Bee talk with President Bush
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/05/20080518-8.html

(...)

THE PRESIDENT: Well, you can say that, but the truth of the matter is there's fewer al Qaeda leaders, the people are on the run; they're having more trouble recruiting in the Middle East; Saudi Arabia, our partner, has gone after al Qaeda; people now see al Qaeda for what it is, which is a group of extremists and radicals who preach nothing but hate. And no, I just -- it's just the beehive theory -- we should have just let the beehive sit there and hope the bees don't come out of the hive?

My attitude is the United States must stay on the offense against al Qaeda -- two ways. One from --

Q Smash the bees --

THE PRESIDENT: -- two ways --

Q -- in the hive and let them spread?

THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me for a minute, Richard. Two ways. One, find them and bring them to justice -- what we're doing. And two, offer freedom as an alternative for their vision. And somehow to suggest the bees would stay in the hive is naïve -- they didn't stay in the hive when they came and killed 3,000 of our citizens.

Q Thank you very much for your time, Mr. President.

2. He really is crazy.
Q In Iraq I recently met a soldier. He was medevac'd out on his first tour; he's now back on his second tour -- was already medevac'd to the green zone. How many more tours do these soldiers have to do? Is there an exit strategy for Iraq?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, first of all, the fact that this person volunteered .....

3. "Well, first of all, the fact that this person volunteered ....."

16. Republicon chickenhawks never accept responibility for anything
What a weenie Preppy AWOL Bus (The Chickenhawk) is.

How skanky replublicon low to blame the soldier for the mis-shapen, family-wrecking consequences of Bush's policies to go forward with the republicon Oil Profits Crusade.

10. Or in Bush's case, have someone else whack the hive.
Let the damn bees sting everyone else while you are all safe and sound. You know it's a good idea, the people just don't understand your greatness.

11. The interview ended abruptly at that point, didn't it?
I wonder if Junior's handlers jumped in and cut off the interview when the Chimperor started to show aggressive behavior. They'd be out of a job if they let the boy king lose it during a televised interview.

I seem to remember he scooted himself forward and aggressively pointed his little finger at the interviewer. I couldn't stand to watch it again, but that's how I remember it.

12. I think you're correct.
He was quite testy with his "let me finish" remark. He seemed rather condescending to his interviewer and, once again, that posture of legs spread wide and slumped forward....:puke:

Watching that pinched face, smug bastid early in the a.m. is NOT a good way to start the day.

14. You moron, those were wasps on 9/11, not bees...
No one with an IQ above room temp believes that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11 anymore.
