The idiot's on TV now talking about the Tsunami's...

[Darkhawk32]

His voice makes me want to :puke: .

[SodoffBush]

1. Is he chopping wood and wiping his brow?

What a fucking prick--$35 mil. LMFAO

[Darkhawk32]

2. $35 million is such a joke....

The UN is right. The US IS stingy.

[SodoffBush]

4. "Stingy" was being kind

The US govt. is full of self-righteous, gluttonous pricks.

12. Merry Christmas to you too

Considering we are richest economy on the planet and we are spending billions a week destroying Iraq you would think that we could spare a dime?

[Stephanie]

13. Yes, let's get out of the UN - it's run by the Bilderbergers!

They are flying in black helicopters right now over my house!

32. The UN was against the Iraq war because their leaders are smarter

than the idiot 59 Million ignorant Americans have elected.

We should have never gone into Iraq and they knew it.

And by the way, the US was aware about aid not going to the Iraqi people and turned a blind eye to it. Here is a link:

http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBL6TH2M2E.html

But, of course, stupid Bush lovers will always find someone else to blame. The blame the UN because they didn't let themselves bully into killing tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis, so the US can secure more oil for themselves. Nice little witch hunt in retaliation. And, of course, there is always Clinton to blame for everything else. Taking responsibility is not something Republicans do.

50. Both Clinton and the current "President" George W. Bush ignored it

http://www.oilforfoodfacts.org/facts/smuggling.html

There is much blame to go around. The US played as much a part in the whole scandal as any other nation. You have to ask Dubya and Clinton why they ignored it. In 1998, when Clinton signed the waiver, he was in the middle of a Republican-lead witch-hunt to investigate an extra-marital affair between two consenting adults. It seems that for Republicans, investigating a blow-job is more important than a President being able to take care of the business of the US.

Actually, a blow-job seems to warrant millions of our tax money for investigating, while starting a completely unnecessary war and killing tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi apparently doesn't.

Maybe Dubya signed the waiver because raising ruckus would have interfered with his plan for his Iraq crusade to bring Christianity to Muslims and more Oil to Americans???

I can't answer your questions. But to blame Kofi Annan for everything is nothing more than another witch-hunt.

65. check out the Peak Oil group if you'd like to find out why the price of

gas is so high and will be much higher very soon. The concept of peak oil is an eye-opener I can assure you, and it explains quite a lot of political maneuvering in every country. (Peak Oil group on DU, with good links to other sites)

[tandot]

66. We'll see what the Paul Volcker report says

if Kofi is at fault, of course he should go.

I guess lots of Americans don't care about "innocent until proven guilty" ... just hang'em now and deal with the facts later...??? There are lots of rumors spread by the Bush Gestapo. I'd rather wait for the facts to come out.

I guess the gas prices are so high because we haven't been able to take advantage of Iraqi oil...yet. Bush apparently thought that the Iraqis would just turn over and not fight for their country and THEIR resources.

And a blow-job is a blow-job...no matter where it happens. He should have had more control and kept his d*ck in his pants. But impeaching him for that??? Please.

[bunny planet]

51. They didn't have to buy the weapons, since we left 380 TONS of

explosives unguarded and marched right past it to Baghdad. That's what they are using now to blow up our troops. Not the soldiers fault, their LEADERS told them to secure the oil fields and not to stop to secure anything else.

61. Yeah, and the UN warned us to make sure to guard them but we were too

busy marching to the oil fields. Our men were there,the weapons were intact when they stayed overnight there. If there had been enough of them on the ground to do the job right in the first place, don't you think a smart military order would have been to leave enough men in place to guard them and send others along to guard the oil? So only the UN f*cked up here.

[Spazito]

62. ROFL, the IAEA sealed them and the US ignored the seals....

the IAEA was not charged with protecting them, the US invaders were and they failed miserably as every bombing shows. You REALLY need to stay away from Faux if you want facts to back up your arguments.

69. The 9/11 commission findings were just the tip of the iceberg, even Bob

Kerrey, one of its members, said they were frustrated in their efforts to get to the bottom of any number of important questions, which remain unanswered. Why was Norad told to stand down? Why was Sibel Edmunds important testimony not heard? Why did an FAA official destroy the tapes taken from the air traffic controllers in NYC airspace that would have been crucial evidence in determining what happened? Why did Condi attempt to not testify, and then proceed to lie and obfuscate when she was on the stand. Why did His Fraudulency stonewall the commission in the first place and then testify without being under oath and holding Darth Cheney's hand? The commission had no teeth and big gaping holes. Not F*cking good enough!

[Spazito]

42. The US corporations stole and are still stealing billions from you...

as well as the Iraqis. US corporations were involved in the theft in the oil for food fund so you might just want to check your facts before continuing your specious attack.

