It's payback time!

"I doubt he'll be coming to the ranch anytime soon," Bush said of French President Jacques Chirac.

Hee Hee

"But war critics will be lucky to find a spot with Barney..."

Actually I often see Spot with Barney. And those two don't like French poodles on the ranch....or anywhere else, for that matter.

[TexanToTheCore]

I'm thinking they probably don't want time with Barney, he is an anklebiter and I suspect he has his own sh!tlist.

"This is a group in the White House that has long memories. They reward their friends and punish their enemies."

I'm sure the Clinton Administration was all "forgive and forget".

[sam_paine]

one angry Canadian wrote in a letter to the Edmonton Journal. "I was glad that Chretien had the courage to stay out of the war. ... I was taught as a child to stand up to the bully next door, not to cave in to demands for lunch money."

An apt analogy for a Canadian Govmt filled with juveniles.

Good Going, President Bush!!!!:-)Notice to the World: After September 11th, 2001, You're either with U.S. or against U.S.!!!! We suffered an attack that day that was more horrific than December 7th, 1941!!!! Socialistic Terrorists are now our targets for destruction!!!!Socialists Nations or entities(quite possibly including the U.N.), that support terrorist states or terrorist entities are not our friends(and will not be trusted), and should be dealt with according to each situation that warrants the appropriate response!!!! And Yes Senator Feinstein, After September 11th, 2001, It IS THE AMERICAN WAY OR THE HIGHWAY!!!! Senator Feinstein, If You don't like it, resign you're post leave the country and stand and fight with our enemies!!!!

[sam_paine]

Barney....has his own sh!tlist.

LOL.

"Kicking around FranceThe US iswas costless. NOW IT'S NOT!!!

Our enemies are now whining because the US is not a paper tiger/punching bag anymore.

[Post Toasties]

Bush's annual Cinco de Mayo message on Monday -- the holiday celebrates a Mexican victory over French invaders in 1862 -- failed to mention U.S. ties to Mexico. Instead, it praised "the many Mexican-Americans serving in our armed forces who are working to bring freedom and justice to oppressed people."

How does this amount to a snub? All GWB did was cut down on the fawning comments about the Fox administration. Perhaps if Mexico hadn't bet its farm on the Euro-trash attitude about Iraq and wasn't so internally fouled up that its biggest export is illegal immigrants.......

[bayareablues]

Bully? I don't think so. It's called being accountable. Everyone is obviously free to do whatever they want, but they need to be willing to accept the consequences.
He's just teaching everyone how to play in the sandbox together. God love him.

[expatpat]

ex-President Clinton oce said of his enemies:"We need to kill the bastards...."

Everyone is obviously free to do whatever they want, but they need to be willing to accept the consequences.

Sounds familiar, huh?

[Maigrey]

The motto for some other previous world leader: "If they disagree, Arkanside!"

[Let's Roll]

It's not petty. It's grownups demonstrating that words and actions have consequences - no doubt the reason the left has such a problem with it. Actions of parents vs. those of children (the left).

If it makes it more palatable perhaps they could apply the buzz phrase "tough love" ?

"I was glad that Chretien had the courage to stay out of the war. ... I was taught as a child to stand up to the bully next door, not to cave in to demands for lunch money."

I guess he learned to love dictators as a kid too or maybe he wishes he could be one. Silly Canuck.

[ventana]

Well, they had this little FBI list but it never got much play in the mainstream media. No need to play it above board like Bush did; the Clinton's just blackmailed everyone. V's wife.

[Prysson]

"Kicking around France is costless. It's a freebie. "


Ah that just makes my day to read words like that.

[sandlady]

...stand up to the bully...

Unless his name is Hussein.

[AmericanAge]

Amen, Defender2!

Well, God bless George Bush for the things he's done, to keep our country safe, and keep us #1. He'll kick the a** of those who don't agree, and if they don't like it, they can talk to me. America rules!
