Bush warns Iran and North Korea not to test US patience



A visibly angry George Bush rounded on the two remaining members of Washington's "axis of evil" today, as he dismissed "absurd" suggestions that the US presents the greatest threat to world stability.

At a fence-mending summit with the EU in Vienna, Mr Bush made clear that he believes Iran and North Korea pose the most serious danger when he warned both countries not to test his patience.

Hours after Tehran announced that it would wait until the end of August to respond to an international package to curb its nuclear programme, Mr Bush insisted that Iran must act within weeks.

"It seems an awful long time for a response to a reasonable proposal," Mr Bush said after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he would give his response on August 22. "I said weeks not months and I think that is the view of other parties."

2. Indeed.
Note to Bush: The world is fed up with you and your criminal administration.

3. Or what, A**hole? Are you going to draft someone to fight them? Are
you going to stomp away and drown in a bottle of gin? Are you going to pick up a rifle and strut your manly ass over there and show 'em? No, you're probably insane enough to reach for the launch button! RESIGN NOW!

7. Idiotic
The reason they want nukes is that Silverspoon has proved that having them is the only way they can avoid being invaded! So, they're not testing our patience. We're testing their patience.

9. "At a fence-mending summit"?
shouldn't this be catagorized an "an attempt at fence-mending"

i mean, it doesn't sound like the fence-mending actually happened to me, it was just the intent of the trip.

10. The cowboy bravado
actually does scare me. These culprits are on the go now pay later plan. I suspect that Pissypants would drop a nuclear bomb on either of those two places and let the chips fall where they may. Nothing sticks to them. Before any nation or body of nations could form any charges and prepare to prosecute for war crimes these cats will be long rich and dead. They are still using 9/11 as an excuse to do anything they please around the world. North Korea is like one big prison camp for debtors, with whole families imprisoned behind barbed wire, forced into hard labor. There are plenty of excuses to call ol' Kim a brutal human rights abuser. And I secretly believe we are already bombing the borders and some areas inland in Iran. I would hazard a guess that we have all sorts of intel and psych ops dinking around on the Iran/Iraq borders stirring up rebellion and trouble. I don't know why nobody tells on them. I don't know how they never get caught or get in trouble. I'm dang sure a Democrat president for one wouldn't operate like this and secondly could never get away with it. These effers are slick.

11. Not much in article about other leaders
and how they reacted to Bush. Sounds too like dissent was squashed by the Austrian prez.
