"President Bush thinks that history will judge him as a great leader"
" Bush thinks that history will judge him as a great leader, not unlike Winston Churchill," one former high-ranking military intelligence official remarked.

I just don't know what to say. I read this in an article today and well, I just don't know what to say. Help me, I'm speechless.

10. Maybe he meant "great fisher"?
there's an old formula:

tragedy + time = comedy

he'll still lead in being the butt of jokes for years to come?

20. History will have nothing but scorn for Bush.
Edited on Thu May-11-06 11:49 PM by Marr
Bush will be remembered for being supremely dishonest, incompetent, arrogant, and (perhaps worst of all) power-hungry. He will be referenced only in terms of the dangers inherent in allowing an unqualified, strutting fool to gain power.

He'll become a historian's joke. Something like Edward II.

21. And Hitler in 1945 From Feb to April ordered great armies to
Edited on Thu May-11-06 11:51 PM by Botany
attack the Russians at different points across a map. The attacks never came because the
armies were not there. That is were bush is now. Iraq is freedom. NSA = Stopping al Qaeda.
Lies are good ..... "Quick China I am a little light can you front me an other 100 billion?
Terrar Terrar Terrar I'll keep you safe from terror."

W.S. Churchill had his office right behind 10 Downing St. and underground* from there helped save his
nation and Europe, later on he wrote a 5 volume history of the Western World in the early
1950s any connection that George W Bush has with Churchill is that his granddad (Prescott)
did business with Churchill's foe A. Hitler.

BTW Churchill would practice 1 hour for every 5 minutes of his speeches.



* In WW II especially during "The blitz." He felt he must show "bulldog toughness" to the people.

In some softball interview during the 2004 campaign. "It won't matter, I'll be dead."

41. The first three words
The first three words pretty much show it will never happen

President Bush thinks....

I mean, come on you have to learn how to think first before aiming higher. Then you have to learn how to go to the toilet without permission from Kindasleezy, followed by learning how to ride a tricycle....so we have a long way to go before we get to 'great world leader' phase.

50. Winston Frigging CHURCHILL?

Uh....

1. Winston was a bit nuts, George.

2. In the end, he did eventually sort the shit out.

3. His country was a cigarette paper's breadth away from being invaded and having all its Jewish, gypsy, black and homosexual citizens dragged off to concentration camps, it's women raped and it's children slaughtered in the name of "glory". Your current situation is not really comparable.
