6. DUH! But you try to make sure that we don't see that, don't you?
And do we cry when a young child is blown up by an errant American bomb, or shot by a stray American bullet?

How many THOUSANDS of Iraqi children have died that way, Mr. Bush? And how many IEDs were killing them before we invaded?

Is he so frickin' stupid that he thinks anyone takes pleasure in seeing children blown up? Seriously? does he think only americans "cry" at those images?

you posting a link!

There is a blip in the video that might raise suspicion among nonbelievers, but I believe it because I know you wouldn't pull a Kaloogian on us. Bush has no compunction about revealing how shallow he is.

President Bush Speaks at Freedom House

SPEAKER: GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

And we're a country of deep compassion. We care. One of the great things about America, one of the beauties of our country is when we see a young, innocent child grown up by an IED, we cry. We don't care what the child's religion may be or where that child may live, we cry. It upsets us.

61. When I read the OP, I too thought, this MUST be a satire, I just couldn't
believe my eyes...was reading through thread before clicking on link. And I'm NOT naive about the depths of the illegitimate little puppet-king's depraved indifference to the death and suffering for which he is directly responsible. Like someone else downthread, I would have thought myself incapable of shock at ANYTHING the twisted little spawn of evil said.

Beyond belief. Beyond horror.

36. i guess we have to add that to ballgames, grandma's apple-pie,

now it's "ballgames, crying at exploded kids, apple pie, and white picket fences."

We're in big trouble folks, we know it, but it doesn't make it any easier.

Edited on Wed Mar-29-06 07:49 PM by WinkyDink
"children blown up by IED's".

His PSYCHOPATHY made him say them and his PSYCHOPATHY made him pleased at their sound. The only thing more pleasing to him would have been seeing the pictures.

But then he does see them, in private.

43. Unspeakable.
For anyone still on the fence about the nexus of Bush and psychopathy: Quote:
And we're a country of deep compassion. We care. One of the great things about America, one of the beauties of our country is when we see a young, innocent child blown up by an IED, we cry. We don't care what the child's religion may be or where that child may live, we cry. It upsets us.


I actually saw him utter these evil, sick, twisted words today. How could an adult man, a father, so nonchalantly speak of dead children, and THEN SOLELY IN ORDER to PAT OURSELVES on the collective BACK??

And THEN the strongest emotional response he can conjure up (since he IS a sociopath, IMO), is "upset". Not horrified, not revolted, not anguished..."upset". The paucity of the term evidences even it is non-existent.

And that he said, hard by "we cry", "We don't care", tells me more than I need. He doesn't care; whatever words follow are just filler.

Finally, he states we don't care "where that child may live." But of course, said referenced child is DEAD. But Bush wants to erase that nettlesome tid-bit, to himself and to us.

Bush is a loathsome psychopathic mass murderer. Just take out the throw-away 2 "we cry"'s and "It upsets us", and re-read.

Why, no, I DON'T like him.

50. Reminds me of
the SNL cowbell skit when Will Farrell character is fighting back tears stammering, "I don't know, if Bruce Dickenson says we need more cowbell ....". It's that total Drama 101 fake emotion thing that people have gotten so accustomed to after too much TV exposure.

Bush is like the hockey Dad who gets in a fist-fight with the ref because his son was caught over the blue line (or whatever ... I don't know hockey so well).

Somebody please make this nightmare end soon.

57. Stunning
Over a year ago, an international team of epidemiologists headed by Les Roberts of Johns Hopkins School of Public Health completed a "cluster sample survey" of civilian casualties in Iraq. Its findings contradicted central elements of the narrative of the war that politicians and journalists had presented to the American public and the world.

After excluding the results from Anbar province as a statistical anomaly and half the increase in infant mortality as possible "recall bias," they estimated that at least 98,000 Iraqi civilians had died in the previous 18 months as a direct result of the invasion and occupation of their country. They also found that violence had become the leading cause of death in Iraq during that period (51 percent or 24 percent with or without Anbar). However, their most significant finding was that the vast majority (79 percent) of violent deaths were caused by "coalition" forces using "helicopter gunships, rockets or other forms of aerial weaponry," and that almost half (48 percent) of these were children, with a median age of eight.
