Bush Says U.S. Would Wage War Again to Make World Safe

[DuctapeFatwa]

The United States would wage war again, and alone if necessary, to ensure the long-term safety of the world, President Bush said in an interview published Monday.

Bush told Britain's leading tabloid newspaper, the Sun, on the eve of a state visit that he felt compelled to act following the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.

"After coming to office with a vow to restore dignity to the White House, the president... granted an exclusive interview to a British tabloid that features daily photographs of nude women," the Washington Post said in an article on its Web site.

1. How did he make

ANYone safe, much less the world?

[saigon68]

29. RESTORE DIGNITY BY MURDERING THOUSANDS OF CIVILIANS

Oh that sounds like a real accomplishment.

What a sick AWOL Chimpanzee.

[cliss]

2. It's hard to figure out what to say on this one.

What to say? I guess we can take out the word 'world' in the phrase "to ensure the long-term safety of the________" and instead instert "US corporations".

[Media_Lies_Daily]

3. I'm surprised the Chimp's head doesn't collapse from the internal vacuum.

[Solly Mack]

4. damn, did I miss something? The world is now safe?

wow..what a major feat. A safe world...

can you imagine? everyone herald the news...the world is now safe.

gosh...

[glarius]

5. It gets surrealer and surrealer!!!...(if there is such a word)

:)

[Room101]

6. War is Peace - Chocolate rations up 20%

Off to room 101 the Nation goes.

[Melsky]

7. AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The depths of this man's stupidity never fail to amaze and horrify me.

When Bush the first was running for pres, I was living in San Francisco, and there were tons of bumper stickers that said "George Bush couldn't run a laundromat". I don't think this is true about the first one, but for this president, it is really true. He couldn't run a fucking laundromat, much less a large and powerful country!

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Again?

He hasn't made the world safer by waging war yet.

[Gloria]

9. Ties into the NeoCons...Unfazed story in LBN ...Perle....

[BuckeFushe]

10. Oh yeah, we're safe alright, at least until he gets back

[young_at_heart]

11. I wonder if the world feels any safer now?

He obviously thinks he has made the world safer by invading Iraq....does the world agree? Let's hope "the world" has an answer for him!

[gate of the sun]

12. he felt compelled?

before 9-11 to attack and that is the truth.

restore dignity to the white house........I think he did that when choked on that pretzel.......or am I missing something here......

[smallprint]

13. Our Great Leader

...making the world safer, one bomb at a time...

:nuke:

BAMMMMMM!!!! Whoa, I feel safe!!!


:nuke:

WHAMMMMMM!! Wow, the feeling of safety is overwhelming!

:nuke:

KA-BLOOOOOMMM!!!! Could we possibly get any safer?!?!?! Let's find out!!!

:nuke:

etc etc etc etc etc

[stickdog]

14. But the question is would he wage war again to make the world

more dangerous, like he did the first time?

[Occulus]

15. Am I the only one getting this?

This ought to be painted as a major gaffe. Our world isn't safe. It never will be. Life on our planet is a major, major risk, with the threat of death at any time, for any reason.

What, does * really think he can summarily eliminate everyone who could threaten the US? Well, I guess the only way he can do that is to control every location on the planet, which would mean his ambitions extend far, far further than any of us have ever believed.

The only way the US can 'make the world safe' is to control the world.

[truthisfreedom]

16. his point exactly.

Okay, so I'm not counting Venezuela, The Philippines, Colombia and Liberia.

19. where will he get the money?

20. will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense

You’re Invited to the War Party (“Bush at War” book review)
By Georgie Anne Geyer

