Live discussion and comments about Bush's speech to the U.N. today, and the reaction to it.
I know that now...I also hadn't read the so-called "interview" yet when I made that reply..just the heading. Sorry. Like I tell my kids: "we all do dumb things...that's why there are Geico commercials."
I feel about THIS big...about that BRIGHT, too. Sorry everybody!
Sorry. I clicked on the link from THIS thread and opened it up in a new window...I'll have the AM remove it.
I don't really want to be lectured and shamed by representatives of countries that have fewer flush-toilets than Presidents in exile.
I'm sure that there is some economic benefit to Lower Manhattan businesses that accompany the U.N.'s headquarter location. But, these diplomats are a menace to the natives. They drive like crap, they are cheapskate pigs to women in the bars and restaurants, they are careless parking scofflaws and they stiff their vendors on a regular basis. Think of the delegation from Zimbawe or France out for a night on the town. I'd like to have complete diplomatic immunity one evening while bar hopping.
Let's just relocate the entire operation to Ted Turner's ranch in Montana. Let him clean up the Martini-laden vomit of the Assistant AIDS Education Liasion from Uruguay.
I know this thought is evil beyond excuse, and I am ashamed to even have thought of it but: it crossed my mind, once: "If the Islamic monkees had to hit New York, why couldn't they have hit the U.N. building?" The New York Times HQ building was an acceptable alternative as well. Shame on me.
I sometimes wonder if he says "new-cue-lar" just to sound a bit uneducated.
Of course, it could just be the regional accent. My dad grew up in Texas and not only did he pronounce nuclear in that manner, he also said "DEE-troit," "MON-roe" and "Ha- WYE-ya." Drove my mom crazy, because she was an English teacher. LOL!
That drives me nuts.
Yes, you can! It's about d@mned time the MEDIA started to take the president seriously. ('Course, they'll stop after a few days and go back to business as usual.)
Ah...a disseminator of the "UN sanctions are the cause of the deaths of 100 zillion Iraqi children" propaganda. Figures.
yea arne, shame on you ...
I find that hard to believe. Unless the DU and other pro-terrorist crowds are behind the calls.
Agreed. Bush announced that almost a year ago. But nobody knows how to do it without risking the loss of millions of American lives. Saddam is not Milosevic. He's not Diem, or Noriega. He's given some thought to this problem -- the problem of getting into MAD on the cheap -- and the solution is not that hard. I think he's cracked it. If he didn't crack it -- if somebody else made the anthrax sent to Daschle last year -- then Saddam should have figured it out by now. There are no inspectors in Iraq now -- not that they would do the slightest bit of good if they were there -- and the public cross-endorsements between al-Qaeda and Saddam are flying thick and fast. He's sitting on a personal fortune of $7 billion and has had a year to put together a plan -- if he didn't have one already.
There's a reason for his defiance. He thinks he's got Bush in a tight spot and, objectively, he's probably right.
Sorry, but you are dreaming.
I LIKE it!! Can we keep that? It'll drive the intellectual elite on the left NUTS (or more nuts)
I just heard one of our military people on the radio predicting some kind of action next spring, when the weather cools down. See how easy it is to spin this out? It's only been going on for a year now.
Nobody is going to kill Saddam Hussein. He is personally to all intents and purposes invulnerable. That's what having WMD is all about. It works.
We childproofed our home 3 yrs. ago, but they're still gettin' in!
Angela Anaconda's mom
I'm glad I didn't hear that. I would probably have thrown a shoe at the television. I like my T.V. I spent a lot of money on it.
BTW. If he wants to know what the military thinks of Bush, why doesn't he ask them? And why the heck does he think the Dems were trying to toss out the military vote in Florida? Oh, and Matt Lauer really looks like a geek with his hair cut so stinking short. It makes his large, crooked nose stand out.
LOL...yes, we're Bushbots, whenever we support him. Then again, many of those dismissing us as Bushbots are libertarians who think the war is about oil and are more interested in legalizing pot than in understanding politics.
Your whole post though: well said BUMP.
