Hades heats over: GONZO disappointed in U.S.'s image problem
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 10:06 AM by UTUSN
and LIMBSOsevic "apologizes"? Oh, wait, that "apology" stuff is a report from our crack media. No wonder I don't believe it. I heard bits of LIMBOsevic yesterday and nothing was an apology. He said that in politics EVERYBODY has to take their lumps and that he will not pull his punches, no matter who or how sick he is. He said that we, dastardly Libs, make fun of CHEENEE, who is "disabled because of a life threatening heart condition" (lack of one). But what is more galling is how our CRACK media papered over and pretended that LIMBOsevic really really is a normally decent human, who recognizes SOME limit to his hatred.

And as for GONZO admitting to some WRONG U.S. actions, well, dig a little deeper and it turns out the problem is how everybody in the world has "MISUNDERSTOOD". And this is "disappointing" to GONZO. Well, GONZO, *I've* been "disappointed," too, about your CRAVEN criminality. No, you DON'T believe in the rule of law.

Gonzales says U.S. image hurt by actions



By CIARAN GILES, Associated Press Writer Tue Oct 24, 4:48 PM ET

MADRID, Spain - U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Tuesday he believes some of the U.S. actions in its war on terror have done damage to the image of the United States abroad, particularly its commitment to the rule of law. ....

"The notion that the United States does not fully support the rule of law is one I find very disappointing," Gonzales told reporters, especially given that President Bush "believes the Unites States is the leader, is a beacon of hope in the world and it's important that our actions should reflect a total commitment to the rule of law."

He blamed the country's deteriorating image on misunderstanding in Europe about what the U.S. is doing to fight terrorism.

"Part of the misunderstanding is the fault of the United States in the sense that we need to be out there more, talking about what we are doing and why," he said. ....

Gee, gonzo; what part of "invasion of Iraq is ILLEGAL" do you NOT understand???

What part of "Geneva Conventions are quaint" did you NOT understand when you made that ignorant remark?

What part of "unitary executive" did you NOT understand was a clear violation of the US Constitution?

Stupid motherfucker.

And bloody embarrassing that he's just added to our very low image round the world.
