Bush: "Free countries don't develop WMDs"

[Snellius]

Bush: "Free countries don't develop weapons of mass destruction". Just heard the Big Stinky Cheese say that. Wait. Does that mean the United States don't have WMDs? Or England? Or France? Or Israel?

[markus]

1. Either that, or we're not a free country.

Take your pick.

[Emboldened Chimp]

2. No, it means the US isn't really free

but that's obvious

[Walt Starr]

3. How can you ask something so absurd?????

It doesn't mean these nations don't have WMDs.

It means these nations aren't really free.

Get with the program. Why do you hate America?

</sarcasm>

[theivoryqueen]

4. Right - was about to mention US, France, India, etc.....

But I contend we are (at most) only partial UN-free. We still have some freedom left to cling to. And as a result, we are being motivated to fight!

The price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance... Tommy Jefferson.

5. That should get played about a million times

Where did he say it?

oops double post

[NicoleM]

32. It won't.

Because he said it in early October. If it was going to be played, they would have done it then.

[0rganism]

36. Perhaps it's campaign ad material

Face it, the only way to get anything negative about chimpy into the whore press is to pay good money to put it there.

[sandnsea]

6. Or invade other countries

I saw that too. Good christ.

[Ilsa]

7. More * Lies.

I couldn't believe he had the nerve to say that.

People are so stupid and gullible to fall for his rhetoric bullshit.

[Renew Deal]

8. Maybe we aren't free?

:shrug:

[BlueEyedSon]

9. BUSH OKS NEW NUKE

http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/11763.htm

Go figure....

[Dudley_DUright]

10. Just about the stupidest statement I have ever heard out of Chimpy

and that is saying a lot. Does this guy not know that he is control of the largest arsenal of WMDs in the history of mankind? Does he think there is a air force officer carrying around an actual leather "football" everywhere he goes in case he wants to play catch? What a moran.

[tinrobot]

13. He probably doesn't know...

...because Uncle Dick doesn't let him have the keys to the 'football.'

[Dudley_DUright]

18. Great minds think alike

I edited my post to mention the football just before I saw your post.

[demsRus]

11. Once again, the chimp demonstrates his training

Sad thing is he and his cult believe it.

[DemExpat]

12. Huh?????? Ludicrous statement...

What a crock..

DemEx

[Guaranteed]

14. Psssh. The stupidity is so blatant. nt

[maddezmom]

15. OMG ~ he never ceases to amaze me with his remarks

guess he has no idea what he signed yesterday.....

[bryant69]

16. Once again

The Stupidity is so evident, it could be a set up. If it really happened provide a source so we can pull it up and starnt trumpeting. If it didn't happen 'fess up so we don't waste time trumpeting nonsense. (Like the old photshop doctored photo of Bush reading a book upside down).

[democratreformed]

17. I have to tell you a story

Before we actually started the war in Iraq, I was arguing with my dad one day. One of his comments was something about the WMDs in Iraq. I asked him what he thought about all of OUR WMDs. He said WE don't have those. Oh Lord, I couldn't believe he actually said this. So, of course, I had to get on the net and show him some facts, especially about the Pine Bluff facility about 100 miles from our house!

There are some people who really believe these things just b/c somone in supposed authority tells them. It is just unbelievable.

Actually, it was biological and chemical weapons that my dad thought we didn't have.

[Hoppin_Mad]

19. Just now ? In Las Vegas ?

I want to document this bald face lie to throw in the face of the Bush bots.

Thanks

[Lefta Dissenter]

20. Where can we find a transcript??? (eom)

[Snellius]

26. It will be on http://www.whitehouse.gov/ pretty soon

It's the Medicare Reform address to a hospital in Las Vegas.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/

[Loonman]

23. Nice one, Dumbass George

So 99% of the world is not free?

[AG78]

24. This is a shock?

Look at what he's said before. Look who picked him to run for president. Look at what those people want to do. They'll say anything they want. Not enough people know about what PNAC wants to do. Not enough even know who they are. People are too busy just trying to get by in this country to care about something like that. Plus we're American's dammit, and we can do no wrong.

[proud patriot]

25. What a Bafoon ..

:eyes:

[killbotfactory]

27. Who let this man be our president?

What a friggin disgrace

[newyawker99]

52. You are right killbot! He is a disgrace!

:puke:

[kayell]

29. One of those rare, revealing moments

when * actually, inadvertently reveals some truth - this time about US.

[ignatius]

30. Thank God for *. Every time I am about to give up the fight from

being mentally exhausted by the enormity of it all, he says something so idiotic that it shocks me back to life.

