Bush: "The Iraqi people owe the US a huge debt of gratitude."
Edited on Sun Jan-14-07 08:41 PM by Bluebear
Oh this unfeeling monster. Petulant, self-absorbed as always. Blame the Iraqis, it's the latest GOP meme.


THANK YOU AMERICA!

2. That comment about says it all.
The Iraqis should thank us for invading, destroying their infrastructure and killing thousands of them?

Christ on a waffle!!

40. Brief and to the point
but they should also thank him for 20 hours a day with no electricity, and for those private visits from US soldiers knocking down doors to private homes :sarcasm:

5. A fence post has the good sense to remain silent. Proof * is dumber than a post
AAARRRGGGGGGG.

After he is removed from the padded cell the Oval Office has become, can we just drop him down in Iraq to live out his retirement years?

13. OMG...
...the un-fucking-believable, calloused, narcissistic arrogance.

I can not, will not look at that creature's face or listen to his voice at any time or for any reason, but I do have to read the transcript of this interview later.

I hope the Dems take this apart word by word and cram each evil syllable down his ugly maw.

I don't think they feel particularly grateful today. I don't blame them, either.

15. Amen.
And let us all fervently pray that other nations do not seek full and equal retribution, horror for horror, from us.

No amends we ever make will be enough, but I hope we have the opportunity to try. :cry:

28. the night bush gave his speech i think it was that durbin that addressed
after the speech. in durbin speech he said soldiers hae done everything asked for ad time to bring them home. but the way he said it was eloquent and balls on in getting troops out as a win. he stepped over bush's pathetic speech with this. i think bush saying that tonight, that iraqi's should be indebted to us, was taking from durbin, but he said it poor ass, as usual sounding like a fool where as durbin sounded right

This is becoming their new meme too. Well, I guess it has been for a while but after watching the hearings on CSPAN all week-end on this "surge", everytime peole like Condi even mildly acknowledge that they are at fault, they follow it up with some crap about how they are really going to see it that "those Iraqis" cooperate, do their bit etc. etc. :eyes:.

These people are truly shameless.

30. unfortunately, the US owes the iraqi people a huge debt of CASH...
we BROKE it- we BOUGHT it...
and the money that was stolen by halliburton, bechtel, and *'s iraqi cronies doesn't count toward that debt.

31. Disgusting
This from Richard Durbin:

"And we have given the Iraqis so much. We have deposed their dictator. We dug him out of a hole in the ground and forced him to face the courts of his own people. We've given the Iraqi people a chance to draft their own constitution, hold their own free elections and establish their own government.

We Americans, and a few allies, have protected Iraq when no one else would.

Now, in the fourth year of this war, it is time for the Iraqis to stand and defend their own nation."

didn't sound too different than what Durbin said after the escalation speech--namely that we had sacrificed enough for Iraq.

38. It's a lot different than what Durbin said.
Durbin said WE have sacrificed enough for this adventure.

Bush insists that that Iraqi people owe us a huge debt of gratitude.

Good thing to know that we will have replaced a secular dictator with religious one.


Just look at how great things are in Iran...

46. This must be what the PNAC ChimpFluffers are telling him lately
to get the Chimp's blood up when he hears about the negative news. Apparently, these idiots in the White House still can't get over the fact they didn't get their ticker tape parade with flowers and candy through the streets of Baghdad. They are retreating even further inside the bubble and have obviously no grasp of how the world around them feels and probably don't care.
