Stung by criticism, Bush calls for offensive 'across the world'

US President George W. Bush called for fighting America's enemies "across the world" as he stepped up his counteroffensive following charges that his policies were breeding a new generation of Islamic terrorists.

The call, delivered in his weekly radio address, was aimed at countering a rash of accusations that the Bush administration had seriously mishandled the war in Iraq and created fertile ground for Islamic extremism.

The criticism was fueled by a new National Intelligence Estimate, portions of which were declassified this past week. The document argues that the war in Iraq had spawned a new generation of Islamic radicals determined to strike against the United States...

But Bush insisted Saturday that claims that the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq was helping foster anti-American terrorism were tantamount to buying "into the enemy's propaganda."

"The only way to protect our citizens at home is to go on the offense against the enemy across the world," the president said. "So we will remain on the offense until the terrorists are defeated and this fight is won."

[no_hypocrisy]

1. No problem. * IS already offensive across the world. n/t

[driver8]

2. Someone please shoot me.

I don't know how much more of this hate monger I can take.

He is absolutely insane.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. Insane and he's going to get us all killed, if someone doesn't stop him.

The more he says, the worse off we are.

[Greyhound]

31. Careful what you ask for, this is just the kind of wish

they love to grant.

[Swamp Rat]

3. Where's the nuclear football?

[driver8]

15. The nuclear football?? Oh, Cheney's hanging onto it for "safe keeping."

You don't think they would let pissy pants play with it, do you?

[marmar]

4. Is that a call for WWIII?

The only way to protect our citizens at home...is to make sure Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of these criminals are escorted out of the White House and to the Hague.

[boobooday]

5. So we will keep generating terror and terrorists

So that the war will go on forever. The perpetual blood and gravy train.

[indepat]

33. Lucky terra from abroad is the only threat to this Republic and we the

people, the only thing in the world we have to be concerned with: no need to be concerned about our liberty and freedom and the domestic enemies who would take those from us. No need to worry about good jobs, the cost and availability health care and prescription medicines, the cost of higher education, our standard of living and standing in the world....

[Xipe Totec]

6. We better nuke the moon just in case.

You never know what kind of terrorism might develop there in this millennium.

:freak:

[ClintonTyree]

7. Looks like it's us against the world, folks.

A little "Ryder Cup" style diplomacy. How'd that "Ryder Cup" in golf go this year? We got our asses handed to us......again.

When will "Little Boots" Bush learn that it's easier to get your "missions accomplished" when you're working with others and listening to their input as well? My guess? Never. The cretinous megalomaniac needs a sharp dose of reality to slap him across the face. Hopefully he'll get it this November.

[Marie26]

8. We've met the enemy, and it is us. nt

[Demit]

14. They're working on that part.

If you're not with them, you're against them! There are rumors of a "fifth column" right here in the U.S.!!! The enemies are everywhere!!!!!

I'll have to get back my copy of "It Can't Happen Here" from the friend I lent it to, to refresh my memory of what happens next. It's like they took it as a manual.

[Vidar]

9. Even Hitler stuck to to 2 or 3 fronts.

[Deja Q]

10. What's left to protect here?

There is a bizarre mix of protectionism (security) combined with the opposite of protectionism (economy), which is an irony because our economy is as relevant to our security as anything else.

Where am I wrong? I'll happily admit when I'm wrong too.

[zeemike]

11. A perpetual war against the world until we kill them all

Now where have I heard that before?
Oh I know, Hitler and Orwell's 1984

[JerseygirlCT]

12. No problem! Thanks to Bush, we're already offensive

across the world.

[spooked]

16. And while we're busy talking about Foley, look what Bush just signed!!

With no debate on Saturday, the Senate passed and Bush signed the "Iran Freedom Support Act" also known as the "Iran Sanctions Bill"

This bill will now allow the US to sanction any country supplying Iran with goods or services that could be used in a nuclear program, and the bill is being seen as a clear warning to China and Russia.

