’)In an interview with drug addict, racist, and smear artist Rush Limbaugh, President Bush, 11/1/06:
“Anybody who is in a position to serve this country ought to understand the consequences of words, and our troops deserve the full support of people in government. People here may not agree with my decision. I understand that. But what I don’t understand is any diminution of their sacrifice.”
George W. Bush, 7/2/03:
“There are some who feel like that, you know, the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is bring them on.”
were you trying to make a point ollie? If so, what was it?
Indeed, Oliver.
It’s not like anyone could possibly construe your quotes as being indicative of a man so unbelievably detached from reality he doesn’t see the connection, or irony, between these two quotes. Quotes which he himself spoke.
Oh wait. That’s exactly what they do. Good job.
What’s more depressing are the people that post what they think to be stinging rebukes, only to show how thoroughly they miss the obvious point.
“understand the consequences of words” and all that.
Of course the president knew, or should have known, before he went on Limbaugh’s show that Kerry had only misspoken, that did not mean to give the impression that his words left.
It’s a little, shall we say, dishonest for anyone to still insist that Kerry meant to demean or diminish our troops.
Not surprising behavior from these two king hacks.
Bush’s terrorism plan: slap targets on our soldiers and throw them on the firing range.
Irony? Is that what that was supposed to show?
Yea, I don’t get it. Telling the enemy to give it their best shot is not at all at odds with supporting the troops. You see lefties, our military is there to fight, that is actually their job. They are trained to kill people and blow things up, thats what they do.
The only people here detatched from reality are the lefties, most of who have never worn a uniform, who think that the job of CINC is to make sure no one in the military gets hurt.
Uh, yeah…..
When your strategy is fight them there and you say “Bring it on”, it sounds like sacrificing our troops to keep the terrorists happy. 800 casualties last month in Iraq, and the country is too dangerous for mercenaries.
You are aware that even Bush said “bring it on” was a stupid thing for him to have said, especially because upwards of 2,000 Americans died after that? He taunted them to bring it on from the safety of the White House. They brung it. Americans died. I know you guys don’t care, but some of us do.
”and our troops deserve the full support of people in government”
Unlike Bush who cut and run by pulling up the roadblocks used to search for our missing soldier.
Even Bush has admitted that “Bring It On” was an unthinking statement. Which puts him several points ahead of you, pedro, on the humility scale.
Based on your laughable defense of the statement, one can only assume you would have felt equally as impressed if he had simply said “Just try and kill them. I dare you. I double-dog-dare you, motherfuckers. Yee-ha!”
Yea, I don’t get it. Telling the enemy to give it their best shot is not at all at odds with supporting the troops.
Maybe mrpedro doesn’t ‘get’ irony. But that doesn’t keep him from providing a good example of it, since all these US casualties have piled up after bush uttered his chice words. That’s leadership alright, pedro. We are all basking in the warm glow of bush’s leadership.
Oliver: I have a feeling that that’s just it. He DOESN’T get it. To Pedro, Bush’s second line is simply well deserved, confident posturing.
He also feels his first quote is completely unrelated.
And somehow the left are the ones detached from reality.
This one is too easy.
Oh I get it. You guys truly believe that if the POTUS had just kept his big trap shut, all those great americans would be alive today?
Oh, right! It is like Katrina, BUSH killed all those troops himself!
So I imagine then the democratic alternative to all this is to be really quiet and never upset the mean terrorists eh? Yea kids, run on that…it’s a winner…
“You guys truly believe that if the POTUS had just kept his big trap shut, all those great americans would be alive today?”
It makes at least as much sense as the idea that Democrats who question the war or its handling, give the terrorists renewed strength and vigor.
Their side is losing. Their mistakes are being acknowledged, some of their actions are becoming impossible to defend. And they’re hard-wired into their Us and Them mentality, where nothing matters but their side, and everything doneby their side is good, right and just, in the cause of worldwide freedom, justice, and justical freeness. Consequently, they’re losing their minds. Kind of like how Kirk blew up all those computers.
All our soldiers are just George Bush’s little commas.
…No, I think the problem is that the President believes that. To talk about “The Consequences of Words” and how the right as a whole is pushing this dissent-as-treason line doesnt really mesh at all with Bush saying outright “I invite the terrorists to attack. Bring ‘em on.” Either words have consequences or they dont. Bush seems to believe they do, so by his own rubric he has to condemn himself for inciting attacks on our servicemen and women. Thats how that works.
…”ought to understand the consequences of words, and our troops deserve the full support of people in government.”
…with words.
Words hurt, but actions HURT WORSE. Now Sadr can force the US to abandon our soldiers. Weak, Bush.
