Didn't Barry grow up in Kenya?
How can you know all this good stuff? Do you read the foreign press? Or are you good at reading between the lines and picking up on and linking miscellaneous tidbits?
In any case, I appreciate reading this concise summary of positive efforts, and achievements, by GWB.
But that doesn't have anything to do with this either.
Besides, ending that war wasn't very important anyway, apparently -- even though it was one of the longest (1983-2005) and deadliest (2 million civilians killed, 4 million displaced, tens of thousands enslaved) conflicts of the 20th Century -- as the press barely covered the Bush administration's efforts or its success.
And even if it was "important," it wasn't really good, since we all know Bush only tackled this one because the issue was important to American evangelicals, upset because the Southern Sudanese being killed, displaced and enslaved were Christian. We all know that nothing America does is good unless out of purely disinterested (or better yet, contrainterested) multicultural motives.
I dunno. I guess if you're enough of a news junkie some of it seeps through, and if you're a Republican you might actually notice it. But imagine how little of this the sheeple are picking up on.
My, God. If a president with a "D" after their name had ended one of the worst wars in Africa the press would still not be able to shut up about it. There wouldn't be a single American (who watches that news at all) that wouldn't know all about it. But go out in the street right now and try asking the first African American you meet if they're aware of this at all. Ask them if they know that Bush tripled foreign aid to Africa (actually quintupled it, I'm guesstimating, if you include the AIDs initiative).
Again? How many times has the Kenyans arrested this guy? I have counted four or five already.
He sure does bear a resemblance to Obama.
Actually they look nothing alike in my opinion, except for the blank stare. Forehead, eyebrows, nose, lips, width of face and head, and shape of head are all different.
The blank stare is exactly the same though.
That noise you hear is the sound of tears hitting the floor from all the dims that are being forced to see successes in the WoT.
I don't think that the Kenyans care about such niceties. As far as they're concerned he is a terrorist and I doubt they care at all about his feelings or comfort.
I am sure he will be out of jail in two days like that cat in Pakistan.
Unless they put a bullet in his head after some interrogation, these announcements are pretty worthless.
Looks like Barak Obama to me.
Was he on the campaign trail in Kenya?
Is this a Hillary campaign stunt?
"Hurray for Kenya!"
Last month I met a guy from Kenya. I asked him what he thought of George Bush.
He said "WE LOVE DAT GUY MAN! DA BEST PRESIDENT MAN !!! "
Honest, I expected a nasty tirade, but the guy absolutly loved George Bush, and his response toward Al Qaida.
We are still respected in the world by people who have to deal with these Islamo Devils.
Is that Obama in college and then in the senate?
No, but I think his dad was Kenyan. Saleh may be his long lost cousin.
It seems strange to me that a navy ship happens to be stationed and running training exercises right off the coast of Kenya when they found this quack. They are also setting up a free clinic in the area.
We have new Kenyan Christian neighbors in our block. When I asked whether there was unrest from Muslim agitation in Kenya, they scoffed!
A bunch of the Somali "Islamic Courts" al-Qaeda guys fled to Kenya when the Ethopians kicked them out of Mogadishu.
Personally, I hope they wring this guy like a dishrag until he gives up everything in his head. And I hope some of our Spec. Ops guys are there - to learn what the Kenyans extract!!
