this country into peace and prosperity! What a diphsit.

[WinkyDink]

20. He had to add "of my presidency". He's a psycho narcissist.

And nobody uses the phrase "take risk"; it's either "risks" or "take A risk".

I cannot abide this revolting person.

[Skittles]

22. not, that is not your job, you stupid f****ing ASSHOLE

that is the job of your WHORE MEDIA

[Philosoraptor]

24. We don't NEED reminding, I want my money back please

if that's what we pay him for, we don't need him.

[FlaGranny]

25. I think this is another of those

times when Bush is just stupidly telling the truth. I can hear the VP saying, "Now Georgie, don't you worry about anything. Your job is just to remind people about terrorism and the need for war."

[UrbScotty]

26. Actually, Mr. 33%, your job is to PROTECT AMERICA. (nt)

31. His job is to preserve, protect and defend THE CONSTITUTION

per his oath of office (which, of course, he had no right to take, given that he was NEVER ELECTED...)

What a stupid incoherent illiterate illegitimate fuckin' moron.

What an embarassment he is to our nation

What a threat he is to our democracy.

What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

As someone here once said, 'He's not a psychopath. He's a psycho boulevard.'

[Nikki Stone 1]

37. He don't need no stinkin' Constitution. He's the "decider"!

,,,,

[grannylib]

38. *groan* don't remind me!! God, what a moron. What a total, pathetic,

fucking embarassment of a loser worthless waste of space and oxygen MORON.

[Nikki Stone 1]

41. Tell us how you really feel.

:)

[Rex]

34. Why that

FuckfaceassmunchbootkissingAnti-Christlovingleaderofdumfuckistan! Two things...he really is pushing it!

[fleabert]

36. so where is osama shrubbie? nt

[opihimoimoi]

39. Wait a Minute: We, the Peeps, should be telling him what his JOB IS...

Not him tellings us...

So far, him protecting America has resulted in Long Lines at the terminals, higher gas prices, 2,601 KILLED 12,445 Wounded, 25,886 PTS Victims, and 9.2 Trillion $$ in the Hole...and Dollars lost and spent on Iraq, $300+ Billion,. the loss of Respect/Credibility with other Nations due to Bushies Ignorance Level...Bush is Unable to reach the Level where MOST other Leaders are. Thus, he is unable to discuss things/issues of IMPORTANCE...Like Global Warming.

The man is a whacko.

He's been getting BAD ADVICE

[NightOwwl]

40. "But I know it's a war and I think about it every day of my presidency."

And then I go ride my bike, take a nap, ride my bike, sneak a few shots of Jack Daniels, pass out on the bed by 9:30 every night.

It's hard work, being preznit.
