Bush Laughs Off Critics Of 'Spoils Of War' Bidding

Independent (UK) ^ | 12-12-2003 | Rupert Cornwell

[Lancey Howard]

Bush and Company are letting the scumbags frame the issue.
It is NOT that we are punishing those countries who stabbed us in the back, but rather, that we are REWARDING those countries who had the guts to join us and risk lives. It's a more positive, and palatable, spin.

Kerry/Dean/Gephardt: No chance against GWB. We need this supposed dummy who says what he believes not what the left/polls want/say!

[Right_in_Virginia]

O'Reilly's having a hissy-fit over this. Had to turn off his show. (Again)

[OldFriend]

The laws that the nine dwarves would have us operating under if they had their way.

"George Bush poured fuel on the flames of the Iraq contracts dispute yesterday with a sneering dismissal of a suggestion by the German Chancellor that the decision to bar Germany, France Russia and Canada from bidding might violate international law."

I just LOVE that man!

[dasboot]

O'Reilly's having a hissy-fit over this.

Oh, really? What, he doesn't like anybody stealing his shtick? GW out-O'Reillied O'Reilly?

[Wolfstar]

I'd better call my lawyer.

LOL!!! I think he already did — another tough-as-nails, sonofagun, "cowboy" by the name of James Baker. Heheheheheh...

[rocksblues]

You are right. The only problem I have with GWB's administration is they won't fire back at these appeasement/leftist scum.

[OldFriend]

O'R was opining last night that the government should be in control of the medical and pharmaceutical professions. The man has lost his mind.

Reading between the lines: probably a message to the EU "put up or shut up."

[Enterprise]

I laughed too! He sneered at them! Ach der snausages, exclaimed der German Chancellor, you are violating International Law!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Merry Christmas Euroweenies, Merry Christmas!

[cwb]

Yep...O'Reilly's really off the reservation on this issue. He looks so pathetic whenever he tries to put on his "independent" hat. And this is why I can no longer stand O'Reilly...he's so afraid of being labeled a Republican puppet that he goes off on some of the most irrational tangents I've ever heard.

[Wolfstar]

The Euro-weenies have no sense of humor. They also simultaneously take this president far, far too lightly and far, far too seriously, as befitting their advanced stage of Leftist schizophrenia and ossification.

[Drango]

When Dean heard this, he offer to bend over the table for any Frog or Kraut who demanded it.

[firehunter]

Germany, France, and Russia..
The modern day jackals who set and wait for the Lion to do all the work of the hunt, the chase, and the the kill, only to try and run in and collect the spoils of the Lions hard work.
Scavengers...spineless...and most of all..shameless.

[rocksblues]

Great thoughtful response!

[Cicero]

Priceless. I wonder if the Independent, seething with resentment, understands how any normal person would respond to Bush's remark.

[Azzurri]

International Law? I'd better call my lawyer

BWAHAHAHA!!

Sounds like something Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi would say. No wonder Bush and Berlusconi get along so well, they truly enjoy getting under the skin of the European leftists.

[Wait4Truth]

When President Bush said, "International law? I'll have to call my lawyer!", I cracked up laughing in my living room! It was hysterical! LOL! CNN was so upset they did a poll on Wolfie's show...67% agreed with the President...and that's CNN!!!

No, it is more that these countries really do pose a security risk. When the terrorists are using French made missiles, dated 2003, we find German made portable bio labs and various Russian made weapons in Iraq, it is a safe bet that we can't trust these countries.
