Bush: They're going to attack us again

(and trust that they're so stupid they'll not realize by WHOM). Goering would be proud.

Let's work for PEACE in a working system of comprehensive intelligence,lawful coherence to fairness, and pursuit of Constitutional
justice.
We must now Rebuild a responsible liberal federal answer to the safeguarding of the common good.

"a working system of comprehensive intelligence,lawful coherence to fairness, and pursuit of Constitutional
justice." It IS a PROBLEM...

taken office many of our liberties have eroded.

Like he did on 9/11?

Like I've said before, I'm hoping either the CiA or SS step in to foil their
well made plans before they destroy us all. We may have been thinking too
conservatively when we thought Martial Law was their only alternative.

But now that things are changing within their own ranks...
especially with the alliance of Warner, McCain and Powell; no doubt there is a Plan B.

They keep telling us that it is because of bu$h that we have not been attacked since 9/11

We are Safer but not safe?

because they don't fit into the BIG fear campaign so neatly.

YOU are the true enemy of America, Mr. Bush.

Cheney does it too, especially right before elections.

Do you know this because of torture? Then your information must be so perfectly accurate you can now move to prevent it, RIGHT?

Are we skeered yet?

:scared:

and if you fail to prevent it, it will cowardly claim no responsibility again?

Someone hold me!!! :scared:

:hug:

And welcome to DU. :hi:

:hi:

"I cause yur pain."

Meet you under the bed?

WASHINGTON - Facing a GOP revolt in the Senate, President Bush urged Congress on Friday to join in backing legislation to spell out strategies for interrogating and trying terror suspects, saying "the enemy wants to attack us again."

"Time is running out," Bush said in a Rose Garden news conference. "Congress needs to act wisely and promptly."

Bush denied that the United States might lose the high ground in the eyes of world opinion, as former Secretary of State Colin Powell suggested.

"It's unacceptable to think there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective," said Bush, growing animated as he spoke.

Bush's comments came a day after Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee broke with the administration and approved a bill for detention and trial of foreign terrorism suspects. Bush claims the measure would compromise the war on terrorism.

animated another word for PISSED OFF.

He says "It's unacceptable to think there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective," said Bush, growing animated as he spoke."

Unless I'm sadly mistaken, the United States of America has killed innocent women and children in the course of achieving an objective, which according to Bush is the death of terrorists. The guy is just so out of his depth in trying to even LOOK like he has the ability to be the president, it's sickening.

His words and actions remind me of a woman who was widely known in my neighborhood as, to put it politely, "not quite right in the head". She was what we used to refer to as a spinster lady, and lived with her brother and his family. We used to see her walking down the street, stopping once in awhile to carry on a conversation with a mail box, or a tree.

She wore whatever she wanted, and the results were very often more appropriate for a costume party than everyday attire. She was, however, completely harmless, because whatever she talked to the trees and mail boxes about couldn't cause the hideous number of deaths, maiming, and destruction that the insane mutterings of the occupant of the White House can cause.

I don't fear terrorists, but I do fear what our country has become under Bush and his neocon barbarians. The United States has never been in greater danger than it is right now, but the danger is not from terrorists, but from our own government.

"It's unacceptable to think there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective," said Bush, growing animated as he spoke.


I guess he forgot during the Iraqi war when he ordered the air force to bomb a restaurant that Saddam was known to frequent, I guess on the off chance that Saddam was taking a long lunch during war time, like Brownie did during the flooding of New Orleans. Saddam wasn't there but we manged to kill a lot of civilians including a 20 year old woman. Her mother first found her head, then her torso. To someone who doesn't understand that all of america's actions are good, I could see how that could look like we were killing innocent civilians to gain an objective.

Swine.

. . . and I predict that the "attacks" will very conveniently start shortly after the democrats take control of congress.

That scares me, I dont believe that it will come in the form of an outside terra attack
I know it will come in the form of an Octobra surprise, with Dick Cheney at the helm.......

I know he means November

get this passed before the repubs lose control, he can't possibly try to make it retroactive to cover their asses for their already-committed crimes...

Remember Iraq? Is *'s way of bullying the people he wants to do what he wants. Scare, scare, scare.


Who the hell would fall for this very old line..."time is running out?"

Yeah, time IS running out for your thugs bec the Dems are going to take the House in November and YOU know it!

it was hard to trying to convince people that Iraq and War on Terror are the same? did I get that right?

over to catapult the propaganda." What an idiot!

