Is * all talk, or does he really want a world war III ?

Defense of the United States today, Bush said, requires a similar military engagement against the worldwide "Islamo fascist" network.

"These militants," Bush said, "believe that controlling one country will rally the Muslim masses, enabling them to overthrow moderate governments in the region and establish a radical Islamic empire that reaches from Spain to Indonesia."

But if these radical Islamists are not stopped, Bush said, "the terrorists will be able to advance their agenda to develop weapons of mass destruction, to destroy Israel, to intimidate Europe, and to break our will and blackmail our government into isolation."

Bush said this "is not going to happen on my watch."




I swear if my grandfather was alive, he would think this sounds like 30's Germany :-(

1. basically, he's calling for the annihilation of Islam
that's how his remarks will be played in most of the world. I think he really believes he's been sent by God to lead a holy war against Islam and bring on the End Days.

4. I just can't believe this is our prez (I know he really isn't...)
The things he is spewing sounds like something you would here from the wack job Michael Savage, who wouldn't mind if we just nuked those Arabs :-(

23. State Mental Institutions used to be filled with people who thought
the same thing until Reagan "liberated" them. Little did he know one of them would end up as the President of the United States.

2. I think we are hearing his real thoughts now
I think he really does want WWIII. He is no longer being controlled by Rove, no one is pulling the strings. We are seeing the closest thing to the 'real' bush, and he thinks he is a crusader. At least the perpetual war of cheney's mind had some semblence of sustainability, in order to maximize profits, of coure ( :puke: ) but bush's war, in his mind, is biblical, and end-of-the-world oriented...

:scared:

5. Note he mentioned "Spain".
Edited on Sat Nov-19-05 03:52 PM by brainshrub
Spain is one of the most Catholic countries in the world. Radical muslims would have a better shot at getting to mars in a row-boat than taking over Spain.

The reason he mentions Spain, is because that government is causing all sorts of problems for the BFEE in the realm of international law. IMHO, it will be the a Spanish court that will be the first to charge Bush with war crimes once he has been toppled from power.

8. His thing about Spain
is (1) lots of N. Africans are there. (2) They have had plenty of terrorist stuff that is not ETA-related. Besides, I don't know if Condi has had a chance to check out shoes in Madrid yet.

18. Catholics are not Christians according to the fundies

Are Catholics Christian?

10 Proofs Roman Catholics Are NOT Christian

The politically correct attitude is 'Don't offend them or rock the ecumenical boat. Just accept all Catholics as brothers and sisters in Christ, no questions asked.' But what about these blatantly unscriptural Catholic doctrines? Roman Catholics place their hope for eternal life in their church, the pope, good works, Mary, the Eucharist ... almost everything except the Lord Jesus Christ, who said:

I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me
Holy Bible John 14:6

Should Christians witness to Catholics?

If you really love them, 'Yes'

True love warns people so that they will not die in their sins, and go to Hell.

This page will show you that the Roman Catholic religion is false, and how to be truly saved; through Christ alone

6. This, plus his Bibles in China,
and today's reports--i.e., see the cnn webpage, make it appear that he is calling on the fundies' to rally round, take up the cross and start the biggest religious war ever.
Does anyone know if * is getting advice from some particular Rasputin-type religious wacko now? Or is he getting his religious jump start from the "four corners"?

10. You said

"I swear if my grandfather was alive, he would think this sounds like 30's Germany"

My Dutch mother in law died last December. She had been telling us that since Jan. 2001.

13. Your question implies that * actually considers his actions
in the manner of one who fathoms concepts like cause and effect.
I do not give * the credit of having the same brain power of say Hitler who
was well aware of what he was doing and the strategy behind his actions.
* has a willingness to agree with the neocons but I firmly believe he does
whatever they tell him to do. He does not have specific ideas about
strategy because he does not have the intelligence or interest to be
consumed by such details. Bush is a willing stooge. Bush is a charismatic simpleton.
Bush is directed by the Neocons. Hitler on the other hand was the inspiration
and the driving force of the Nazi party.
The above is just from the gut you know but occasionally I like to pretend I have the intellect of William L. Shirer.

22. The Cold War and the Republican warmongers
Edited on Sat Nov-19-05 05:46 PM by PhilipShore
If the Cold war was still going on between the United State and the USSR, America would not even be propagating, the PLO, Islamic fundamentalist terrorist card. So the CIA and the Republicans created, funded and supported--Al Qaeda-- to justify the continuation of a military-industrial-complex-- regardless if it was needed or not.

It was liberals, and liberalism that caused the Berlin Wall to fall.
