"We don't appreciate foreigners interfering in our internal affairs."

[BurtWorm]

This is the gist of a remark by a caller on the "Support President Bush" line to a British and an Egyptian journalist this morning on C-SPAN's Washington Journal.

1. Oh I see

But they can finance our government, yeah?

[tk2kewl]

2. internal affairs?

were they discussing the election of Iraq?

3. Was this spoken by an Iraqi citizen....hypocrits. n/t

5. This was spoken by a Republican know-nothing who was incensed

that journalists from al-Jazeera and The Daily Telegraph were giving their honest assessment of how the US was perceived abroad. And of course, the picture these journalists painted was not very pretty; but they were reporting, not giving their own criticisms. The Brit, in fact, said his paper was conservative and actually supported Bush's reelection. (That repulsive Clinton-hater Ambrose What's-His-Schmuck wrote for the DT.) But they said, as anyone with a brain could see for himself or herself, that the world was shocked and disgusted by Bush's reelection, and that what was once an anti-Bush sentiment had, since the election, become anti-American generally.

4. Of all the countrys in the world with the right to say that....

The USA is poorly entitled. I read the headline, and was trying
to figure out who would say that, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Ukraine,
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, Cuba, Venezuela, Columbia,
Mexico... gosh, the list is long... of places where the US
meddles in other folks internal affairs.

Its all a bit rich for the bush nazis to make such comments.

[BurtWorm]

6. Exactly.

The irony was rich--not that the caller got it.

7. But it's ok for the US to interfer in the internal affairs

of Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Columbia , Iran etc etc?

[BurtWorm]

8. As the Brit, David Rennie, pointed out, Americans think the US can do no

wrong.

10. About what, particularly?

About foreigners interfering in a nation's internal affairs? Is reporting what other nations think about a country "interfering" in its internal affairs?

[BurtWorm]

11. We'll never know.

Rest in pieces.

12. We don't appreciate foreigners interfering in our internal affairs, but

...there's always room for the nosy Norwegians (?) :evilgrin:
