Bush: If I Were Iraqi, I’d Be Saying, ‘God, I Love Freedom’

This afternoon, President Bush held a joint press conference with French President Nicholas Sarkozy. A reporter asked Bush where he stood “on Iraq and your domestic debate on Iraq,” and whether he had a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops. In response, Bush insisted that “freedom’s happening” and Iraq isn’t in a “quagmire”:

I don’t — you know quagmire is an interesting word. If you lived in Iraq and had lived under a tyranny, you’d be saying: God, I love freedom, because that’s what’s happened.

And there are killers and radicals and murderers who kill the innocent to stop the advance of freedom. But freedom’s happening in Iraq. And we’re making progress.

Watch it at link~

In June, Gen. David Petraeus said that U.S. troops had been in Iraq “long enough to become liberators again,” echoing Vice President Cheney’s infamous pre-war prediction that the United States would “be greeted as liberators.”

Almost five years, 3857 U.S. troop deaths, and more than 76,000 Iraqi civilian deaths later, Bush can’t figure out why Iraqis aren’t jumping around rejoicing in their freedom. Maybe it’s because they’ve all left the country.

2. "killers and radicals and murderers who kill the innocent to stop the advance of freedom"

That sounds like us all right. Funny how Bush speaks in perfect opposites.

after 5 years of a botched invasion and civil war, and my family was still alive, and I still had electricity and running water, and a job...

That rules out everyone, no? :shrug:

9. To quote an Iraqi from 2006: “I got nothing from this so-called liberation..."

“I got nothing from this so-called liberation, just this cell phone and my satellite receiver. But I lost my three daughters,” said Nawar Maarof, a 34-year-old taxi driver who said he had dreamed of becoming an accountant. “I have a feeling that my destiny is the same. Anyway, we're all dead.”

11. Speaking to fools who see things in black and white and believe that they are always the white

Instead of the complete shade of grey stained ebony that the situation is.

[kevinmc]

12. ... and if Bush really believed that ...

... he would walk down a street in Baghdad looking for rugs.

[polichick]

13. He's clearly delusional...

...and each time we see him on TV, it's worse ~ DK was correct in asking about his mental state, though I think this Congress would fail to step in if he was literally foaming at the mouth and tearing out his hair.

And then we will see what he has to say.

[gratuitous]

22. Well, Mr. Bush, I'm an American, and I'm saying

I fucking hate your motherfucking guts, you bloodthirsty asshole.

Maybe I should move to Iraq.

[Disturbed]

24. Busholini is certifiably insane. He actually believes this.

This Silver Spoon Sociopath believes that he is the chosen one from God to
deliver Freedom to the ME. Isn't there something in the Constitution that addresses the mental
demise of the Pres.?

[KG]
