Another gem from "the Commander guy".
This is just a priceless quote from the Commander in Chief of the United States:

"You can't be the president and the head of the military at the same time," Bush said, describing a telephone call with Gen. Pervez Musharraf. "I had a very frank discussion with him."

George, check with someone before you open you piehole.

1. "Smirk, smirk, smirk." - Commander AWOL
Edited on Wed Nov-07-07 06:51 PM by SpiralHawk
"You can't, that is, unless you are really, um, 'special,' like say maybe a Connecticut yankee preppy cheerleader pretend-Texan who deserted his National Guard unit to sniff cocaine, or something like that. Smirk, smirk, smirk."

- Commander AWOL

2. He can't be held responsible for that statement. He's obviously just repeating
what he heard Biden say.

5. Didn't he also say that Musharraf must 'take off his uniform'?
Does that involve some sort of homoerotic skull & bones ritual? :+

6. He sure did- here is the quote.
"My message was that we believe strongly in elections and that you ought to have elections soon and you need to take off your uniform," Bush said.

The guy would be really funny if he wasnt a sadistic serial murderer and war criminal responsible for genocide. And stuff.

9. I would dearly love to hear off the record comments
by Musharraf, Putin, and other leaders about their 'conversations' with this dauphin of ours. It would be priceless.

10. He's very concerned about Pervez removing that uniform
it's beginning to look a lot like the Noriega scene from "Bush I - The Beginning of the End".

11. Not to defend him, but the Pakistani constitution is different from ours.
Just saying.

12. Did it become different during or after the last 6 years?
Seems * had no problem with the good General until now, and never bothered to press for elections.

Besides, if you are suggesting that "To Stupid to Ride a Bicycle" knows that the Pakistani constitution forbids the President from leading the armed forces...

14. And I never heard Bush say Musharraf needs to take off the uniform until
after someone else said it.

16. It's amazing, he's not aware of the constitution because he has never read it. nt

17. That's not a bad idea.
We could've avoided Vietnam & Iraq if we followed that advice.
