Bush's acceptance speech

As far as I can gather, the only message, when vague platitudes and promises are discarded, is, "Trust me, and everything will be fine." If I recall correctly, the only previous politician to employ such a message was a little Austrian in 1933. Should I be worried?

 

I think if Bush gets elected we should all be worried

 

Apparently the world is a safer place than it was before the invasion of Iraq, which is nice to know.

Does Switzerland have any oil reserves?

 

Not that I know of, but on the other hand, last week's "Guardian Weekly" had an interview with Nicholas Hayek, creator of the "Swatch" and boss of a large slice of the watch industry. He didn't agree with the Iraqi war and he refused to supply electronic timing parts to the US armed forces for use in weapons. The US government put the screws on the Swiss government to make Hayek deliver, and Hayek responded by cancelling the contract. So, is invasion of the terrorist supporter Switzerland due any day now?

President Bush will probably be elected by the democratic process, so if you don't like him. then bloody tough.

Bush and Blair acted decisively whilst the UN and a few million wafflers just...well waffled.

They achieved their goals whilst thier distactors just yapped like little puppies.

Just a bunch of non achieving plebs.

God Bless President Bush.

Eh? Oh, you mean scored a couple of own ones?

 

Well, that'll make a nice change, since he lost the last election but still got into office.

Absolutely. There's nothing like acting decisively. Decisively going after weapons of mass destruction that weren't there and decisively connecting Saddam with al Qaida despite the evidence from all your security experts saying there was no such connection, and then decisively bogging down your soldiers in a protracted war they can't win. Hooray for decisiveness!

Zoomer you have a very naive outlook on life if you believe in your post here.

 

incorrect,they had already decisively sent inspectors into Iraq to check exactly what threat there was,Bush and Blair said there was on e and attacked.Who was right? Blix has now all but called the pair of them twats

ps over 60% of Americans still believe Iraq were responsible for 9/11

Number of Bush administration public statements on National security issued between 20 January 2001 and 10 September 2001 that mentioned al-Qa'ida.

104 Number of Bush administration public statements on National security and defence in the same period that mentioned Iraq or Saddam Hussein.

101 Number of Bush administration public statements on National security and defence in the same period that mentioned missile defence.

65 Number of Bush administration public statements on National security and defence in the same period that mentioned weapons of mass destruction.

0 Number of times Bush mentioned Osama bin Laden in his three State of the Union addresses

You can whinge about Bush all you want..........the chances are that he will win, so just accept it.

His opponents have had their chance and will probably fail.

Bush will win because he deserves to win.

Margaret Thatcher was probably criticised more than any other leader. She and her followers ignored the yapping puppies and history will regard her has the PM who turned the UK from the sick man of Europe into its most healthy member.

Kerry has a really naff hairstyle. I don't see how he could be anything other than the next Jimmy Carter should he be elected.

(For the youngsters, that would be a bad thing... Nice guy, crap President)

Agree about the hair. His face is too long too. And he's clearly not very principled.

Armed seizure of power by mental patients seems like the best option to me.

I think you may have take my comment too litraly, what I was trying to get at was the fact that I didnt belive Iraq was a real threat to the world and if at any time there was a real threat i'm sure it would be countered with extream force. yet I also belived that sadam should be removed although to do it many lives where lost in Iraq on both sides.
And even now people are still diieing over there due to the current state of the coutry.

 

Mick, I think in the above quote their goals should be in bold. Their goals are not necessarily those in the best interests of the American public or indeed the worlds best interests. There are other ways of combating terroroism but unfortunately that would act against the interests of Bush's backers and his party's interests. So the world has to suffer the consequences of a selfish president. Whilst Bush witters on about terrorism, the American public are distracted from the state of the Us economy utterly huge growing budget deficit, etc etc etc. What would Bush's tenure have amounted to without (his saving 9/11) ??

And incidentally as someone who grew up in Thatchers years, I wouldn't Piss on Thatcher if she was on fire.

Is Kerry going to be any better than Bush? Does he have the background and depth of character to resolve problems in a peaceful and civilised way? I think not.

He loves an adventurous life style. That's why he went to war in Vietnam while other rich kids did not. God knows how many peasants he killed there! He is just another bloodthirsty american war mongerer.

It is up to EU and countries with economic power and influence to tame this greedy and hungry beast that is US of A.

Before it is too late.

 

Mick,

I am not an outright pacifist,I do believe in force as a LAST resort,but the war in Iraq was nowhere near a last resort,many lives could have been saved by waiting for the inspectors to finish their work.Its just weapons grade denial on your part to believe Bush was acting for anyone other than himself and his paylords.As for Thatcher,well,'steam' 'shit' 'my' 'off'.She was and still is a lunatic.

You can't defeat terrorism by force,you simply feed their cause.You HAVE to talk.Bush is just a puppet,and a dangerous one at that,being amoral we should all be worried.
