Who Is He Kidding ??? - Hoisting Bush On His Own Words !!!

From Pretzel-Boy's interview with Arab Television:

<snip>

BUSH: First, I want to tell the people of the Middle East that the practices that took place in that prison are abhorrent and they don't represent America. They represent the actions of a few people. Secondly, it's important for people to understand that in a democracy that there will be a full investigation. In other words, we want to know the truth.

In our country, when there's an allegation of abuse — more than an allegation in this case, actual abuse, we saw the pictures — there will be a full investigation and justice will be delivered. We have a presumption of innocent until you're guilty in our system, but the system will be transparent, it will be open and people will see the results. This is a serious matter. It's a matter that reflects badly on my country. Our citizens in America are appalled by what they saw, just like people in the Middle East are appalled. We share the same deep concerns. And we will find the truth, we will fully investigate. The world will see the investigation and justice will be served.

And...

Again, it's very important for people, your listeners, to understand, in our country that when an issue is brought to our attention on this magnitude, we act — and we act in a way where leaders are willing to discuss it with the media. And we act in a way where, you know, our Congress asks pointed questions to the leadership. In other words, people want to know the truth. That stands in contrast to dictatorships. A dictator wouldn't be answering questions about this. A dictator wouldn't be saying that the system will be investigated and the world will see the results of the investigation. A dictator wouldn't admit reforms needed to be done.

And...

But inherent in your question was, you know, am I anxious to use military power? Iraq was a unique situation because Saddam Hussein had constantly defied the world and had threatened his neighbors, had used weapons of mass destruction, had terrorist ties, had torture chambers inside his country, had mass graves. It was a very unique situation. And he was given a chance to meet the demands of the free world in a peaceful way, but he chose — he chose war.

Sorry, link is from Fox: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,119097,00.html

Did a 'Find on this page' search, and yep, the prick never used the word 'sorry' or 'apologize'.

George, don't you know you have the same credibility problem in the Arab World, the rest of the world, as you do here??? And it's growing exponentially every day!!!

God this guy sounds like an uninformed 10 year old idiot when he tries to explain himself. Would he have to testify at his own impeachment??? How would that work???

They ain't buyin it, dude!!!

you can see * smirking!

The mark of the abusive alcoholic.

I agree - he is in denial, refusing to take responsibility for his actions.

Please don't ask me her name, but she is fairly new, has reddish hair, and obviously speaks with an Arabic accent. She was commenting about the speech this morning and said in no uncertain terms that when Georgie said "the Arab world must understand", that it was going to cause real outrage amongst them.

Evidently, that is a very insulting way to speak to the Arabic people... she said it would not go over well at all. But since when did Chimp-flub-a-dub know anything about anything!

I heard him say "must understand" and thought... "who the f___ are *you* to be telling us what we *MUST* do?"

Sounded awfully dictatorial to me.

THAT's saying a lot!

Full and open investigations??? -> 9\11

Transparency??? -> Energy Task Force

Dictator and Reforms??? -> Takes one to know one

Reforms require course corrections which are taken only after you've admitted things aren't working the way you thought they would.

Otherwise known as a MISTAKE!!!

:argh:

Just like when Fleisher took the blame for "Clinton's negotiations led to war in ME" - then the dufus said it again.

dictator?

It sounds an awful lot like, "If I were a dictator I wouldn't be here, so I must not be one."

Or maybe it's me.

and that "there will be a full investigation and justice will be delivered".

I'm sure he will follow through on these promises right away. Just like the 9-11 Cover-Up Commission, the outing of a CIA agent by WH staff, the lying about WMD's, and all the other misdeeds by this misadministration.

Not holding my breath here.

:hi:

As soon as I heard *'d proclamations of "open society", "full investigations" and "transparency", I started salivating for tonight's 'Daily Show'. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they address what the rest of the new media seems incapable of doing, eviscerate The Chimp for his colossal hypocrisy.

:kick:

In our country, when there's an allegation of abuse — more than an allegation in this case, actual abuse, we saw the pictures — there will be a full investigation and justice will be delivered. We have a presumption of innocent until you're guilty in our system, but the system will be transparent, it will be open and people will see the results.

Two words, BunnyPants...

Guantanamo Bay!!!

He is one SHAMELESS LIAR, no???

:puke:

But in this case we may see several soldiers go up on serious charges...

Oh wait, that would be bad PR in this election year. Nevermind.

From one of the men in Baghdad watching the interview.


“I do believe the president when he talks about investigation, because they live in a democracy, and in this democracy even Bush can be investigated,”

Really? I'd like to see that shit happen. So far, he has been completely insulated from any kind of consequences for his actions.

The reality is, Clinton could be investigated over his penis. Bush is yet to be investigated for his war crimes.