The U K, Germany, France, Israel and the U.S. not only have them, we export them to the highest bidder, democracy or not. I read that Israel is now the 5th largest exporter of weapons. Since we continue to send them billions each year, that alarmed me. Are they fronting for our commerce department.

Wasn't it grandpoppy Bush who said, arm both sides in a war and you will always make money.

That is the right wing God, you know.

[Dr Fate]

31. OH? Did we EVER even FIND the WMDs?????

I guess he means hypothetical countries and hypothetical WMDs-

We never even FOUND any WMDs- what is his point of reference here???

[JohnKleeb]

33. lol hes right I guess

We arent free.

[Bertha Venation]

34. What an asshole.

I despise this administration!

[pippin]

35. Wait, wait, wait!!!

Just left thread that said "Bush oks new nuke"!! What the ****? :crazy:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=239444

[calimary]

37. Uh - so how come WE did?

The idiocy of this tin-plated chowderhead just knows no limits. Unbelievable? The most powerful nation on earth, in the hands of a cretin.

[Fixated]

38. He also said:

"Free nations don't attack each other"

[Ficus]

40. Actually free nations don't

I can't name two Democratic countries to go to war with each other. Or two countries with a McDonalds to go to war with each other either.

However free nations do sometimes kick the $hit out of 3rd world countries for oil.

[Lisa]

42. that McDonald's pattern was broken back in '99

With the bombing of Yugoslavia.

Thomas Friedman (who developed it as "The Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention") had to backtrack a bit.

There actually have been examples of democratic societies (or at least countries with parliaments or legislatures) taking up arms against each other -- the US invaded Canada, for example, back in 1812.

[Ficus]

44. True enough about McDonalds

for the most part - however the theory is correct IMHO.

I would say that since Canada didn't recieve independence until July 1 1867, it was the US attacking England. And from 1760-1820 wasn't England ruled by George III?

[Ficus]

45. other than 1812

(which I think was not two democracies at war) can someone name an example? I am just curious - not trying to call anyone out or be a dick. I seriously can't think of any.

[Hoppin_Mad]

47. Er, you forget about The Faulklands ? -eom-

gg

[Ficus]

48. Falklands Islands War?

If I remember right Argentina was NOT a democracy and under military rule in 1982.

[Snellius]

49. .

.

[Ficus]

39. We're free

he's just in a little fantasy world. I actually think he believes the crap he says. I bet he assumes our nukes and chemical weapons (and our allies) are not weapons of mass destruction because they are God's weapons of liberation or some crap.

[salinen]

41. Just as we are amazed by

the stupidity of such absurdity, this sentence will appear on Hannity and rally that awful base of paranoids.

[Monte Carlo]

43. Wowie... is that a Fruedian slip?

Or just another bone-headed F-up? Has he ever heard of WWII?

[Cat Atomic]

46. It must mean that neither we nor our allies have WMD's, because

just last week in Britain, the fool said it was a 'pleasure to visit a country where people are free to express themselves'.

[Snellius]

50. Here's the transcript: (It's even worse than I thought)

Freedom equals peace, as far as I'm concerned. And when you hear us working for freedom in troubled parts of the world, you've just got to know it will lead to peace. We'll deal with the short-term security needs by staying on the offensive. We'll help our children grow up in a free society by bringing freedom to parts of the world that desperately need freedom. Our soldiers -- as we head into Thanksgiving, we need to give thanks to our soldiers for their sacrifice, for the honor they bring to our country, for the service they render by bringing freedom to troubled parts of the world. You see, we're bringing freedom in the heart of the Middle East.

Free countries don't develop weapons of mass destruction. Free countries don't attack their neighbors. Free countries listen to the hopes and aspirations of the people who live in those countries. America also believes that freedom is not America's gift to the world, freedom is the Almighty's gift to every person who lives in this world. (Applause.)

[VOX]

53. Oh, yeah, I forgot that * has a direct hot line to Gawd Almighty...

Check out *'s euphemisms (not that he would know a euphemism if it hit him in the face):

"working for freedom" -- bombing the living sh** out of basically defenseless countries

"troubled parts of the world" - oil-rich Middle East

"staying on the offensive" - we're stuck, so we're gonna blast our way out

"we need to give thanks to our soldiers for their sacrifice" -- I lied, they died

"we're bringing freedom in the heart of the Middle East" -- we're putting untold billions into the coffers of the profiteers and war contractors

[VOX]

54. If it kills millions of brown-skinned people, it aint a WMD in *'s book...

And I guess a "nook-u-lar" weapon ain't a WMD, either...

This idiot has gotta go.

[JanMichael]

55. That's truly fascinating. Like going to the Zoo or something.

I'm just waiting for him to throw his feces at a crowd soon...
