Bush uses White House Menorah Lighting Ceremony to pimp War on Terra
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/12/20041209-16.html



THE PRESIDENT: Welcome, everybody, to the White House. Hanukkah is a festive holiday that celebrates a great victory for freedom. We remember the liberation of Jerusalem and a miracle witnessed in the holy temple 2,000 years ago. For eight days the oil burned, and the light of freedom still burns in Jewish homes and synagogues everywhere.

The Talmud teaches that the Menorah lights should perform no function other than to proclaim the miracle of a just and loving God. Every generation since Judah Maccabee has looked on these candles and recalled the sacrifices that are made for freedom. And in every generation, these lights have warmed the hearts of those not yet free.

Today, many Americans are sacrificing to bring freedom and hope to the oppressed. In this holiday season, we pray for the safety of our troops, for the success of the mission, and for their speedy return home. And tonight we have asked the three eldest children of one of our Jewish chaplains, Army Chaplain Shmuel Felzenberg, now on duty in Iraq, to do the honors of lighting the Menorah. Will Menachem, Chaim and Miriam Felzenberg are here to light the candles.

1. Is there anything, or anyone in this world, that bush is not willing to
USE in the pimping of his war on terra?!

Bush is a user but Bush is a user only because people are letting him use them.

I wonder if people feel "dirty" after they realize he has used them?

2. I'd really like to hear John McCain's answer to that question
I wonder if we will ever know WHY he let Bush parade him around like a faithful little puppy dog during the election. Maybe it will come out in McCain's "official deathbed autobiography." Maybe he'll take the story to the grave with him.

Now, Rudy Giuliani...that's a case of blind ambition. I'm sure if you spoke with Rudy right now, he'd give you an earful about Bush being the greatest president in modern times. REMEMBER his RNC comments..."Thank GOD we have George W. Bush for our president?"

:puke:

4. Its not a war on terror
Its a war for zionists, against Arabs.
