"They're barbaric and backwards." - GW Bush.... 5/20/05.

[pinto]

Bush clarifies his death of diplomacy policy.

Reference is to the President's dismissal of a suggestion that the public pix of Hussein in his underwear may inflame more violence against the US. - as seen on MSNBC

1. Takes one to know one, I guess.

[earth mom]

39. Good one! eom

[understandinglife]

2. Words from a war criminal, a perp of countless crimes against humanity

Explain what you consider this to be, Mr Bu$h.

Peace.


www.missionnotaccomplished.us - Be it MNA Day 4 or 8 or 15 or .... the day will come when 10s of millions of Americans and others stop their typical activities for 24 hours and urge 10 times that many to join should another MNA Day be required. On that glorious day what we once called "America" will emerge.

[Coexist]

3. is it possible for him to humiliate us further on the world stage?

sigh...

[Karenina]

35. I'd love to say NO

but wouldn't dare be so presumptuous. :hide:

[Mrs_Beastman]

4. That stupid asshole

[Wheezy]

5. Maybe he meant

Sadam's underwear was on backwards. That seems like something shrub would say. :D

[beam me up scottie]

6. Great.

Just in case there were any muslims we HADN'T pissed off yet.

[kedrys]

7. Projecting again, what?

Gods below, but he *is* a little bitch... :grr: :mad:

[journalist3072]

8. He should know.....HE's barbaric and backwards!! n/t

[hector459]

9. Bush is not the embarrassment. The people who voted for him are. n/t

[UTUSN]

10. And Let's Do a "CruSADE" and Let's Be IDIOTS n/t

[NMMNG]

11. Let me guess....

He was talking about the fundies, right?

[Ilsa]

12. I heard it on the news and grimmaced.

Could it be any more barbaric than what happened at Abu Ghraib? What about when the Army was torturing parents over the safety of their children? Any more barbaric than Shock and Awe?

I guess he could trot out Bolton to clarify: "They're backwards and barbaric" our nominated UN Ambassafor would say.

[seabeyond]

33. he really said who? was backwards and barbaric

insurgent? or all of iraqi's? i didnt hear it all

[Ilsa]

37. He was mostly speaking about the insurgents,

but it was easy to generalize his statements, and seemed insensitive. What was the point of namecalling in his comments?

I have to say, I think OP on the thread about Bush* trying to rile terrorists up so they'll attack us might be right on the money.

[seabeyond]

38. i feel like it is too. rile people up. feels like it

thanks

[EFerrari]

13. Notice how he always gets into trouble when he uses words

that are multisyllabic? I can't listen to him. He makes my teeth hurt.

[Swamp Rat]

14. Every time Dumbya opens his mouth he proves that he is an idiot.

[Gemini Cat]

15. I wonder if he knows what the word barbaric means.

Barbaric and back-wards. That's a good description what he did and is continuing to do in Albu Graibe and Gitmo Bay.

[EnfantTerrible]

16. Is there a link to this any where?

Anyone?

[Bossy Monkey]

17. It's all over the Internets. Here's BBC News:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4568235.stm
Idiot Boy is about 1/3 way down the article, saying as follows:
'Barbaric and backwards'

US President George W Bush said he did not think the photos would encourage insurgents in Iraq.

"I don't think a photo inspires murderers. I think they're inspired by an ideology that's so barbaric and backwards that it's hard for many in the Western world to comprehend how they think."



As the freepers always say, thank God we have a man like George W Bush as president during times like these. (Yes that was sarcasm.)

[EnfantTerrible]

18. Cheers!

I just got home from work and haven't had time to catch up.

[jazzjunkysue]

23. Love your avatar!

[TheWebHead]

19. don't forget about his added insult

"it's hard for many in the Western world to comprehend how they think."

.. the implication that those primitive folks outside the Western world can comprehend the "barbaric and backwards" behavior.

[bklyncowgirl]

20. This man is a menace.

Alright to give this lying war criminal the benefit of a doubt, he probably was talking about the Islamic fundamentalist jihadists.