49. ROFL! Halliburton has been found to have missing billions of US...

money that was to be spent feeding and supplying your soldiers. I would classify that as theft and is only ONE of the corporations stealing food and water from your own troops. I suggest you google US Corporations and the Oil for Food program and you will find 4 US corporations listed.

[Stephanie]

48. Yes! I was protesting against the war too, and I just got my check

from Sadddam. Do you think it's still good? Can I cash it?

[wendypan]

68. Yikes! Rant on...

the U.N. is what we make of it. No more. No less. If we want less international cooperation, we'll get it. If we want more, we'll get it. When will people realize that we are in charge? YOU are in charge and responsible for your own decisions. The U.N. is merely a tool in our hands. I say we make the most of it. Support the U.N> efforts.

[Dr.Phool]

14. The U.S. was a different country back then

Right now, the UN would be the best coordinator of massive relief. They already have the infrastructure in place.

And the last time I looked, Florida was in the US. And as far as being rebuilt, I happened to drive down I-75 past Port Charlotte twice this week-end, and it doesn't look rebuilt to me.

Many countries contributed to the rebuilding of Europe. You really need to get your head out of the sand and stop believing the hype that without the US the world would be lost. I say get the US out of the UN too, the US just taints it.

so you should be pleased that bush can't get anyone to help him clean up his frigging mess in Iraq.

[bunny planet]

56. We are spending 6 million dollars an hour occupying Iraq, don't you think

30 million (loaned, not given outright btw) for a disaster that has killed close to 100K people is chicken feed. Great leaders are the ones that helped the Allies win in WWII and had the temerity and intellect to get the job done right in rebuilding Europe. News Flash, * is not a great leader, he is a thief, a liar, and a war criminal for starters. The world is not waiting with baited breath for his speech today about the tsunami disaster. He has fixed it so that the US does not have the moral high ground on anything. We are all wearing the blue dress now, thanks to His Fraudulency.

[Rose Siding]

55. You must have been extremely conflicted by the KE 04 platform!

...since they supported a strong UN and internationalizing foreign policy in many instances.

As for who rebuilt after ww2? ENTIRELY different people with ENTIRELY different motives than the criminals in there now.

Why would any other country send aid to FL??? Get a grip.

67. You didn't see it on Fox but...

In twist, world offers aid to U.S.

LONDON, Sept. 14 — As dust settled over the ruins of New York’s World Trade Center and U.S. airspace reopened, offers of help for the victims of America’s worst terrorist attacks poured in from around the globe. Although the United States has not publicly accepted any international assistance, foreign governments, aid agencies and corporations were eager to join the search and rescue effort, and to provide support for survivors and families of the victims.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/628777.asp?cp1=1

Even this guy offered humanitarian aid

http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/meast/09/20/gen.iraq.saddam/

You expect the rest of the world to remember what the US did generations ago and you can't even remember what they did for 3 years.

And even though they DID, why should the rest of the world rush to help? We are the richest nation on earth! Alms for the filthy rich?

[Drifter]

11. Considering ...

we are wasting 157 Million dollars every day in Iraq (killing lots more people).

31. Chopping is "hard work"

We here "clear brush." Looks macho, good photo op, the dogs can participate to show he's got a "heart," and is proves that he "cares about the environment."

We are so fucked...

[bowens43]

3. Did he blame it on Clinton or Al Qaeda?

that idiot makes me want to vomit. What a f*cking embarrassment.

[electropop]

25. Bush has a response planned for the tsunami

Next week he's invading Syria with 2 GI's and a Halliburton water boy.

[dalloway]

5. it took the Wash. Post to get him out of his spider hole

and show a little empathy.(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6763683/)

He just doesn't get why death affects people, does he? 100,000 Iraqis here, 70,000 Asians there....

[Ryder911]

10. Do you think he'll also pledge...

the 40 million he's planning to spend on his inauguration, in addition to the $35 million already pledged to the disaster victims?

He calls himself a "Compassionate Conservative".

[Truman01]

20. I know we all hate * here but do you really think that if Kerry

was being inaugurated that he would pledge his 40 million dollars to the relief effort? NO, we would have an inauguration just like the GOP. We get tunnel vision around here....

[Patsy Stone]

33. Maybe true, Maybe not

regardless, I doubt that the WH would look as tacky as Wal-Mart if THK had anything to say about it.

[BarbaRosa]

6. LOL

I just happened to pass by the TV, getting a refill of coffee, and saw bush** giving his speech. The sound was off, but the caption below the turd said simply...DISASTER.. how true.

[dzoner]

7. Reply

His comparison of the current Iraqi gov's vision vs OBL's visions, in his answer to the first question, seemed to be an exact copy of Bill Clinton's visions for America in his DNC speech. Just copy and change the names.