The guys who write for that show never cease to amaze me with the clever skits they come up with. I wish that skit would be shown in place of the original Geico commercial, so that people could see it about six times every hour on the hour.

Fear !!! Fear !!! Fear !!!

The "Program" won't go forward. I'm officially scared shitless now.

I'm afraid we're also doomed :scared: King George is such an idiot.

TERRA! TERRA! TERRA! TERRA!

BOO!

Democrats won't keep you safe!!

BOO!

9/11!!!

And the world IS dangerous? Really?

And enemies want to attack us? Really?

What a waste of time. Glad I missed it.

"We need the tools necessary to protect America," Bush said. "Time is running out." (There's an election in seven weeks and we may not win it)



"It's a dangerous world," (Dems with supoena power, a real danger to our fascist plans)

"The enemy wants to attack us again." (those damned liberals are waking up, making noise. We could be impeached damnit!)

Bush is truly the clueless one.

But we can't get him because he's probably in Pakistan and the Paks are a Sov-ren nation. I need to go lie down and have some nightmares. Thanks George.

this is something our leadership should CONSTANTLY be reminding the American people in the runup to the election.

Karl even told me the date but I furget....

then we should expect between 1-3 terror attacks before November.

and declaring martial law if it happened.

In that case, it was a feint to get us in a tizzy about that and ignore the relatively more mundane threat of election rigging and voter intimidation.

plan to exploit it?

Time to stop General Rove and President Cheney.

:nuke:

If you don't give me the toys I want, I'LL KILL YOU cuz Mommy said I could.

with a sack of horseshoes!

what a fuck head.

you tell us then that time was running out? Oh yeah, you were on vacation!

but heres the kicker... for 5 years we have had Wiretapping Prisons and War with Iraq

it will show they are ineffective

The only reason they attack us is because we are killing their innocent people.

but I always thought 9/11 happened before we invaded iraq.

um, yeah I heard that on talk radio today:crazy:

:rofl:

after multiple repetitions and in the face of reality, is very concerning. It gives a very reliable indication of the average level of gullibility, lack of critical sense, fear and guilt in this society. Which is probably the highest on the planet at this time.

boy, these guys are a desperate bunch, FEAR FEAR AND MORE FEAR, IT'S GETTING SICKENING ISN'T IT?

Now wait a minute, hasn't been bushie been saying the world is safer without Saddam, now he is saying the "the world is dangerous" yea, bush you have made it that way.

I don't concern myself with either.

Sure sounds like one.

He has unwittingly undermined his own argument.

Trying to stare down a revolt from fellow Republicans,
President George W. Bush warned on Friday that a
CIA interrogation program for suspected terrorists is doomed unless the U.S. Congress saves it and time is running out to act
<snip>
A day after a Senate committee rejected his pleas and endorsed legislation that would protect the rights of terrorism suspects, Bush argued strongly at a Rose Garden news conference for his proposals to allow tough questioning of the suspects.
<snip>
The alternative legislation is backed by a powerful coalition of Republican senators with military backgrounds -- John McCain of Arizona, John Warner of Virginia and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, plus a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
Colin Powell, who was secretary of state for Bush.

Lets hope the gang of 4 is successful

and found guilty under 2441, he seems very motivated to address this issue.

Good plan.

so I'd be happy just having assbrains locked up together with Saddam and nothing but a DECK OF CARDS with pitchers on 'em.

and ranted and raved for just over an hour. he must have repeated the new line of 'if you don't pass the legislatio, the program (of torture) is finished' a dozen times easily. the media asked some genuinely tough questions too, and was he miffed about it. one press guy hit him with a great hypothetical question that went something like, 'what if north korea or iran did what you intend to do with this legislation and used it against an american'. he didn't answer.

one particularly memorable thing he said was, '...imagine an enemy that can't stand what we believe in getting a hold of oil resources and taking a bunch of oil off the market in order to have an economic punishment."

But, I'm sure if we give up all our freedoms - which is what they hate us for - they won't want to harm us anymore.

Bush is setting up his defense for future war crimes charges. He's going to claim the law wasn't clear, it was open to interpretation. He had no choice, it was wartime.... That's what this was all about today and why he kept repeating it.

subjected to the same torture before it is used on any one else. Then we will see how sure he is about doing this to other people.
If he was facing the torture, would he still approve of such activity?