How hard is it going to be to spin this into "Islam is a barbaric and backward philosophy."

Come to think of it, I as an American and a Christian had to give him the benefit of a doubt.

Will the average person on the streets of Karachi or Baghdad or Islamabad or even Cairo give him that benefit of a doubt--no way.

[Karenina]

21. You are much too generous

and please let me point out a detail. Did you ask yourself if the average European, Scandanavian, Australian or Chinese would give him the benefit of the "doubt?" If not, why not? Just curious...

[Disturbed]

22. Dumbass Pres has said...

that the beheadings in Iraq were barbaric. Yes, they were yet his buddies in Saudi Arabia behead people all the time and he has never mentioned that. Not only is he arrogant and stupid, he is a hypocrite.

[chelaque liberal]

26. I don't understand why beheading is any more barbaric than

any other type of execution. Isn't the electric chair barbaric too?

[Ms. Clio]

36. I play "spot the troll" by noticing how worked up they get about beheading

As if it was the only standard for barbarity in the entire known history of the world.

In fact, lethal injections performed incorrectly subject the victim to prolonged and absolutely agonizing pain.

[bklyncowgirl]

27. You're right.

The rest of the world won't give him the benefit of a doubt.

My "benefit of a doubt" was rhetorical, in truth I think that Bush is a menace to the world and that by tossing off this seemingly casual line he is in danger of totally destroying whatever shreds of credibility that this country had left in the world.

What will the reaction of most Americans be? The 40% who despise Bush will say it's evidence either of his mental deficiency or his inherent evil. The 40% who adore Bush will agree with him and praise his "tough talk" and the 20% or so who are not strongly for or against him will, sadly, probably give him the benefit of a doubt but may come to realize that he is, in fact, as I've said, a menace.

[Karenina]

28. Do check out this article...

:hi:

[Bluebear]

24. Talk about us being on a "crusade" again, W, that will help.

No, really. :rofl:

[DoYouEverWonder]

25. Bush is doing this on purpose

He knows that this whole thing is going to piss people off and that is exactly what he wants to do. Bush thrives on death and destruction. It is the only way he will be able to keep his power. He wants everyone in the world to end up killing each other. That's what this is all about.

[Karenina]

29. EVERYTHING the *dauphin and his dildoes do

on the world stage is a GIANT

"*F*U*C*K***Y*O*U*! What are YOU gonna do about it?"

to everyone else on the planet. It's STUNNING in its myriad manifestations. From fashion blunders to breaches of protocol to horrifying appointments to broken treaties to economic interference to trampling the Queen's garden and traumatizing her flamingoes to injuries and insults, death and destruction, the level of FUCK YOU AND DIE spewing from Amerikkka to every corner of the globe is HORRIFYING.

This current media psy-op is DESIGNED to provoke. *MIC has some new toys it wants to test out. :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[DoYouEverWonder]

30. This is exactly how they behaved

before 9-11.

I posted about it on another forum that I was on at the time. You could just see Bush was trying to insult the whole world and I kept saying, what is he trying to do? Set off a terrorist attack? Now they are desperate and he is doing exactly the same thing again. How can we stop them?

[Karenina]

31. It is a matter of public record

that everything the *dauphin touches TURNS TO SHIT.

I ask you, WHAT IS NOT TO GET???? :shrug:

[Just Me]

32. He called "them" ideological, too. What a doofus!!!

This shit these neoCONs spin is simply stunning and NEVER ceases to amaze me. Yud think I'd be used to it by now,...but, the Orweillian crap they manufacture on a daily basis still floors me.

[tnlefty]

34. He just gave Pickles a big ol' mountain of damage to clean up.

Why would he say something this pathetically incendiary when she's supposed to be on a 'damage repair and image improvement' tour?

[Blue_In_AK]

40. Oh, yeah, THAT makes everything better...

....calling them barbaric and backward. Great diplomacy, you dipshit.