[Sydnie]

8. What I found interesting is that it was a "canned" speech

He gave the speech then passed out tapes of it for the networks to show. Nothing live there at all.

Who does he think he is -- Osama?

[Wilms]

29. Now you got me wondering???

[Patsy Stone]

35. Why do you sound surprised?

No ad libs. Ad libs lead to real remarks, real remarks that can later be brushed off as "mis-speaking."

Sadly, I think we've seen the last of the Bushisms for awhile. That was bad PR and it needs controlling. We'll have to look to Rummy for those poems of his and all of the absurdity.

Also, when you have responses to reporters questions at News Conferences already written on 3x5 cards before they ask them, the death knell tolls for any truth, it's more like he's a guest on The Tonight Show.

[Al-CIAda]

53. He has the same production assistants

that is for sure.

[bunny planet]

59. Hey, now that you mention it, I 've never seen * and Osama in the same

room together, do ya think.......... like MJ and LaToya, that they are the same ......person? I think we might be on to something.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

15. Why is this in 2004 election results? nt

[Darkhawk32]

21. You are correct... this should be moved.... n/t

30. Probably because this, too, is a result of the 2K4 Election FRAUD

[DoYouEverWonder]

16. Looks like they barely got him dried out

[Stephanie]

18. Good lord he looks like hell

Red nose, bloated, swollen.

[merh]

17. It was only a radio address. No cameras - is he getting a make

over? I know the press was there, but haven't they been sworn to secrecy and advised that if they leak any info or ask questions that are too tough and outside of the script, they will be banished from the press pool and black balled from society?

[DoYouEverWonder]

22. You're kidding

I refuse to turn on the TV so I didn't watch.

There are a couple of pics on Yahoo. Here's one more. He really looks fucked up.

[merh]

26. ABC had no video of him

it was so strange! (He always looks f'cked up to me!)

[DoYouEverWonder]

27. That's unreal

In this day and age to not have visuals of a live speech from the POTUS, means he must have been really in bad shape. And this is after they had 3 days to straighten him out.

I can't understand the women who voted for Bush because he makes them safe? A man who takes 3 days to sober up to utter a few lame sentences is not making anyone safe.

[merh]

36. I will give you one to ponder (and that will make you ill)

My repuke sister-in-law thinks he is sexy! :puke:
He makes my skin crawl and the sound of his voice drives me to the edge. There is nothing sexy about that man. :puke:

[Sydnie]

43. There were cameras -- C-Span showed it as did NBC.

Although, NBC only showed a little of it. When I heard you all talking about questions I had to surf around to find more coverage because Brian Williams only covered a few minutes of it in total.

[merh]

52. ABC said no video was available!

WTF - have they been bad and are being punished by the weed that would be king? Off with their heads!

28. Saw it on the CNN ticker last night @7pm

It said that this was more than half of their entire fund set aside for catastrophes of this nature.

[Patsy Stone]

38. There was a crawl this morning on CNN

Something about a poll and how * was 4 times more popular among the people they asked than Clinton was.

Um, first: I say BS! (of course, who they asked was relative)
Next: Why did they take this poll? Isn't Bill out of office already? It couldn't just be a gratutitous slap at the Dems, could it?
Last: Why did they report this? It was, btw, running underneath the tsunami footage. I had a Jon Stewart "Bootylicious" moment.

Truly, we are in the world of the absurd.

[peekaloo]

40. CBS cut him off when he started stumbling.......

"beyond comprehension" was the attributable quote....whether they meant Dim Son's take on the disaster or this arsewipe as President I remained confused-ed. :dunce:

[Gregorian]

46. WHERE'S BIN LADEN, JACKASS?!

Sorry, I just had to shout.


Having said that, I want to add that America has lost it's pride. I just went through nearly three months of financial gauntlet, only to be let down every step of the way. People are not proud. It's because we have no future. A leader could make a difference. But since all we have is a fascist pig, who only serves his corporate cronies and masters, the people have lost their will to be proud. Thanks for listening to my little rant.

[Pithy Cherub]

58. * is a humanitarian disaster!

:puke: Maybe * is getting a character implant in crawford...

[McCamy Taylor]

63. MSNBC criticizes him for being stingy and uncaring, check their headline

Yesterday the vampire-space aliens at CNN were having a discussion about how if the US gives charitable aid to other countries they should expect to able to tell those countries how to run things (I kid you not, I thought I was gonna barf.)

:puke:

I submit this as proof that MSNBC is actually better than CNN.

[Last Lemming]

71. Please

Was the Bush statement canned? Not? This is actually a big deal--I think--people have been wondering where he's been over the last couple of days He has been looking so good lately in a serious, my-God-what-is-he-on kind of way--has anyone posted the video of his statement?

I'm a doctor! I can help him!!!!