US sanctions bill targets Iran allies

"Although it does not name any countries, the measure is seen as a clear warning to Russia and China, two key members of the UN Security Council that have been resisting calls for new international sanctions against Tehran in response to its refusal to halt uranium enrichment...

The bill, passed by the Senate in the pre-dawn hours by voice vote after clearing the House of Representatives a day earlier, came as Iran and the European Union are engaged in delicate negotiations designed to persuade Iran to halt its enrichment work and avoid a major international showdown...

The Iranians have demonstrated that they are deceitful, obstructionist and bent on destroying Israel and all of Western civilisation. We know where this path is going to lead. Aiding Iran to become a nuclear power, even inadvertently, is unacceptable..."

[magellan]

23. If Bush** has his way, there's no doubt in my mind that Iran is next

They'll do the same thing Reagan did to Khaddafi in '81: provoke an attack. Easy to achieve in the name of the sanctions they just passed against Iran, by mounting a forceful and provocative blockade of Iran's ports. Losing a ship or a few planes as a result is all BushCo need to terrorize the American people into rallying around "daddy" and the Repugs as they order our Navy to blow Iran to kingdom come.

I wouldn't be surprised if it happened just before elections.

[AIJ Alom]

17. Ahab (Boy George) chases the elusive white whale (terrorism) and if we

don't stop him, relieve him of command, then our ship (the United States of America) will be sunk.

[Canuckistanian]

18. Oh yeah? You and whose army?

You're not going to get any help with rhetoric like that, Chimpster. And you're going to need some kind of international help.

Iraq is sucking the life out of the military. And for what?

[symbolman]

19. So when China pulls

their funding of our economy, no more Walmart, no more doodads, cheap crap that we're all addicted to and really DO need to maintain our "american" way of life will simply disappear..

TO be replaced by what, PRISON LABOR HERE?

Are they NUTS? China could SINK us like a stone with a Phone call. They just cut up our credit cards like a pissed off drunk Husband and we're all SCREWED.

All they do is SEED catastrophe, they get RICH from Chaos, it's the Bush Family way.

If they don't do a Perp Walk to the Hague soon we're all gonna be working for 25 cents an hour.

[Solly Mack]

20. I call on the world to level charges of war crimes against America

and then we'll really see Bush go on the offensive

[FloridaPat]

21. Halliburton's stock split a couple months ago and has gone done

ever since. I would guess they need a new infusion of money, so we need new wars to send Halliburton into feed and sevice the troops and "rebuild" the newly destroyed invaded country. I would imagine * could get a few more trillion added to the national debt and into the defense contractors hands before he leaves office - if he will leave office.

[rosesaylavee]

22. O joy.

Just when you think he can't get any more insane...

[Joanne98]

24. He's the world's biggest spoiled brat!

[WinkyDink]

25. Bush plans to eradicate murder? INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This man is a COMPENDIUM of INSANITY!! Megalomaniac! Narcissist! Psychopath!

[pat_k]

26. "he stepped up his counteroffensive"?? When the attack is self-inflicted,

wouldn't he need to attack himself to mount a "counteroffensive"?

[Hubert Flottz]

27. Somebody needs to take the glue bag away from the idiot!

He's dangerous. Maybe Poppy should spank the fool.

[glitch]

28. At least they're dropping the ludicrous "charm" from their offensives

as if anyone was buying that.

[LeftishBrit]

29. Bush may want World War Three any minute...

But most of us DON'T.

So go to hell, Mad King George; we all know you are offensive across the world; you don't need to prove it even more.

[hvn_nbr_2]

30. ACROSS the world?

Would that be "across" the flat earth, Dumbya? Be careful you don't fall off the edge. Seriously now, most post-Magellan humans speak of "around" the world. I guess Dumbya, Darth, and Rumbo plan to take us "Across the World in 80 Days" of new wars and torture, or something.

[OneBlueSky]

32. is it just me, or does this sound an awful lot like war-mongering? . . n/t

.

[conscious evolution]

34. Of course it does

he is a war president.he makes policy decisions with war on his mind
