WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former President George W. Bush on Tuesday praised the Arab spring movement and said the U.S. shouldn't fear the spread of freedom, even if it doesn't know what policies newly liberated countries will pursue.

"America does not get to choose if a freedom revolution should begin or end in the Middle East or elsewhere," Bush said. "It only gets to choose what side it is on."

I always knew W wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, not as dumb as the media portrayed him but still. I doubt he personally has noticed all of these “Arab Spring” coutries are now turning to Moslem fundamentalism since that would require reading a paper or magazine or watching something other than American Idol. Someone is putting words in his mouth and he dutifully repeats them.

Mr Bush, you can afford to wax poetic about this nonsense. After how many hundreds of years, has that culture really changed? Did you ever study or observe the rest of the world up close? They are not us, and we aren’t ourselves anymore, as a nation.

W just doesn't seem to get it - Islam and Democracy do not, and cannot, co-exist. The Arab Spring is nothing but secular Islamic despots being thrown out by rabid Jihadists. When the dust settles in Egypt, Libya and Syria, Sharia law will be firmly in place. The few remaining Christians in those countries will be slaughtered, enslaved or driven out in the name of Allah. Some of the oldest Christian communities in the World are being and will be eliminated. Business as usual in Dar al Islam.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I bet the Coptic Christians in Egypt and the Nestorian Christians in Syria are really happy with their new-found “freedom.”

Geez. No wonder we lost the peace in Trashcanistan and Iraq.

So any doubts, or opposition views are based on “fear of freedom”?

That sounds like the childish attempt at judo language that we occasionally see in weak posts.

Good that this dullard GWB speaks up with his treasonous thoughts! I for one would love to put him, BJC and Obama on trial! I’ve come to hate GWB as much as I did his father and Grandfather. This should remind all to never vote for another of the treasonous Bush family again!

“Freedom is spreading where again???

Did I sleep through a briefing?”

Well, speaking of freedom and briefings, the elastic in my old boxer shorts finally gave way.

Or snorting. The man was, is and always will be a disgrace. Sad it took so long for so many on FR to realize that.

” - - - Bush said. “It only gets to choose what side it is on.”

YOU chose TARP and WE opposed you on it.

TARP wrecked our Federal finances, and gave Obama the blueprint for your damned brand of Socialism, or as you put it: “Deficits don’t matter.”

We had NO choice, but we will trust no President again, ever.

You chose to spend our money in a Paulson-designed, Socialist Debt Pit, so now you own that 4 TRILLION Dollar Debt.

History will not be favorable to your legacy.

BTW, whose “side” were you on, anyway?
