Bush on CNN Now; "Agenda: Democracy"

[rdub]

He's talking about the right of everyone in the middle east to live in democratic societies... He just said "freedom deficit"...

Who's next?

-Deckard

[kodi]

1. stating the obvious for the mouth breathers amongst us

such is what rises to be called leadership in america these days.

[rdub]

2. more quotes

"behind their language of religion is their ambition for absolute politcal power"... referring to those who use religious terror...

"many middle eastern governments now understand that military dictatorships and theocratic rule are a smooth straight highway to nowhere..."

and my favorite:
"the good people of the middle east all deserve responsible leadership"
What about the good people in Iraq?

-Deckard

[Kitsune]

3. "behind their language of religion is their ambition for absolute...power"

It's a sad commentary on the state of affairs in America that, taken out of context, I'd assume that that quotation refers to B*sh.

[Gin]

8. It's his sick way of telling the american sheeple the plan these thugs

have for themselves.

9. Projection

These folk do this all the time-- reveal by their attacks on others what they subconsciously know they are doing themselves.

[walkon]

10. So True

God chose me to be pretzeldent
God told me to attack Afghanistan
God told me to hit Iraq

[arcane1]

13. the repubes tend to project every word out of their mouths

no exception here. I'm more of a Christian than Bush and I'm an atheist

[otohara]

5. What About Good People In America?

who didn't want this liar, warmonger, thief in the first place?

[BuckeFushe]

7. "the good people of the middle east all deserve responsible leadership"

What about the good people of Amerika?

[cosmicdot]

4. "those who use religious terror" - like the Southern Baptists?

Yesterday, was the thread RE the Southern Baptists are declaring war on Gays ... that's a threat of terror in my book ...

6. Why the hell is he smirking?

At almost every pause, he smirks and then tries to swallow it.

Progress in Afghanistan?

Progress in Iraq?

How stupid does he think we are?

14. Democracy

works in the US (sorta) I will never understand why Americans think everyone in the world wants to live in a democratic society. IMHO most ME countries do not want democracy. Too bad so many must die to prove this.

[Tracer]

16. Yes.

Or why America gets to decide what form of govenment other nations will have.

Democracy imposed (at the point of a gun or otherwise), is no democracy at all.

[tom_paine]

15. What about the right of Imperial Amerikans?

WE don't get to choose our national leaders!

17. someone is being set up by this very sick man

I have read that Russia is not that ecumenical either. and China? lots o Christian missions there, piously handing out bibles by the scores to convert the atheist heathen commies-most of the Chinese are Buddhist.