How the hell much more clarity does he need? That rat smell.....

I believe he wants to make a "generic" enemy.

or a genetic enemy if your the Pope

"under the net" so that they could attack before election day.


Hmmmm.

he knows the enemy - he lives in St Michaels, Maryland

Everyday that goes by it increasingly rings true.

"Time is running out."

Remember last time, the dickface vp said vote for us or something might happen.

I say, BRING IT!

All your duck tape are belong to us!

He knows fear. He's trying to scare enough people to force the 3 pukes to change. I hope they hold steady to the bully.

is about to get indicted and that Congress has grounds to impeach him.

“America is tired of the wrongheaded and boneheaded leadership of the Republican Party that has sent $6.5 billion a month to Iraq when the front line was Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia,” Landrieu said.

The United States captured a man who did not attack this country in Saddam Hussein while letting go the man who did in Osama bin Laden, Landrieu said.

“They’re the ones who are in charge and Osama bin Laden is still loose,” Landrieu said.

I loved it!

Don in New Orleans

Another flip flop?

and Cheney was supposed to be in charge to see they don't attack us...

Cheney fucked up...never even had one meeting re terrorism...not one...

Its like he wanted an attack to occur.

...9/11 was all Clinton's fault! It must be true, 'cause I saw it on T.V. :sarcasm:

Yeah - exactly!

And the tools we need to protect America are a Democratic House, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic President!
:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:
If that smarmy little weasel and his crew of weaselets hadn't of stolen the election in 2000 we would never have gotten attacked in the first place.

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! (I apologize for shouting, but he just pisses me off sooooo much!!!! :argh: :banghead: )

They had wmd's!
Saddam did 9/11!
We're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here.
They are on their last legs. They're powerless.

So where is the anthrax killer?
Where is Bin Laden?

You are a total failure. So why in the world should I believe you? I don't.

...Cue the trailer of Bush being escorted to his trial in a straight jacket.

i'm almost inclined to believe they got one a'comin. shiver.

Betting it all on the black. Its the only thing they have.

I hope these 'rebels" hit back hard!

Bush Says G.O.P. Rebels Are Putting Nation at Risk
By JIM RUTENBERG and SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 — President Bush made an impassioned defense on Friday of his proposed rules for the interrogation and prosecution of terrorism suspects, warning that the nation’s ability to defend itself would be undermined if rebellious Republicans in the Senate did not come around to his position.

Speaking at a late-morning news conference in the Rose Garden, Mr. Bush said he would have no choice but to end a C.I.A. program for the interrogation of high-level terrorism suspects if Congress passed an alternate set of rules supported by a group of Senate Republicans.

Those alternate rules were adopted Thursday by the Senate Armed Services Committee in defiance of Mr. Bush. Setting out what he suggested could be dire consequences if that bill became law, Mr. Bush said intelligence officers — he referred to them repeatedly as “professionals” — would no longer be willing and able to conduct interrogations out of concern that the vague standard for acceptable techniques could leave them vulnerable to legal action.

“Were it not for this program, our intelligence community believes that Al Qaeda and its allies would have succeeded in launching another attack against the American homeland,” he said. “But the practical matter is if our professionals don’t have clear standards in the law, the program is not going to go forward.”

So is he just flat out talking out his ass or will he just later say those bad guys in CIA (who work for him by the way) gave him some bad intel.

or "al Qaeda" nukes your hometeam next time they play.

Now he's threatening to let another attack happen. We'll he did it before. Like most mass murderers he'll keep killing till he's behind bars.

He is no better than the worst dictators in history.
He doesn't care a scintilla about the people, their problems
or the World's problems. He is drunk with power and abuses
our country's environment, resources, and the laws of the land.

He is a shameful embarrassment to our country..

Something so he can suspend the constitution.

Time is running out, just not the way he meant it.

Time is running out to stop this

One thing we don't need to do is "clarify" (redefine) Article 3, which will just give Bush2 a way to avoid prosecution for his war crimes.

On the campaign trail in 2000, with terrorism already a very real threat, Bush2 pledged to pursue a "humble foreign policy."

On the campaign trail in 2004, Bush2 promised, "Four more years and America will be safe and the world will be at peace."

YOU and yours are going to hit us again, you a$$wipe! You and your ilk cannot win otherwise. Have I said lately how much I hate these people! :mad:
