Bush: "Some say that America caused the current instability"

"free" = chaos..

Add that to your neocon dictionary

...agenda to talk about...the insidious "GAY AGENDA". The Freedom Agenda is not to be mistaken for an agenda in which people are free to do as they please and love whom they love, the Freedom Agenda comes at the barrel of a gun, and involves Freeing nations from their precious resources...

oh yeah... freedom from those pesky troubles... like bodies. :grr:

My old, cynical comments about the presidential and national "package" never rang so true. This is "package" thrusting in Hezbollah's (and Iran's) face, not one iota more subtle or sophisticated than that.

That's just sad.

I have certainly never heard anyone make that strawman claim, except your stupid ass

WHO DIDN'T VOTE FOR BUSH!

I rounded abit IN HIS FAVOR; I figured 6 Billion for world population
and 99 million for the Backwash 33% of Americans who still support
his murderous, incompetent antics.
I Doubled the 99mil, to account for lunatic fringe elements in other nations,
then knocked it back to 99 again because at LEAST half of his supporters
know we CAUSED this- they just don't have any problem with it.

Gosh, I wonder why . . .

7th grade poly-sci? :shrug:

Operation Freedom Agenda, will seem at times we are invading other countries. In truth, we will be freeing them of their governments, we will free them of running water and electricity. We will free people from electricity here in America, so we don't have to free anymore electricity in 'foreign lands'. May God bless our Freedom Agenda!

it does? I thought you couldn't be bothered to read, Georgie?

I'm pretty sure it shows that - while not strictly America - Imperialistic attitudes by Europe and America have certainly been a major factor in the Middle East.

(and you young folks can turn to a trusted elder or Google it if you like) we had a technology called "vinyl record albums" which could be played at either 33 RPM (that meant revolutions per minute) or 45 RPM. The 45 RPM was meant for little short playing discs called "singles", but for fun, you could set the switch to play an LP at 45 RPM, and it would sound all high-pitched and sped-up. It's because of the higher amount of "spin".

This is why GWB sometimes sounds like Alvin & the Chipmunks. Too much spin.

"Some say" means nothing less than "my straw idiot" and "forward strategy of freedom" means nothing less than "nice sounding buzzwords to describe our agenda, whatever that may happen to be." I think the real criticism is that the Bush policy doesn't help the instability, or worsens it, and that the issue isn't freedom, it's radicalism--and warring against states when the problem is independent terrorist non-government groups is a...let's call it "flawed strategy". No one is saying "terrorism is great, don't fight it," or "some people don't deserve to be free". Critics are saying "Fight it intelligently" and "Let the people decide." Or that's my spin.

He really thinks that people in Iraq and Afghanistan view Americans as liberators and bringers of truth, justice and chocolate bars.

I'm convinced now. He isn't just isolated, uncurious, or even just stupid. He's mad. Totally batshit crazy, and he's going to end up killing us all unless the military somehow neutralizes him.

Either that, or this is a very convincing psywar operation to try to convince Iran that he's crazy, and they should back down on their nuclear program.

My guess, if it's the latter, it won't work. If it's the former, he may just believe he's rapture-ready, and end up blowing up the world.