Ever since his Watergate revelations, which helped evict a president and change the United States for all time, for better or worse Bob Woodward has stood as the major force in a new genre of journalism. He talks, wheedles, and, using government officials’ personal ambitions and dreams of political eternity, implicitly threatens his way into the often closed corridors of power—there, he is a master at getting a certain number of figures who try their best to remain aloof and unknown to tell their stories. The proposition, understood if not explicitly spoken, is that this book, as his former ones, will tell the story—you miss out on leave on this journalistic port, fellow, you miss the whole historic ship!
…
First of all, Bush at War is really about the decision-making process in the upper levels of the Bush administration—the White House, the State Department, and the Pentagon—from the exact morning of Sept. 11th. It begins with a profoundly worried George Tenet, head of the CIA and, from all of the space he gets in the book, obviously one of Woodward’s best and favored sources. That very morning, Tenet is wondering about when Osama bin Laden, whom he has been desperately tracking, will strike the U.S. Then “it” happens—and from then onward, the book delineates day-by-day, and sometimes hour-by-hour and minute-by-minute—what supposedly went on in meeting after meeting. From all accounts that I know of, Woodward’s interpretations are exactly right; it is the quotes that are so bothersome.
…
Another time, he says to Woodward, “I’m the commander—see, I don’t need to explain—I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don’t feel like I owe anybody an explanation.”

At still another point after the Afghan war has started, the president says to his staff, “Look, our strategy is to create chaos, to create a vacuum.” And Woodward ends the book with another quote from the president, in which he again reflects the obsessive chaos theory of the neoconservatives surrounding him like sentinels and for whom Iraq has become the sina quo non of political existence: “We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of our great nation.” Whew.

21. look at the very last paragraph in that article...

"The president cannot back down from this fight," said one U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity. "If you don't address the issue, then the argument goes by default to the other side. And this is still the best European capital, the best environment, to make the case."

"the argument goes by default to the other side."

they don't care if they are doing the right thing. they only want to force their way down everyone's throats, at any cost.

[booksenkatz]

22. ...and you can take that to the bank! nt

*

[FormerOstrich]

23. Actions speak louder....

So it's great news that * has created a safe world. I am sure he would want allocate resources accordingly. Therefore, I think he should be prepared to cut his security staff in half. Plus, he can let Scotland Yard cut thier plans for security during his visit by half. We'll know that he has made the world entirely secure when he eliminates all of his security staff.

Until then *....keep your mouth shut.

[hussar]

24. Much of the World is safer since Shrub took over

Most of the hate is now focused on the USA.

[mindfulNJ]

25. Good God...

this man is the anti-christ! Be it Dean, Clark, Gephardt, or my dog...we need to defeat him next year.

[treepig]

26. oh, this isn't an Onion headline after all

:freak:

[leetrisck]

27. he has destablized an entire area

"better to fight on the streets of Iraq than in the U.S.? Our troops aren't just fighting on the streets of Iraq - there is a steady drip, drip, drip from Iraq, Afghanistan is off the table, Turkey, Saudi, Kuwait, Israel, Palestine,Iran and we could go on and on

[BonjourUSA]

28. The Sun is an "ass-wiper"

Exactly right for the Bush's level

[Minstrel Boy]

30. "If at first we don't succeed,

kill, kill again."

[tom_paine]

31. Translation: We will invade anyone anytime to insure profits

for Bushevik Capos, contributors, and assorted allies.

My God, his words carry the weight and believeability of Stalin.

And the whole world knows it.

[yellowcanine]

32. With whose army?

The U.S. forces are presently fully engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't know that a draft is going to go over well at this time, Georgie Boy. Maybe instead of being so "young and irresponsible" you should have paid attention to what was going on in the world and you might know what happens to a president who commits troops to unpopular and meaningless wars without planning an exit strategy.

[bushisanidiot]

33. Nice Campaign Slogan, AWOL. I think Rove Is Grasping At Straws to save a

sinking ship.

maybe they are diliberately sabotaging AWOL's chances of re-selection because they know they can't fix the mess they're in..

[alfredo]

34. What an evil little worm

We need to send him back to the private sector. A nice privately owned prison in Texas would be just right. There he can see what it is like being on the receiving end of 'compassionate conservatism.'

[Malva Zebrina]

35. He is, simply put, stupid and further, he is certifiably, clinically

insane. Such Orwellian utterings are truly the words of an insane man--waging war to secure peace, indeed. He is too stupid to even see that what he is reading, the talking points from his handlers, is absolutely insane.

Bush is a war criminal and needs to be arrested and brought to justice.
