"I came, I saw nothing, but I will conquer" smirk's PR stunt
Julius Caesar "I came, I saw, I conquered."
(snip)
Coward

“Bush isn't welcome here. Why do you think he came at night and for just two hours?" asked Haj Taleb, a 70-year-old man.



"He should have announced his first visit here but he's a coward, he's afraid," Taleb said of the US president who paid a short visit on Thursday night under the tightest security to meet 600 of his troops stationed at Baghdad's international airport on the occasion of the American Thanksgiving holiday.




Bush should have met common Iraqis too, say people
"What good did his visit bring us? We want to see him and his troops leave Iraq at once. We want Saddam back!" piped in Hilal Muhayed, 16, as his teenage friends nodded in approval.



"We have no reason to rejoice, we're far worse off with his occupation. We have no electricity, no gas. Let him come here and we'll take care of him," warned one of Hilal's friends, declining to identify himself.



In the Kazhamiyah neighbourhood, residents complained that the occupation forces had failed to bring back security. But they insisted they were thankful to Bush for ridding them of Saddam Hussein.

2. You love Al-Jazeera?
What are you, a terrorist?
Seriously, in this day and age, saying that you love al-Jazeera is slightly anti-American.

3. Bush, the bold liberator... NOT! What he is is:
Edited on Fri Nov-28-03 02:59 PM by HypnoToad
A SLIMY HAMFISTED CUTLERY COWARDLY WORM WITH NO SENSE OF HONOR OR DECENCY.

Hnor and decency?

Not to the troops.

Not to relics of humanity.

Not to the people he's proclaimed to have "liberated".

We've all seen what's happened since December 2002. And it's disgusting that more than 25% of the public still likes him.

My words of ill will toward that worm* (he* is no man) are significant indeed. But I've said most of them already, and the worm* is not worth my time.

Of course, Hilal's friend isn't too keen on recognition either...

4. Backdoor to visit London, backdoor to visit Baghdad. Backdoor "leader of
the free world?" something is wrong here.
