My one word to describe Bush is....
Leader
Baaaahaaahaa!
YOu gotta be kidding me, ritght?!!
This one contains a front page from the London Daily Mirror. Above the newspaper’s headline floats another picture, this one of a befuddled-looking, newly “reelected” George W. Bush. The headline reads: “HOW CAN 59,054,087 PEOPLE BE SO DUMB?”
“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”

February 24, 2001: "Saddam Hussein has not developed any significant capacity with respect to weapons of mass destruction," says Secretary of State Colin Powell. "He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors."
July 29, 2001: "We are able to keep his (Saddam's) arms from him," NSC advisor Rice tells the media. "His military forces have not been rebuilt."

When someone lies to you, and you continue to believe the crap they're shoveling you, that's just dumb. No offense. JJ, I know you're smarter than that.
Bush said there were WMD. Over and over again.
There were none.
A note to my legion of fuming detractors: after you look up the meaning of “jingoism,” get all judgmental on me and scrawl another of your angry, pointless, and unimaginative name-calling diatribes, let me help you with your research by answering the inane assumptions and mostly irrelevant questions you’ve already been programmed to ask me: ... Just spare me the other crap. Come up with something new, and add a comma now and then – it won’t use up that much of your crayon.
Our countrymen and women won’t be brought back to rationality through anger. Only reason can accomplish that.

So did John Kerry. So did France, Russia, the UK, and Germany. The whole world seemed to believe he did, but Bush was the only one who went out and did something about it. He put his neck out on something he really believed to be true, and it got chopped because it wasn't true. The irony is the choppers were all saying the same thing he was, Saddam had WMDs, back before we invaded Iraq.

Uh, any republicans (JJ baby, get this one here!) remember who told congress that Saddam had WMDs? BUSH!!! He lied to them, knowingly provided false information, so they are not at fault. WHo then went to the UN with the same lies and knowingly false information? Powell! So can't blame the UN.
Bush&Co knowingly lied/provided false information to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 or had any WMDs, was not a threat to anyone!!!
Yet the people who attacked us, Saudi Arabia, still stands as a make out buddy for Bush! WTF?? If republicans had real balls they would attack the enemy! Not someone who was sitting with his thumbs up his ass not knowing what was going on.
Not someone who was sitting with his thumbs up his ass not knowing what was going on.

I got it, JTR, but senators and congressfolk were already talking to the press about it before Bush said anything publically, including Mr. Kerry. What about the other nations, though? If they just took what Bush said as complete truth and made their own statements based on Bush's statement, that would be the first time I know of in world history where a country has taken another world leader at his word without looking into the matter for themselves. I'm sorry, but France doesn't seem the type of country that would just rattle off what America is saying unless they believed it, too.

And p.s.
I don't believe for a minute Americans are that stupid.. Bush did NOT get re-elected. He got reSelected through vote fraud.
Thine eyes do not lie.. I have NEVER in 36 years of life seen SO many people turn out to vote! It was incredible. Mass numbers turned out - and those extra voters were NOT standing in line for HOURS to vote for Bush.
Be assured of that.
