The Freepers are going wild over a WP article on *'s Speech

Here's the article: *'S SWAN SONG????

<WHAT ALLIES? LOL!>

Check out what the freepers are saying:

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/977488/posts

very juicy and some just plain hilarious! They are finally realizing what a f*cking mess Iraq is. Duh!

samples:

I have a feeling this speech will not go over well with many freepers. I do not like the 'put the disagreements behind' posturing crap.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bush does not plan to announce the discovery of any nuclear, chemical or biological weapons in Iraq, his staff said."

Will he even mention the status of WMD? We are owed at least that!

----------------------------------------------------------------------why do they release the text of these speeches in advance, don't they know the media will just edit and cut it up and trash it before he actually delivers it?

edit: usual stuff

This is hilarious, they are truly in PANIC MODE now... that the failures of King George the Lesser are becoming painfully clear.

They have been SO SO blind...and now they finally have to face up to the mess in Iraq.

I think one of the funniest comments was

<snip>
Don't go begging to the french. The President has no right to have our country humiliated like this.
<snip>

Humiliate us? * has humiliated France (Freedom Fries), Germany..and this Freeper is concerned about us being humiliated.

This is SO great. They are all wearing egg on their faces.

Some of them actually thought he was going to announce the WMD find.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

. . . but Bush's decisions and policies have meant little but tragedy for the country and the world from day one. The sooner the Freepers start to wake up, the better. Perhaps some day they will join us . . .

the price being paid by this incompetence is breathtaking. And I am reminded it is my beloved country Dubya is making a fool out of. Gawd I feel sick.

will live as one.


Well, we can dream can't we?

what the Freepers would say about this article:

;-)

Besides that...they consider The Guardian akin to The Village Voice. LOL!

Title: The War on Terror is Bogus
by a Labour MP

The US has already protested. Hope it blows up in Bush*'s face just before his speech. (Maybe it was timed to do just that?)

Wouldn't all of our fine citizens who aren't junkies like us be interested in reading about PNAC. Now that's an education!

<<The US government last night expressed abhorrence at Mr Meacher's views. An embassy spokesman in London said: "Mr Meacher's fantastic allegations - especially his assertion that the US government knowingly stood by while terrorists killed some 3,000 innocents in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia - would be monstrous, and monstrously offensive, if they came from someone serious or credible.

"My nation remains grateful for the steadfast friendship of the British people and Her Majesty's government as we face, together, the serious challenges that have arisen since September 11 2001."

Downing Street also distanced itself from the views of an MP who only a few months ago was in the government. "The prime minister has responded to those who argue it was about oil," a spokeswoman said, adding that oil profits from Iraq are to be fed back into the country's development.

Former ministers such as Robin Cook and Clare Short have criticised the British government for misleading the public over the reasons for going to war. But Mr Meacher has gone much further in his analysis of US and British motives.>>

This article links from the same page as the link above to the explosive article.

Just like his father, Bush is going to start losing his base because he's not conservative enough. Going to the UN is a major sign of weakness, especially after the Right's strutting about Freedom Fries and other BS.

MAJOR Loss of Face....MAJOR.

Doesn't THAT tell you something?

This is *'s Swan Song...I swear.

Let the real questions begin.

Now, even Freepers have to face the truth about "their" guy and his cabal.

Will Rummy resign? You know...to spend more time w/ his family.

"What's very worrisome is that having miscalculated on what's required for the reconstruction of Iraq and having failed to discover WMDs, which is bad enough, the administration then compounds the error by going begging to the french as a solution. Does anyone really think that the french would say that all is forgiven and they're ready to play ball now? This is crazy. It's clear that the President is being badly advised. "

on edit: I stopped too soon. Here's a real gem:

"if he goes on TV and grovels for the U.N. help, you can say hello to President Dean."


Dare I dream!?

This Freeper must be crying in his beer right now. Notice though how s/he still protects * by saying "the President is being badly advised." Uh, yeah he was, BUT he IS the pResident and must take responsibility for this debacle.

* is toast.

I would probably seek psychiactric help if Bush & Co. took personal responsibility for *anything* negative that took place on their watch.

Being a Dean supporter, I loved that one.

:-)

I'd know I was halucinating, hearing voices.

submit to the will of Dean. everyone's doin' it.

Considering he ran on his advisors making up for his incompetence (well, not wexactly how they worded it), getting and following bad advice is inherently his fault and if anything justifies him being booted handily in 04.

when he looked out his window and saw thousands of anti-war protesters.

Someone made the arrogant decision to "protect" Junior from seeing protesters by herding protesters into fenced areas out of sight of his motorcades. Someone even more arrogant christened these fenced areas "First Amendment Zones" or "Free Speech Areas," adding insult to injury and showing their ignorance of Americans' Constitutional right to dissent. Do the freepers even know this? The American media has largely kept it secret. Would they consent to be caged out of sight of a Democratic president when they had a grievance they wanted to protest?

Too bad, by the way, that that "someone" wasn't in Florida to stop the "Republican riot" of Washington GOP pols' staffers demonstrating to intimidate those who were performing a lawful recount. Believing the lie that these were Florida citizens protesting (and no doubt fearing more protesters would arrive -- remember, the Bushistas spread a lie that a mob of "angry Cubans" was on its way), the election officials stopped the recount. That was a travesty that will go down in American history.

Bush* ignored hundreds of thousands of protesters, with a lot of help from the media, just as Louis XIV ignored the anger and dissent that became the French Revolution and sent Louis to the guillotine. Those cheese-eating surrender monkeys took a stand for democracy!

:yourock:

where the king was always an alright guy but it was his evil advisors. These people live in a different century.

I'm on my knees, hands raised to the sky, begging to God, "Let it be so!"

Eugene McCarthy in the first presidential primary I voted in. I voted for Gene because as a woman I knew there was no way in hell that a woman would win, no matter what her skin color. Years later I read that Shirley herself had said she had experienced more discrimination during her lifetime due to her sex than to her color.

Is she still around?

chuckle, chuckle

Sacrifice. Hit that one earlier. WE need to sacrifice, not the people who got the tax cuts, not the corporations getting fat off this war. WE DO.

These are not attacks on the US, they're on the world, even the UN. The UN must make itself 'relevant' by confronting the threat. Or some such bullshit. France and Germany must finally recognize the real threat in Iraq.

Because of the terrorists. Bla bla bla.

Stock up on Tylenol and Pepto, we're gonna need it.

"The senior administration official said Bush plans to argue "that a free, stable and democratic Iraq in the center of the Middle East will be a serious blow to hateful ideologies of terror." "

ROFLOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep ... those "hateful ideologies of terror" rear their ugly head again.

You go George - make that "beautiful mind" of mummy dearest Proud !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I'm aware of.

Though the cabal's screw-ups are myriad nearly across the board, Herr Rove still has a good eye for what appeals to the LCD.

I wouldn't pre-judge this thing too much based on this or any other story and I doubt Karl is sweating bullets over it. *'s polls are dropping and he's been giving hints through Powell and others, of backing away from rigid unilateralism. It's simply time for a speech. I think it's obvious that he'll (appear to) soften his position on UN involvement and they'll want to frame it as though it's coming from a position of strength rather than its obvious weakness.


It's not a press conference for God's sake. :-)

*'s going to give an extremely vetted, very well rehearsed speech.

And look for that slow-motion delivery that reveals he's on major tranquilizers to calm his nerves.

"This article says that Bush is not giving any major concessions to the EuroVermin."

Nice to see stupidity is alive and well over there.....
