Bush to stress humanitarian issues at U.N.
President won't dwell on Iraq, terror war

NEW YORK - President Bush, trying to soften his image overseas as a heavy-handed unilateralist, is using his annual address to the United Nations to offer up a brighter vision of a planet with less hunger, disease and oppression.

Exactly six weeks before Election Day, Bush is equally concerned about his audience at home. In his speech Tuesday before the world body, Bush was making a firm defense of his decision to invade Iraq, although violence is surging and U.S.. casualties mounting 17 months after the president declared major combat operations over.

But unlike his speech to the United Nations last year, Bush was not devoting the majority of his 35-minute address to Iraq and terrorism. His aim is to persuade U.S. voters and a skeptical global audience that there is more to his foreign policy than grim warnings about terror and aggressive use of U.S military force.

His message is that the world is a better place thanks to his policies, and will get better still if nations band together to cooperate with his initiatives.

World Hunger....

violating Geneva Conventions, or bombing civilians, or shooting down small children, or scattering cluster bombs around large cities, or poisoning a country with depleted uranium, or.....................

no wonder he is the world's most hated man.

The actual second portion of the headline is: "President won't dwell on Iraq, terror war"

HOW can he talk to an int'l body WITHOUT stressing those two *seperate* things?

What people will buy, what people will buy. He's got nothin' but SNAKE OIL.

mess....IGNORES how to get more countries supporting Iraq issues.

This is bullshit.

I've read that many nations (including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany) have ordered their ambassadors to stay away for the day....

...A slap in the face by the rest of the world, which is what this would amount to, would be so very good right now. However, if this is the case, it kinda explains why we've been hearing in the news recently that France, China, and Russia provided arms to the terrorists in Iraq.

I have a suspicion that the whole UN visit is for the sole purpose of provoking some sort of insult, so the GOP can inflame the right wing loonies who think the UN is flying around in black helicopters, dropping Chupacabra in their cow pastures...

"His message is that the world is a better place thanks to his policies, and will get better still if nations band together to cooperate with his initiatives."

Better for whom? Overrich merchants of death? Yeah, I toss and turn all night worrying about whether fascist greedheads will be able to show their face at the yacht club if they can't afford the newest, biggest boat again this year.

The Bush Family is a cancer on humanity, sucking up resources and dealing out chaos, death, destruction and misery.

He really is out of touch with reality, isn't he? He thinks that the world is a better place thanks to his policies? He must not inhabit the same world that we do, because he has caused the most death, destruction, chaos, and shattered lives of any president we've ever had.

I can't think of a single thing he's ever done that is good. He is hated world wide. As of now, almost everybody realizes that it's him, and not just Americans, who is causing all of the suffering. If he is elected this time, the world will no longer give American citizens the benefit of not holding us blameless for what he does.

"The UN expects Mr. Bush to be uppity and say something like you're with us or you're with the terrorists." (paraphrase) LOL! Uppity!

I think she was a foreign journalist.

Just going to stand up there and LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE.

More Orwellian words which have no meaning.

Of course his solution is to Unquestioningly Follow Der Fuhrer

Which is the same solution Tyrants and Totalitarians throughout history have offered.

The UN is as crazy as the League of Nations in 1936 if the appease Bushler AGAIN!

Maybe then we will hear what they have to say on this subject.
Or.... maybe not.
I keep thinking that we have freedom of the press here.

The Kiwis are entirely out...

just another stump speech for his sheep... <yawn>

so I suppose they will use voice or quotes in his ad campaigns spouting all the new fantasies people are expected to take seriously this year.

If Bush had done nothing criminal or wrong the past years this STILL would have been enough of a lousy speech to prove he should be booted.

What a rotten crappy leadership the world is saddled with. It highlights the utter danger of settling for mediocre leadership. It reminds me of how they chose the dumb interrelated and inbred royalties to forge a an upper crust bond to guarantee peace- before WWI. Instead it created the worst war imaginable. kaiser Willie was just one of the idiots. Tsar Nicholas was able to turn the most unlikely nation into a disastrous communist bugaboo. The British Empire imploded after their victory.

Well now we have the upper crust, the Bushes, Berlusconis, and the continued mediocre kiss ups the rich and famous use as fronts themselves picking the safe, down to earth and dumb equivalent. Once more they are driving to the opposite of expectations by their supporters, followers and nation. The cost will be obscenely disastrous.

As TR said of Kaiser Willie. He should be strung up. Should have been except that the game has to regroup and blunder into human destiny one more terribly inappropriate time. Neither was the Bush arms merchant who sold guns to America and to the Kaiser. The royalty of murder continues to make everyone feel safe- as they die by the millions.

Hilarious

for the next 30 years...

Too bad the UN wasn't set up to arrest the bastard for war crimes and crimes against humanity when he set foot in the door...of course, that would be an excellent way to keep him away.

will mention it considering the chatastrophic sucess it has been and all.

Frankly, if the man had any shame he would feign stomach flu or something rather than show his ignorant face before the UN.

that he's hated worldwide. Too arrogant, too stupid and too clueless. When you surround yourself with only those people who tell you you're wonderful, well then I guess it's easy to think you are. He's a boil on the psyche of America with all his fearmongering, warmongering, terror alerts and negativity. What we need is progressive, upbeat and optimistic, not this administration of old dinosaurs reliving the 50's.
